Brisk trading continues in domestic
filler>and binder and foreign leaf. Wher-
ever Pennsylvania can be found at 20
cents, it is being speedily absorbed. The
same quick sales hold good in any kind
of filler leaf if the price is not advanced
over that which prevailed at the begin
sales have been reported, but figures
as sale of 1904 Wisconsin was made at
% cents, the market price of the new
can be easily inferred. The sudden frost
this week has stiffened prices. The
crops this year were bountiful and grew
under the most favorable weather con-
ditions. 1t was therefore hoped that the
price limit had been reached in view of
more plentiful and almost perfect crops,
but the sudden frost cannot but have
affected injuriously the tobacco hanging
in the sheds and it will depend largely
on the amount of damage whether the
stringency in the leaf supply and conse-
quently in the price will let up when the
new crop becomes marketable. Yester-
day registered the last Sumatra inscrip-
ton for the year 1906, and soon the en-
tire supply of this years inscriptions
will be in the market. Prices, however,
are not expected to come down as impor-
tations will not record depressing ex-
cess of supply. Since the American gov
eminent has taken Cuban affairs in
hand, the market in Havana tobaccos
has become very lively again. The en-
barge on stocks has been taken off and
sales are being now freely make. Prices
rule on about the same level as before
the late unpleasantness. A sale even of
new Remedies at the rather startling
price of so cents, startling when it's wet
condition liable to shrinkage of 10 per
cent is taken into consideration. Jour

NEW YORK, Oct. 10, 1906.

Wisconsin and Gebhardt tobacco have
been to the front this week in the matter
of sales, and brisk business has been
done in both types, the former selling at
from twenty to twenty-five cents for
binders and the latter at about eighteen
cents There has been brisk inquiry
for 1904 Wisconsin BIS, but only in small
quantities is this tobacco to be had.
Practically the entire crop has been
lifted at from eighteen to twenty cents
Sumatra- The news from the second
inscription has had tendency to con-
vince those who remained unconvinced
of the unlikelihood of cheaper prices,
and as result brisker market than
usual has been had here during the past
week In fact, the market has been de-
scribed as "lively." Numerous sales in
volving tolerable large quantities of leaf,
are reported.
Havana.-So far as the outlook for the
future is concerned, appearances are
much better than they have been for
some time, owing to the guarantee of
peace and order in Cuba, consequent
upon American Intervention. That a
good crop may be raised next year, there
is no doubt. Leaf.

Connections valley Tobacco Market.

During the recent fog and rains con-
siderable tobacco was taken from the
poles. The statement that the present
crop is good one is heard on all sides.
Not only is the leaf large, hnt the color
is good; making very desirable crop for
US old "hay seeds" to dicker with.
Although the crop is leafy, some pre-
dict that it is not up to last years crop
in the point of weight. Had not last
years tobacco got such black eye from
pole burn, think perhaps that crop ip
many respects was not to be beaten by
the present crop. / hear of very little
pole sweat in this vicinity, but when the
tobacco is assorted little will be found,
for | have never seen a crop without
now and then leaf. Where the hang
ing is being pushed, and care is not TAX
en- to straighten the crumpled and brok-
en- leaves, a leaf or two will be burned
and stuck together, or some plant was
chucked up into corner not properly
ventilated, such plants are apt to show
the effects of the dampness, remaining
too long on the leaves. Not large pro-
portion of the crop has IS yet been taken
down, but enough of the various crops
have been stripped to give assurances of
good crop of good wrapper tobacco.
There are but few sales reported thus
far this season, and these few sales have
been made at figure not calculated to
maintain the predictions that have been
made in every quarter, not alone by the
grower, but by the packer and the man
ufacturer.
Our correspondents report as follows:
Suffield, Ct, Oct /: Three crops have
been bought at 18c, 19c and 20c in the
bundle, and one crop at private sale.
where we hear the price was good one,
for the Hensham Brothers always get a
good price for their tobacco A. N. Graves
contradicts the report that he sold his

"A few farmers have begun stripping
and more will be ready soon. There has
been so much rowen to cut that the
farmers have not been ready to strip to-
bacco until now" North Hatfield, Mass;
mo tobacco has been sold during the
past week, so far as | can learn, but con-
siderable has been taken from the poles.
The crop of the Belden Brothers is all
stripped, with the exception of two acres
of rather late cut Several have nearly
or quite half of their crops in the bun

think, be fewer onions raised in this
vicinity next year. A good many will

to pay for the fertilizing and labor. y

Tobacco growers are desirous of

Tobacco growers are desirous Of get
ting remunerative returns from the 1910
crop. To do this REQ quires the best of care
in handling the leaf Edward Eggert of
Hartford, who spoke before the recent
Springfield convention of the New Eng
land Tobacco Growers association has
the following admonitions TO offer New
England farmers: Don't neglect the care
when tobacco is in shed. After growing
a good crop there is no sense in letting
it spoil by inattention in sheds. Don't
put water on your tobacco; see 1t IS.
cured and ready to strip and in right or
der. Should you have few fat stems
keep them out and tie up in small hands
by the tips, using light dry leaf as
tie, and hang these hands over lath,
butts hanging down. They will soon
cure and be fit to take down at later
damp. Don't take down tobacco that is
too moist or too dry; wait until it is just
right Don't put water on your tobacco;
see that your crop is in proper condition
when taken down and keep it so. Water
on tobacco causes 80 per cent of the
trouble between buyer and grower. Most
Of the canker and mold damages are
caused by water. Don't take down to-
bacco that is dripping from frozen stalks.
Let it drip out and dry off and wait un
til next damp, in order to avoid the dar-
ger of canker and the mold caused iy
drip. Don't strip and pack into bundles
wet tobacco, rather hang it up again to
dry off and strip it next damp. Don't
strip the trash and weather beaten leaf,
and put it in your bundles with tho
good tobacco. Keep it separate, and tie
it up into hands and bale it while in
condition to handle; it will bring more
than If allowed to lie around the sheds
in piles to mold and rot. Don't make
too heavy bales; use 40x48 paper and
have box right size to get bale of about
35 pounds. Don't use cheap heavy pa
per; it only breaks and tobacco gets
broken and dried out. Use the best ma
Mia paper-l2o pounds TO the ream-
4Ox48 This is light and tough, the
strings will not cut, protects the tobacco
and costs less. Don't handle your to-
bacco as though it was worthless. Try
to make even bundles, keeping the leaves
as straight as possible, and have the
butts even. Make your bundles look as
if they were packed, not thrown into the
bundling box. Don't pile your bundles
in shed where the snow can blow in on
them and melt and damage the tobacco.
Pile all your bundles on their sides, not
over three tiers high. They won't warm
up so quickly, and tobacco will mat to-
gether less, making it easier for sizer or
sorter to shake out.

LANCASTER, Pa, Oct. 9, 1906.

LANCASTER; As, OCI. y, 1OOO.
The past week witnessed considerable
buying of the new crop. at an average
price of 15 and cents. Many OF the
growers are still determined to hold their
crops for higher prices, but the packers
think that sales will be general at 10 and
4, or less. Some little stripping has been
done. From what can be learned the
crop appears to be curing satisfactorily
The buyers were out in force riding the
country last week, picking up crops here
and there at the prices that came near
est what they were willing to offer.
There was some selling of 1905 goods
last week, at an average price OF 20cents.
When the packers and those who want
their goods get together on common
ground, the warehouses will be quickly
cleaned out. At present the packers
want considerable more than the other
people will pay, and the goods sold re-
Gently were those that went, mostly, in
small lots.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGRRToN, Wis, Oct. Is, 1906


Buyers are yet picking away at the un-
sold portion of the 1905 crop and gath
ering in moderate amount of it, when.
ever they meet the demands of the grow
ers, which are generally at outside fig
ures. Remove from the reckoning those
growers who have all the time persist
emily declined to contract until their
tobacco was cured and stripped, the un-
sold fraction is now reduced to scatter
ing lots. Sales coming to notice since
last report are:
Mons Staff, 9a at 1886.

Edward Loga, IA at 15&31ac.
Frank Farman, 10a at 1871 &3c.
Aside from sampling their is but little
doing in cured leaf The only transac,
tion of moment reported is the sale OF a
quantity of '05 by Andrew Jenson &
Sons to Frank Pulver.
The heavy freeze last week has injured
some tobacco in the curing sheds is al
ready quite certain, but to what extent
the fat stems prevail cannot be deter
mined until stripping time. The late
tobacco that was yet sap filled has suf-
fered beyond question. Rains have again
come, putting the hanging leaf into case
and permitting more critical examina-
ton of the sheds
The shipments out of storage reach
but about 300cs from this market to all
points for the week.

The crop in the sheds continues to
cure down in fine shape, the rains early
in the week supplying necessary moist
ure. Buyers are still in the field and
sales are reported at good prices. The
success of the crop this year is now as
sured and largely increased acreage
next year will be sure.-Gazette.

being flooded With strange letters in the

printed an article announcing an offer by

Weather prophets even more nu-

predictions for any desired period Practi-
cally all the communications end with a
statement that the writer is confident he

Curious methods of addressing the United
