iod of the year in the market The old
stock has nearly all gone and the new is
not quite ready to make it's appearance.
Packers are busy sampling the New
England crop for which rush is ex-
pected next month. AS an illustration
of how prices are advanced, the follow
ing story is circulated About six months
ago a packer sold lot of thinner which
cost him 10 cents, to large firm in the
street for II cents. This firm sold the
lot to an, out t-of-toWn house for 1215
cents, but bought it back after while
for 141s cents and sold it lately to one of
the largest manufacturing concerns in
the country for 20 cents. In other words
the price of certain type of leaf ad-
vanced within six months a hundred
per cent. But it is questionable whether
this case can be set up as standard for
the ruling prices to come, although the
market will no doubt present the stiffest
front yet encountered by those who will
be after a supply of the new crops.

they have done for the past two or three
years. so this work may not be done gen
orally until the end of August or the
first of September. Disaster has resulted
when in the past the sampling has been
done before the tobacco was thoroughly
dried off. The Western trade has been
notified to visit the market a month or
so later than usual. Samples from sew
eral 1905 thinner Spanish packings have
been shown. The tobacco is looked up
on with favor and in fact some sales
have already been made. There seems

From all information Obtalnable 1t ap-
pears that the New England tobacco
crop has been making satisfactory pro-
gress during the past week. The wealth
er has proved sufficiently warm to result
in rapid growth, and this may tend to
put on time many crops that were set
out late, and it was feared would make
tardy harvest.
Our correspondents write as follows:
Conway, Mass: 81 see in looking over
the different crops that some of them,
especially those raised on manure alone,
are growing very unevenly. Some plants
seem to be standing still while others
are growing fast" Feeding Hills Mass;
"Fine growing weather for tobacco. The
Taylors have commenced topping their
crop of nine acres, while others will not
begin for a week yet, and few even
later than that" Agawam, Mass: ''To-
bacco is doing WE'LL Some pieces are
being budded. The effects of the cut
worms are shown by uneven tobacco in
spots. Albert E. Belden topped three
acres July IL, first time over. [ wish
that all correspondents would give dates"
Suffield: Tobacco in Suffield is growing
rapidly and is making vigorous growth.
Many crops have been budded and if
nothing interferes the crop should be
one of the best in years. Recent rains
have helped the plants wonderfully, and
the harvest will be fine one we hope"

We can only report another dull week
in the local leaf tobacco market. Many
of the dealers are off on their vacation,
and those at home are making no special
efforts to push their goods. Nor were
many inquiries made last week. The
sampling of goods will not be finished
before the early part of September, and
nobody expects an active market until
then. Several prominent dealers express
the belief that within a comparatively
short time after active buying begins
the warehouses of the dealers of this
county will be swept bare of goods.
Many county warehouses are already
empty.
The weather, lately, has been favor
able for the growing crop, but it is a
most irregular one. In loose, sandy soil
the tobacco looks fine, and is far ad-
vanced but in the limestone belts, where
the bulk of the crop is grown, the plants
are very backward. Some cropping has
been done and much more will soon be
done, but there is much tobacco that
will not be ready for topping for quite
awhile yet. So far no insect pests have
done any damage worth noting

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGRRToN. Wis. August 3, lS

EDGERTON, WIS, August 3, l9U6.
Buyers are out in nearly every grow
ing section of the state making offers on
crops that look good to them, but the
amount placed under contract is consid
erably less than the previous week, show
ing that growers still prefer to wait
until they know more definitely what
they have to harvest. The market is
still further blocked by the publication
of extravagant prices paid, and promises
of still further advance, which is largely
fiction.
1t is no longer secret that the grow
ing tobacco is not doing as we'll as was
hoped for under the present weather
conditions and it seems certain now that
the crop will yield various qualities of
leaf. There is much larger proportion
of small, uneven and late tobacco, some
of which is spindling and showing an
unhealthy growth, but whether due to
the drouth, wire worms or other causes,
the fact remains. In view of these con-
ditions, the large operators still hold to
their determination to hold out of the
market until the outcome of the crop is
more definite. Topping is going forward
in the early fields, which under the in
fence of generous rains are making fair
progress. The later tobacco is catching
I'D too. but the Improvement is not so
marked
The market for cured leaf brings no
new developments. We were in error
last week in reporting the sale of the
Soulman & Mouat packing at GAINESVILLE
and the lot is still in the market.
The shipments out of storage scarcely
reach 400cs from this market to all points
for the week.

The general rains which have fallen
throughout the west during the week
have put most cheerful aspect upon
the tobacco prospects of this state. An
abundance of water fell, soaking the soil
thoroughly and it came just in the nick
of time to save some of the tobacco sec
tions which were beginning to feel the
need of moisture. The storm was &C
companied with but slight winds and
hail fell in only one or two localities
where tobacco is grown. One more
shower week later will put the early
fields beyond any danger of not making
satisfactory growth. The late tobacco
is picking up wonderfully since the rains,
but is yet very uneven and not as
healthy as could be wished. So far
the state has been fortunate in es-
Gaping heavy storms or hail, and the
fate of the crop will soon be known.
At this writing conditions could
be more encouraging and yet the
buyers can scarcely resist the tempta-
tion to start in and purchase, despite
their better judgment would prompt
them to wait for later developments.
Ard prices too seem to be pretty we'll es-
tablished, so the grower can bank on
about what he will receive for his crop,
if all things turn out well.

After ride out among the growing
tobacco fields, Gen. E. NJ. Rogers caught
the inspiration that prompted him to
pen the following panegyric upon tobac-
co: Tobacco is in the air; Is IN the
field; is the talk of the country. 1t fol-
lows the civilization of man: it keeps
close to the gospel of Christ in it's on

dha, Christian, Shinto call for tobacco;
give me tobacco implore the natives of

echoing from the mountain people and
out of the valleys of the remote parts of
the globe; tobacco, more tobacco; take
my Jewels; give me tobacco. The pipe,
cigarette, cigar or chew is sounded IN
the civilized track around the globe, Oh
the seas and islands. From the custom
houses steamers are cleared ladened
with the manufactured leaf, bidding the
call, ''give US tobacco; and now the race
is between the missionary and the tobac
co agent as to who will be first in the

The New York Leaf says One of the
most notable developments of the sum-
mer in leaf tobacco circles is the strong
inquiry for domestic shade-grown tobac-
CO. During the past month or two a
very marked demand for this kind of to-
bacco has been felt, the inquiry coming
from manufacturers of cigars. Indeed,
this demand is now so strong that there
is no denying the fact that domestic
shade grown leaf is now factor in our
manufacturing industry. OF course, the
supply is very limited. So many misfor-
tunes were met with by venturesome
growers during the infancy of the exper-
iments along this line, and so much has
been said of a derogatory nature con-
corning the system, that only a very
small proportion of the acreage has been
devoted to this method of tobacco cul-
ture during the past few seasons, so far
as the northern tobacco sections are con-
cerned. In Florida or in Georgia, how
ever, the new style of tobacco raising has
been steadily prosecuted, and the COM
modify has met with universal favor.
Indeed, the only thing which prevents
shade grown from beng greater factor
in the cigar world is the shortage of sup
ply. We think we can say without fear
of contradiction that if the present sup
ply was doubled every pound of it would
meet with a ready sale and bring very
satisfactory price. The present condi-
tion should be very gratifying to the
pioneers of this method of tobacco cult
vation.

The local weather conditions have
been exceptionally favorable during the
past week for the growing coop and, bar
ring disastrous wind or hail storms be-
fore the crop is harvested, the growers
have reason to believe that the banner
crop of recent years will be the result of
their care and labor.-Gazette.

The situation has improved somewhat
recently, for though good deal of dam
age has been done by the torrential
rains, succeeding warm weather has
broug ht on the plants rapidly, add it is
believed that those crops that have been
washed out and replanted will come out
all right after all, though of course the
harvest will be somewhat late.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

: AS secretary of the Wisconsin Tobacco
Growers & Dealers Association, | sub
NIT the following summarized report
taken from the several township secre-
the state has been increased over last
season about 10 per cent. 1t is safe TO
say there is growing in the different to-
bacco sections close around 10000 acres.
In Crawford, Vernon, Dunn and Rich
land counties the crop has been retarded
and damaged materially by the ravages
of cut and wire worms. In many town
ships growers have been compelled to
set two and three times, necessitating a
scarcity in plants, and as direct conse-
quence the crop has started very uneven.
At least one-half of the crop in the above
counties will Ee two or three weeks later
than usual in maturing. East of the
Wisconsin river growers have been fav-
ored with an abundance of plants and
favorable weather for starting the crop.
Generally speaking the stand is good.
The crop has been retarded in growth
for three weeks, owing to the drouth.
Many fields, however, are equal to last
seasons growth, and the general outlook
for southern Wisconsin is encouraging.
The largest increase in acreage is to be
found in Dane county. The majority of
township secretaries in this county re-
port the crop in healthy condition. In
Rock county there has been no increase
in acreage; growers have been blessed
with an abundance of plants, and with
favorable growing conditions the yield
will equal last seasons CROP In Jeffer-
son county there has been no increase in
acreage. The crop is backward and will
be at least three weeks later than last
season in developing. In Walworth
county growers have planted the usual
acreage, and in the majority of instances
the outlook is encouraging. The general
condition of the growing crop in the
state is scarcely normal. The northern
sections are very uneven in growth and
many fields are poorly cultivated and
uninviting. In Dane and Rock counties
farmers have their crops well in hand,
and with favorable conditions the yield
will be equal to last seasons growth.
From careful perusal of the crop re-
nOrtS received it is fair to nredict one
fourth of the entire crop has been con-
tracted. In northern sections prevailing
prices have ranged from 12c to 15c;
southern sections prevailing prices range
from Sc to 12c. The majority of farmers
will not contract until the crop is ready
to harvest. Our next crop bulletin will
be issued October 1st, at which. time we
hope to submit an accurate report of the
1906 crop of tobacco.
