The apparently rather liberal yield of
cigar leaf tobacco this season should not
permit anyone to fall into the erroneous
idea that the crop is unwieldy. In the
first place the strong demand for tobac-
co and the large percentage of the out
put that is sold in Wisconsin, Ohio, New
York and the southern states is in itself
indicative of the needs of manufacturers.
Moreover the general situation is ex-
ceedingly healthy. Official figures of
stocks of old leaf are not available, but
Judging from trade sdvices and the con-
sensus of opinion Of the best posted au
thorities, holdings of old leaf by packers
and manufacturers are no more than
needed and the advent of the new crop
on the market will be watched with
avidity. Then, too, the Cuban situation
is rather complex at present and many
fear that 10 spite of the settlement of
political trifes there will be rather
moderate Cuban acreage and somewhat
limited output in 1907. Should this
prove TO be the case it will have direct
bearing on Pennsylvania and Ohio filler
stock Then, too, consumption of cigar
leaf tobacco in this country is going for
ward at mighty pace. 1t might be
stated that during the past six yeare,
production of cigars in the United States
has increased to the extent of 80 per
cent, while the output of cigar leaf to-
bacco in the commercial prod ducing states
during the same period has increased
only % per cent. Growers may draw
their own deductions from this.

LANCASTER, PA, Oct. l6

LANCASTER, PA, Oct. is, 1906.
Considerable 1905 leaf tobacco chang
ed hands during the past week in quiet
way mostly in small lots. 1t was bought,
in the main, by dealers who were obliged
to provide the goods for their customers,
and it was secured at figures fitting
around 20 cents pound. A number of
packers sold because they needed money
for operations with the new crop, or re-
quire the warehouse space for that crop.
The past week has been fairly active
one in the new crop, and goodly num-
ber of holdings have been sold by the
growers, though the packers are rot do
ing much in the way of announcing their
purchases. The prices range from 13 to
16 and cents per pound Some time
ago the packers virtually agreed not to-
buy at the high prices asked, but when
few packers began buying recently,
others started in to get their share of the
tobacco. The new crop is curing finely,
and as it will undoubtedly Ee an excel
lent one, it is hardly to be wondered at
that the packers want the goods, though
many feel that they cannot afford to pay
the prices asked. 1t is qnite likely,
though, that in the end they will also
fall into line and get down to buying, in
spite of the fact that during the past
week some of our leading packers called
their buyers in on account of the high
prices asked.
The cigar industry continues good, and
the production is only limited by the
scarcity of bands.-New Era.

ACREAGE OF CIGAR LEAF CROPS.
1882 124.5 1898 1896 1912


Without exception, all the states men
toned above turned out slightly larger
Yields this season than last. The in
crease is due to two causes: generous
acreage, showing an increase IN the ag-
gregate of Ii per cent over last season,
and an all around good yield per acre
The most pronounced enlargement IN
acreage occurred in Wisconsin, Pennsyl-
vania, New York, Florida and Georgia.
Take the Wisconsin crop of 1906, alone,
for example: it is splendid texture, sound
as dollar with very few exceptions and
is curing nicely, whereas last year 70 to
to 80 per cent of the Badger state crop
was partially hail cut On this account
it is confidently expected by growers that
the crop of 1906 will prove more service
able from the cigar makers stano point,
and ought to bring producers better re-
turns than for many seasons. The
growth is quite satisfactory ln most
states, despite the fact that seedoeds
were started a trifie late IN the more
northern districts. A factor to be taken
into consideration, however, IS the rapid
and dry curing of the leaf. Of course
this is highly desirable in view OF the
fact that it practically obviates any ma
terial damage by pole sweat: However,
the fact of tobacco curing dry tends To
lessen the weight slightly, and it may
turn out that many growers VINO, right
after harvest, reported to this journal
very heavy yields, will find the tonnage
Of the crop when in the case slightly less
than they expected. This explains the
apparently moderate yield per acre IN
some of the big producing states this
season.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

DANE CoUNTY's BUMPER TOBACCO CROP.
The assessors statistics of Dane coun-
ty, which probably produces more to-
bacco than any other county in the
United States and more than one-third
OF the total acreage of the entire state of
Wisconsin, is given below. A compare
tive table is also made showing the sugar
beet acreage, derived from the same
source, which will prove interesting.
While the tobacco area has increased
nearly 1000 acres during the year, sugar
beets have declined close to 600 acres in
the county despite the fact that new
sugar factory has been installed in Mad
ison this season. We do not claim that
these figures are infallible, but We be-
lieve them more reliable thar those de-
rived from any other source.

New York.
NEW YORK. Oct. 20, 1906.


The leaf market continues in an ex-
ceedingly fourishing condition. Cigar
manufacturers have come to realize that
tobacco cannot always be had and are
therefore seizing upon every opportunity
not only to replenish but to add to their
holdings of leaf stock. For the situa-
tion in the cigar industry is most excep-
tional, unneard of and undreamed OF.
Factories are SO rushed with orders that
night work seems to have become the
rule, statesmen are being recalled from
their accustomed fall trips and rush or
ders are only partially filled in order to
give every customer an equal chance.
And there is hardly factory that will
bother this year with getting out special
holiday packings. Manufacturers, there
fore, take only time by the forelock when
they increase the holdings of their leaf
stock at every opportunity they may
find. The briskest trade at the present
time is being done in binder leaf The
1905 Wisconsin has at last been sampled
but there would have been panic in
former years among the packers if a crop
had been tainted with as large a per-
centage of damage as the samples of the
1905 Wisconsin show. For the damage
averages from 20 to 25 per cent. in mold
and must. Now, however, packers ac-
ceut the fact of this great damage with
almost sublime indifference. For, in
spite of this great damage, the new Wis
consin is selling at from % to 25 cents
and where the damage was so bad that
the affected leaf had to be thrown out,
the rotten stuff is being literally begged
for at 15 cents In wrapper leaf Suma-
ira reigns supreme. Last years Florida
crop has absolutely disappeared from
the market and the new crop will not
make it's appearance till the end OF the
year. And even then limited quantity
only will be for sale, as most of the new
crop has already been contracted for.
Consequently Sumatra alone is left to
FIJI the wrapper need. The best and
most desirable marks of it are, therefore,
disappearing fast, too. The Havana
market has likewise become very active
now and the old stock is being absorbed
faster than ia many years Particularly
old Remedies are selling we'll and at stiff
prices, manufacturers are anxious to
load up with it as much as possible IN
order to hold out against paying the
still larger advanced prices that is re-
ported the new crop will command. And
a number of factories are reported to
consider already the use of subititutes
in the shape of domestic fancy filters in
preference to paying fancy or what they
term abnormal prices for wet new Rem
edioe, as was done when prices were
driven to an unbearable limit during the
Spanish American war.-Journal.

Buyers are still travelling the growing
districts with sufficient force to lop off a
good slice from the unsold portions of
the crop each week. While prices are
generally maintained we'll up towards
the high levels some shading of the top
figures is quite frequently done. At the
rate of the present movement there will
be but few growers left who stand by

tobacco has been picked UP almost as
fast as it has been sampled, at prices
ranging around twenty-five cents. Geb-
hardt has been selling freely at about
eighteen cents. There has been quite a
brisk inquiry for Pennsylvania goods,
but this tobacco is gradually dwindlirg
in quantity, and ere long it will take ex-
tremely high prices to draw out any
large amount. The demand for Con-

nit of profit to the jobber is limited.

will yield close to 10000 cases and bring
to the growers money value of about
100000 of cold, hard cash. Surely to-
bacco is king.
In it's annual review of the cigar leaf
crop, prepared by the New England
Homestead, some interesting figures are
presented. The 1906 commercial leaf to.
bacco crop of the United States liberal
in volume, is averaging the country
through, the best all around lot of leaf
put into the sheds in recent years. Total
production approximates 176,0OO,0OO los,
against 158,O00,OOO last year. If prices
keep up as they started out, this crop.
roughly speaking, means $25,OOO,OOO to
S35,0O0,000 to growers but of course this
total may vary greatly before the crop
is entirely absorbed.
