LANCAsTER, PENN. Aug. 7, 1906.
The local tobacco market was as duh
last week as the week previous, and only
small sales we're made. They were not
numerous, so the aggregate amount that
changed hands was not large. The sam
pling is being wound up as rapidly as
possible for the packers have their
weather eye open for the breaking of the
lethargic spell around the first of Sep
tember. 1t is the date towards which
all are looking and the buyers say bust
ness must get move on it then. There
have been plenty of inquiries lately, bnt
the packers and would be purchasers
cannot get together on prices The for
mer want prices which the others con-
slider too stiff, and the packers only
laugh at the prices rendered.
The cigar trade is also like that of last
week, dull, as rule, though some of the
manufacturers say they have no lack OF
orders.
The weather, lately, has been ideal for
the growing crop, and fields that only a
little while ago looked as though they
could never possibly mature before the
frost season are now pushing ahead in a
most encouraging manner. Favorable
reports of the crop are received from all
parts of the county.
It is amusing to think how some peo
pie magnify the area that is out in to-
bacco this year. The outside estimate
of people who are in position to form a
fairly accurate judgment of the number
of acres planted this season is that it
will not exceed last years crop by over
20 per cent. and some good judges put it
at only ID per cent.
There is no doubt that numbers of
buyers have been riding the country,
with a view of buying on the field.
Around Intercourse, Newton Miller, Ezra
Zimmerman, John E. Burkey and VIM.
Hurst have sold their crops, but refuse
to state the price. 1t is understood,
however, that they received IL cents
pound through. 1t is said that some of
the buyers have offered from 13 to ID
cents pound for wrapper goods.-New
Era.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES


The first of the crop statistics of the
year, gathered by the assessors, is given
to the public below in a comparative ia
BILE showing the tobacco acreage of Rock
county together with that of sugar beets
with that of last season. While it is not
claimed that these figures are infallible,
we have come to the conclusion that
they are more accurate than those OBJ
tanned from any other source, not accept
ing the statistics from the agricultural
department at Washington.

NEW YORK, Aug. IL, l0O6
Unusually late seems to be the open
ing of the season in the leaf market this
year. In former years the end of July
saw already the market swarming with
representatives of the western trade
eager and anxious to procure the choice
in New England crops of seconds and
light wrapper leaf. Now we are nearly
in the middle of August and the market
is still as dead as in the dullest period oil
the tail-end season. Packers, however
are not borrowing any trouble on that
account. They are neither rushing sam
pling, nor pushing sales, thoroughly con-
vinced that their investments will find
purchasers and at higher rates the later
their stock comes into demand. The
few out. town buyers have betaken
themselves into the Connecticut tobacco
towns in search of bargains. 1t might
as we'll be stated now, as the truth is
bound to reveal itself sooner or later,
that no such boom will strike the New
England crops this year as it did during
the past few years and particularly last
year, when packers refused to sell out
their seconds or light wrappers and
when the markets dictum was: either
the running lot or none at all. For, there
seems to have come again change in
the so unreliable color fashion of the
wrapper leaf. The prevailing fashion of
the past few years for extremely light
wrapper leaf appears to be on the wane
and to have turned again into demand
for the rich brown, genuine tobacco col
ors. This change was noticeable already
in the supply of the new Sumatra and
has now extended to the Connecticut
leaf, a change that is likely to affect the
high value set on the light wrapper leaf
and to make the sale of running lots the
rule again instead of the exception. The
prospects therefore of rising market
for the New England crops are not as
propitious as for the purely binder and
filler crops of the Wisconsin, Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio types. For the latter
types of course the marketable season
is as yet rather little too early although
one house is reported to have sold this
week considerable of its Pennsylvania
packings at from 19 to 20 cents. The
only leaf that is actually selling fast now
is the Sumatra, although it commands
the highest price since it became such a
necessary commodity of our cigar indus
try And that its value is likely to rise
still higher is made clear from certain
circumstances commented on on our ed
itorial page and to which special atten-
ton is herewith called If misery loves
company, then our cigar manufacturers
may find consolation in the fact that
Germany's cigar industry finds itself in
the same straits of steadily rising mar
ket of it's raw material as journal.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGKRToN, Wis, August II, 100

EDGkRTON, WIS.,, August IL, 1910,
The buying movement is pretty we'll
spiked in most of the growing sections,
though good deal of riding is being
done and frequent offers made. Some
sales are being effected when the prices
are attractive enough to overcome the
determination of growers to decline to
sell until the crop is secured. The con-
tracts thus closed range from IL to 15
cents for bundle delivery. Thus far the
large operators have taken but little
part in the movement except to keep
closely in touch with what the other fell
low is doing.
The growing crop is improving won
derfully under the influence of ideal
growing weather and the late fields that
did not promise much before the late
The harvest has commenced in few To-
calities and it now looks as if more to-
bacco would reach the sheds in august
than for some years past. The medium
fields, which have been topped since the
rains, looks likely to attain the best
growth of the year.
The cured leaf market has no new de
velopments. Packers who are now
sampling their 1905 holdings report the
tobacco coming through unusually sound
and as we'll cured and dried off as it
usually is later in the fall.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 300 cases from this market to all
points for the past week.

Topping tobacco is now the order of
the day, the largest portion will be top

9Th of this month it has advanced to an

ness to handle it. Harvest will COM

For Thinkers

The average man seldom takes an
interest in the financial statement OF
an insurance company. He leaves
all this to the agent who makes IT
a rule to point out "our assets and
show how strong I'VE" are, but rare
ly ever calls attention to the facts In
the statement that should be OF vital
interest to the layman, namely, what
a company has already done for pol
icy holders. Mutual Benefit agents
are always anxious to tell the whole
story along this line, and give all
facts along all lines. Following Is
a summary of achievements from
l845 to January l, 1906: Received
from policy holders, $279,421,621.53;
paid to policy holders $22S,96S,-
5O3.66; amount held for benefit or
policy holders, 500, 127.139.95, or
which sum $4S,674,022.OS was not
paid in by the policy holders, but Is
the result of excess interest earnings
and savings because Of mortality and
expenses being below amount calcu-
lated on in fixing rates. The point
for the man who "looks before ne
leaps" should not be as to how much
the policy holders have paid into the
treasury of a company, but what
the company has paid to the people.
