WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, Feb. Is, 100

EDGERTON, WIS.,, Feb. 16, 1906.
A big storm followed by zero weather
for few days has interfered with the
delivery of the tobacco crop somewhat
this week and yet dealers are doing all
that is within their power to hasten the
receiving. Additional storage has been
secured by many of the large purchasers
and the bundled leaf piled up in advance
of the warehouse needs. All this is done
to satisfy the pressure of the growers for
immediate delivery. The United Cigar
Manufacturers, the largest holders of the
new crop, think they will be able to re-
ceive all their purchases by March 10th
and most of the other dealers will be
through much earlier than the usual
date for delivery of the crop. Ware
house work is being crowded along with
all possible dispatch at the packing
points and matters moving quite salts
factorily.
The largest transaction in cured leaf
that has taken place in some time is the
reported sale of the Fifield & McGiffin
packing of '04, about 1000 cases, to Jul
ius Marqusee, and also 1100cs of George
Decker Mr.. Marqusee has been an ac-
tive buyer of cured leaf in this state for
some months past and the general i'm
preston is that the goods were secured
for the account of the big trust.
The shipments out of storage reach
300 cases for the week from this market
to all points. Thirty-seven cars of bun
die leaf were received from outlying
points.

Mr.. r. G. Wagner, president of the
Wisconsin Sugar Co., writes the editor
of this paper that in his opinion the res
olutions adopted by the Tobacco Grow
ers and Dealers Association in conven-
ton last week will have the effect of Sc
curing the opposition of our Wisconsin
senators to the bill and their aid in pre-
venting the positive destruction of the
tobacco and sugar beet industries of the
state. "There can be no question, con-
tinues Mr. Wagner, "but tobacco and
sugar will be increased ten-fold in the
Philippine Islands under the proposed
free trade. The area of the islands is
more than double that of Hawaii, Porto
Rico and Cuba put together, and the
population is about three times as much.
This gives ample land and ample labor
Under free trade American capital will
invest in these islands, railroads will be
built and sugar and tobacco interests
will rapidly develop. Mr.. Cooper of your
district was the only Wisconsin congress-
man who voted against the interests OF
his constituents. I will be pleased to
cooperate with the republicans of your
district in trying to defeat Mr.. Cooper
for re- election"

LANCASTER, Penn, Feb. 9, 1906
Our tobacco buyers are busy men
these days, getting in the new crop, not
buying. 1t is being delivered fast, and
probably 60 per cent. is already in the
warehouses. 1t is coming in in good
shape, too, and we hear little or nothing
of disputes between buyers and growers.
So far as can be judged at the present
time, the crop will equal the famous 1902.
crop in excellence.
With the adoption of the bulk sweat
ing system by most OF our larger dealers,
a good deal of tobacco will be ready for
market in few weeks, and from the
owners of this tobacco at least, there
will come no cry about the destructive
black rot
1t appears almost Incredible, ard yet
we hear that contracts have already
been made between growers by packers
for next years crop. 1t was generally
believed that the buyers saw the mis-
take they made in rushing to buy tobac-
CO in the field and on rhe poles, the past
season, for which they had to pay we'll,
too, and it was thought they would
hardly be caught at this again next year,
but it looks now as if they were going to
pursue an even more dangerous system
of buying.

those who have the leaf for manufactur-

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

In it's last issue New England Home
stead called attention to the break in the
protracted broadleaf deadlock. Addi-
tional sales have since come to light and
it is hoped the buying movement will
continue brisk until the broadleaf crop
is practically sold out. Some fair prices
have been obtained for fine lots but
many growers did not secure as much
for their tobacco as they had expected.
Reports from South Windsor say e.
Burnham disposed of his crop at 33c per

co Co. r. E. Simpson sold to a New

In letter to the Philadelphia Ledger
Charles w. Brown, of Sewickley, Pa,
pats the case strongly when ne says:
my contention is that the beet sugar
industry, under the present tariff laws,
is entitled to the same assistance and
consideration that is accorded to our
other protected industries" That is the
whole case ia a nutshell. Good morals
as well as good politics support the con-
tention. Distinctly and specifically the
republican party stands pledged to pro-
lection for the domestic sugar growing
industry. No other industry has ever
received this definite assurance; no 9TH
er prod uct has been named in guaran-
tee of protection. If a republican con-
gress should so far stultify itself as to
consummate the perfidy ip the Philip
pine free trade bill. what will the reck-
oniDg be? The answer is more than
suggested in the 81 votes of the republic
can representatives of beet sugar and
tobacco growing constituencies that
were cast against that bill on the 10th of
January. To drive SO strong a minority
as this into insurrection against false
policy and to be compelled to rely upon
the votes of free trade democrats to car
ry through the deal, may be good party
management, but it doesn't look that
way. 1t is much more like the game of
playing with fire, in which somebody's
fingers are sure to get burned

New York.
NEW YORK. Feb. 10. 1906,

The conditions Of the leaf market are
becoming more problematic ftom week
to week. The question of prices has be-
come subordinated to the question of
supply. The current year has started in
with beating the record of the CORES
ponding period Of the record breaking
year of 1905 with it's output by our cigar
industry of 7,800,000,000. In the two
banner districts of Pennsylvania. as re-
ported in our respective letters from
Philadelphia and Lancaster in this issue
the output for the month of January in
creased over 100000 and that on top
Of the continuous activity of the cigar
industry to the very last day of the last
year. If this unprecedented increase for
the month of January should keep up
proportionately during the other eleven
months there's no gainsaying where the
leaf is to come from to supply this extra
ordinary demand. It is therefore not sur
prising at all to learn as is indicated in
our Lancaster letter that packers are
making efforts to contract for the 1906
crop which it is months yet before it is
to be soWn. And with Is cents offered
for cuttings and with prospects held out
that the offer may go up to 20 or % cents
every SCIdp vi lOUdCCO, oven Lu0 sweep
ings, are assuming a value nearly equal
to their weight in gold. Manufacturers
are therefore fastening to lay in all the
supply they can get hold of at present,
for no matter what the price now, it will
appear to be low in comparison to what
it may be few months hence But this
condition does not prevail alone in the
domestic leaf market. 1t is ruling to the
sane extent also the Havana market.
Every buyer who returns from Cuba
confirms the fact of an almost total ab
sence of old Remedies there and of the
shortage of the harvested new crop and
the prediction of dollar Remedies made
months ago in this place will fall short
of the higher price demanded later on.
AS for Factory Vegas, the disaster thar
befell the Vuelta districts of Pinar Gel
Rio has told already its own story. There
is also likely to be a considerable ad-
vance in Sumatra, inasmuch as very lit
tie light leaf is expected from the new
Connecticut crop. No matter, therefore,
from what point, present conditions of
the leaf market are viewed, they are
neither hopeful Of plentiful supply nor
of scaling down in price. journal
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1906-02-16
New YORK, Feb. 7, 1906

There seems to have been a cessation
of activity in the leaf market this week,
not from lack of demand, but because
of a restricted supply. There seems to
have been more or less activity in the
growing districts, chiefly in the Connec-
ticut Broad leaf district In the Penn
sylvania- tobacco growing sections it is
estimated that only about ten per cent
of the crop remains in first hands, and
this is scattered SO thoroughly through
the country as to make riding" for it
Improbable.
The great scarcity that exists in the
supply of domestic tobacco throughout
the country is clearly shown by the
prices that are now being paid for the
lowest grades Of leaf. Last week lot
of rubbish, damaged by fire and water,
and mixed with all sorts of debris, and
which year ago the 1ner would have
been compelled to pay for its removal to
the dump, was sold recently for several
cents a pound. Cuttings, which last
year were bought at from eight to ten
cents pound. are now bringins as high
as nineteen cents in the local market. A
lot of cheap Pennsylvania filters, which
could have been bought not many
months ago for seven cents, were sold
last week at 121a cents pound.
Sumatra.-Th old stock of Sumatra
has been pretty we'll picked over There
is good demand for light goods, but
importers are unable to meet this call.
According to reports, the new crop will
run more largely to first lengths than
the past few crops have.
Havana.-The market has been some
quieter the past week than for some
time previous. Sales have all been in
five and bale lots.-Leaf.
