The asserting season in this city has
now begun in earnest and before another
week passes by but one or two of the
warehouses will he left on the list that is
not in full swing for the winter Dealers
are busy receiving at different points
along the rail lines, while at the ware
houses long strings of teams are daily
scene. 1t is cheerful scene to many
for the earliness of the opening of the
sorting season has nipped in the bud
many 9 case of suffering among the
many families who look to this industry
as livelihood during the winter months.
The leaf that has been delivered up to
this date has been found in an exceed
ingly good condition and in fine case to
handle. Everyone who is interested in
leaf tobacco, from sorter to the grower,
is wearing a lofty smile, all caused by
the early advance of the season and the
price that the leaf of 1906 is command
ing.
Older leaf is sharing but little atten-
ton, all eyes and thought being extend
ed toward the new and not much is to
report along old lines. The sales and
shipments that came to notice for the
week we're: l. B. Carle & Son shipped

shipped car of mixed leaf of 1903 As.

More favorable news comes from a
number of growing sections relative to
the prices at which the new crop can be
secured. A couple of weeks ago the
larger interests withdrew their buyers
from the markets entirely, leaving those
growers who had refused to dispose of
their goods at reasonable price With
none but local packers for the market.
The result has been that in Pennsylvania
and in other sections the few transac
tions that have occurred have been a
shade lower in price. The spectators
are also fearful lest they will be unable
to unload the crops they had contracted
for. 1t is fully time the growers arrived
at right idea concerning the facts in
the case, for they have been demanding
as much for the new crop as the packers
have been getting for the old.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market

There has been but little movement in
the market of late. Riding proceeds to
fair extent, but few transactions are
reported. Buyers are showing no es-
pecial eagerness, and the prices they are
offering do not satisfy growers. Many
of the latter, indeed, are declining to
show their tobacco under prevailing con-
ditions and declaring their intention to
assort it themselves. The range Of prices
remains about the same, from IA to %
cents per pound, with few sales of
specially fine crops couple of cents
higher.
Our correspondents report as follows:
Montague, Mass: "a. NJ Lyman has
sold his crop of 5 acres at 16c. f I.
Lyman sold crop of 2 acres at around
14c in the bundle to Pease of Hatfi Id.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDaRRroN, WIS. Dec. q, 1906

EDGRRToN, WIS.,. Dec. q, 1906.
The 1905 crop is now being received at
the packing points in moderate quanti-
ties and is coming generally in quite sat
isfactory condition. Another casing
spell during the week has given growers
hanging leaf ard dnish stripping. Soon
the entire crop will be ready for delivery
and packers are looking forward to the
time when farmers will all be urging
their claims for early delivery. The
pressure promises to be stronger than
ever and the ingenuity of packers will be
taxed to satisfy the clamoring. The
yield of the tobacco in the southern Sec
tions surpasses expectations. One pack
er informs as that only two out of nearly
fifty crops received has weighed in under
1900 pounds per acre, while the money
returns are correspondingly large. 1t
seems almost certain that more growers
in the state will obtain better than $1,000
than a less sum for their tobacco crop
this year.
Warehouse sorting in dozen or more
warehouses in this market is becoming
we'll organized and running smoothly.
The tobacco is easily handled and help
is making satisfactory wages. An occa-
sional crop is yet being sold at around
15c or better. Matters in cured leaf are
very quiet at present in local markets
where attention is now devoted to the
new crop exclusively.
The shipments out of storage reach
close to 1000 cases or 20 car loads TO all
points from this market for the past
week.

If the present condition of the leaf
market we're to be taken as a standard
of the country's business there could be
but one verdict, namely, dullness. Busl-
ness in the leaf market seems to have
stopped completely for what is left of
the current year. Business in this con-
nection'is naturally meant as compared
with the activity that rushed the leaf
market down to the beginning of this
month. For some business is always in
evidence. Some factories do always
supply themselves only from hand to
mouth and their immediate needs have
to be satisfied almost daily. Then there
are the mail orders to look after. So
there is no absolute standstill, but en-
terprises of large venture have come to
stop. giving the market plenty of leisure
to survey the years doings and to get
out the years balance sheet.
A steady decline in the volume of or
ders booked is noticeable at most of the
independent factories and the holiday
business seems to be practically at an
end. A few rush orders of course, come
in from time to time and deliveries are
not yet concluded. but there is little of
the scramb BILE of month ago and the in
dustry is assuming less strenuous and
worried aspect. Not that conditions
could be called dull, however. On the
contrary, business is fully as lively as it
usually is at this time of year, only any
thing approaching the normal seems
stagnancy in comparison with the re-
cent boom. Now that they have little
leisure, manufacturers are beginning to
lay their plans for the coming year. As
regards demand the outlook is consider
ed excellent and goodly number of or
ders for delivery after January have
already been booked. On the other
hand the raw material outlook has not
frightened up as yet, and unless manu-
facturers can devise some method OF

LANCASTER, Pa, Dec IL, 1906.
The local leaf tobacco market shows
no signs of improvement, and last week
was as dull as for some weeks prior, de-
spite the fact that an unusually large
number of tobacco men were in the city.
1t is the old story, the packers and in
quirers cannot get together on the prices,
the former asking rather mora than the
others will give. In fact, the intending
buyers offer less now than they did some
weeks ago, which is not in line with the
packers hopes Of rise. They are still
hopeful, however. believing that the
manufacturers reserve stock of leaf
must be near exhaustion, and that their
demand for old goods will raise prices
Nor has there been any activity among
the gro 1ers, who still hold to stiff prices
for their packings. The leaf still uncon-
tracted for is mostly held by growers
who can afford to hold, and they will not
lower their demands until they are alb
solutely convinced that the packers will
not yield to them. Stripping is going on
actively, but the deliveries at the ware
houses last week were insignificant.
The cigar industry continues to boom,
and the only drawback is lack of cigar
makers. Some of the manufacturers are
so pushed that they will have a hard
time getting out their Christmas orders.

Plain, hard truths were set before New
England tobacco growers by DR.. X. d.
Jenkins, of the Connecticut Agricultural
Experiment Station. In discussing "Re
quirements of the Tobacco Trade and
How Can the Grower Meet Them" DR..
Jenkins indicated clearly that competi-
tive conditions and not buyers con-
spiracy are behind the existing situation
in New England tobacco. "Sumatra leaf
has for years been thorn in our flesh,
and it wraps more than one third of all
the cigars made in the United States in
spite of an import duty of 81 80 per
pound. At present Florida has the call
on the market, and its crop sells itself.
Florida and Sumatra are unq questionably
the popular tobaccos with manufacture
ers New England wrapper leaf is losing
its pre- eminence. What does this call
for Sumatra and Florida leaf to the ne
glect of New England wrappers, mean?
First, as it leaves the dealers hands,
New England tobacco is not nearly as
uniform in colors, shape or size as either
Florida or Sumatra leaf 1t is sorted
before sweating and never afterwards.
Colors change unequally in the sweat.
The leaf next to the sides of the case
does not sweat in the same degree as
that further in, SO that cigar manufact-
urers often must resweat this outside
leaf and this repetition adds to the cost.
The tobacco is, to be sure, sized accord
ing to length, but anyone who studies
his crop carefully in the field knows that
the width, shape and style of leaf vary
good deal, even when the length is the
same, and comparison of the crops of
different growers emphasizes these diff
ferences. With Sumatra, and also with
Florida leaf, the case is quite different.
These tobaccos are sorted after sweating
and not before. The colors are fixed
then, and there is no resweating to be
done. Here is saving of labor and ex-
pense to the manufacturer The Florida
and, of course the Sumatra leaf. is very
much smaller than our Dcrthern grown
wrappers, and while each may be equal
ly well sorted as to the length, the In
equalities of width and general shape
are very much less in Florida and Suma-
ira than In ours. No trade situation is
permanent, but at present the signs OF
the times distinctly point to demand
for cheap tobacco that is, for leaf which
will make good cigars with little waste,
and demand for large packings which
are perfectly uniform in all respects. 1t
would seem then that our New England
tobacco industry is likely to change and
to go in one of three directions. Either

it will produce leaf OF superior excel
lence for wrapping the best Cuban filler,
or it will become grower of binders
bringing much lower prices than we get
at present, or it will more nearly meet
the present requirement of the cigar
trade and thus maintain itself against
all comers."

raising their prices, it looks as though
hard times were ahead for many of then.
Great difficulties, however, are in the
way of anything like general advance,
for even if the majority of manufacturers
should come to an agreement on any
such step, it is unlikely that he worry
large concerns would follow suit.-Jour-
