possible movement of the 1905 crop, and
but little of that. Meyer & Mendelshon
have finished sampling their packing at
this place, believe about 1000 or 100
cases. This tobacco, as | was informed
by their agent. Mr.. Swift of Hartford,
Ct, has been sold, the poorer grades
having been shipped some time ago.

"Considering the cold weather we have
had, our tobacco beds are, on the whole,
doing we'll. There are few extra nice
beds that will be ready to be set from in
ten days owned by Belden Brothers,
Charles w. Marsh, w. H. Landon and
John Brennan. The locations of these
beds are extra for early plants" Con-
way, Mass: ''The tobacco plants are
coming on finely, and bid fair to be ready
as soon as it will be advisable to trans
plant them. Some of the best are as
large as twenty-five cent piece. No
new barns are going up here this year"

The United Cigar Manufacturers Co.

Some information is given the pub 3
concerning the United Cigar ManufauG-
urers Co. by the prospectus issued by
the bankers who have undertaken to
finance the reorganized concern. The
bankers are inviting subscriptions at 9715
to the guaranteed per cent cumulative
preferred stock Of the company. The
total amount of this stock is S., ,000,000and
S4,500,000 is now being issued, large
part Of which has already been sold at
private sale. The company is the sue
cessor of the United Cigar Manufacture
ers, which we're a consolidation of Kerbs,
Wertheim & Schiller, Hirshorn, Mack &c
Co., and the Stratton & Storm Company,
all among the largest manufacturers of
domestic cigars in the country. The an
nual output of the company is about
400,000,000 cigars and its total annual
sales are valued al about Sl2000000 It
operates nineteen factories iD New York
City, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Be-
tween 1902 and 1904 the net earnings Of
the United Cigar Manufacturers in
creased from S781, ,l64 to S1,373, ,334 Last
year they were S1,262, ,787. Thus, the
company is now earning more than three
times the amount required to pay divi-
dends upon the preferred stock The
subscription books for the preferred
stock were opened by the bankers on
May 10. Application will be made in
due time to list the stock on the New
York Stock Exchange.

New York.
NEW YORK, Nav 12, 1906.

The market is beginning to show signs
of the approach of the dull season.
Nothing doing" seems to be the parole.
The big factories are stocked up, while
the smaller ones continue growing at
both the scarcity of leaf and it's high
price. Force -sweated tobaccos of all
kinds grades and descriptions are being
peddled out to those who are in need of
some kind of tobacco. In the mean
while higher and higher prices are being
paid for the Sumatra at each successive
inscription, while the holders of Havana
leaf are laying low with their stock, rea-
sonably sure that their inning will come
two Or three months hence.
The majority of local manufacturers
report some improvement in business in
the course of the past week or SO. De-
mand, they say, now is fair, and possibly
above the average for the season. Less
talk is now heard about the non-fulfill-
ment of sanguine expectations and man
ufacturers appear to have resigned them
selves to the failure Of the predicted
boom. On the whole, the local industry
is fairly busy, though customers need
have no fear that any large orders will
be turned down Or unduly delayed. The
scarcity Of raw material, though as real
as ever, seems to occupy the minds of
the manufacturers rather less than a few
months ago. Most of the larger ones de-
clare that they are we'll supplied with
leaf for long time to come, while the
smaller houses apparently have recog-
nized that it is useless to complain and
the only thing to do is to struggle along
as best they can and trust to luck. No
general changes in prices have been
made, and the probabilities of an ad-
vance on familiar brands IS remote

More or less activity is reported in
Wisconsin. Some important deals in
1905 Pennsylvania Broad leaf, on pack
ers samples "as they are," have taken
place. The stock in Lancaster will soon
be cleaned out. Otherwise transactions
were few and unimportant. Scarcity of
all serviceab bic old stocks is the cause.
Sumatra.-T week has seen more
sales and the transfer of larger quan-
tity of stock than any other week since
the season opened. There seems to be
greater freedom in buying, due probably
to an acceptance of the present level of
prices as permanent.

thought. Leaf.

The ground in this locality is fully as
dry as it should be for the benefit of the
tobacco beds, although the light showers
of the past day or two have improved

The receipts of 1905 thinner from
farmers have now dwindled to occasional
deliveries of crop or two: but buyers
are still searching for stray lots and will
doubtless soon have them rounded up.
Filters and loose leaves have also nearly
all been bought out of packers hands.
Farmers report the plaht beds looking

showing four leaves. Flowing is pro-
crossing rapidly under favorable condi-
tions. Growing fields of wheat and oats
are looking fine.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The 8th annual meeting of the Nation
al Cigar Leaf Tobacco Association, held
at Dayton, Ohio, last week, was quite
we'll attended by representative of the
leading markets of the country. The
present officers were reelected, consist
ing of A. Blur of New York, president;
Louis Newburgh of Cincinnati, vice
president; Chas. Fox of New York, Sec
retary, and Felix Eckerson of Philadel-
phla, treasurer. Rules governing the
sampling of tobacco and also rules gov
erning the sale of leaf tobacco were
passed. A motion was made and passed
to continue the services Of the associa-
tion's Washington representative as here
tofore; to extend congratulations to J. J.
Jenkins and his colleagues in the House
of Representatives on the judiciary COM
mittee for their efforts regarding the
bankruptcy law. The association took
action toward bringing about meeting
with the Central Traffic Association of
CGlcago Tor the purpose or haVlng lear
tobacco in car load lots reduced from 4th
to- 9th class, and in less than car load
lots to 4th class. It was decided to ac-
cept an invitation extended by the New
York Leaf Tobacco Board Of Trade to
hold the next convention in that city.
Niagara Falls, N. Y, and Jamestown,
Va, also sent invitations. A motion was
m ade to send the written thanks of the
association to the Attorney General of
the United States for his intercession in
the interests of the association against
corporations. The convention wound UP
by an elaborate banquet at the Algon-
quin hotel, which was largely attended
and proved highly enjoyable affair.

Wisconsin Tobacco Growers, Attention!

There is no just cause why prices for
Wisconsin cigar leaf tobacco should not
continue to advance, or why prices
should ever fall below tho present mark.
Unless the growers themselves take the
necessary steps to maintain good prices,
there is no power that will prevent fall
in price if production increases to any
extent. 1t will take prompt, decisive
action on the part of Wisconsin tobacco
growers to ward off drop in prices, es-
pecially if the crop of 1906 exceeds that
of 1905.
Mr.. G.. Hayes Taylor, secretary of the
National Tobacco Growers Association,
will attend the state meeting of the A.
S. of E.. to be held in Baraboo May 22d
and 23d, and will address the meeting on
cooperative selling Of tobacco. Every
pound of Wisconsin tobacco can be sold
for present prices, or even higher if it is
sold comparatively or the plan adopted
by the dark tobacco growers of Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Virginia. Mr..
Taylor will explain this plan in detail,
and will bring facts, figures and argu-
ment to prove beyond all doubt that
Wisconsin tobacco growers can sell as
many pounds at fair price as they can
sell at any price, and that the largest
profits can be secured only through reg
ulated production and controlled mar
keting. He will also show how con-
trolled marketing will automatically
regulate production, and il farmers sell
CO. o-operatively they will always know
how much to produce to obtain the most
profit. All tobacco growers are urged to
attend the meeting and all locals in the
tobacco districts should not fail to send
delegates. S. D. KUMP, State Secy.
