Ct.: Our farmers have had two more

LANCASTER, PA, Nov. 6, 1906.
1t is estimated that nearly 70 per cent.
of the new tobacco crop has been sold,
though there is no scramble for it. 1t
has been going off quietly and steadily
in spite of the efforts made by many of
the packers to discourage buying, with a
view to bringing down prices. The early
buying started at II cents a pound
through, finally settling down about the
prices now being paid, IA to 16 cents
pound for wrappers and four and cents
for filters, about an average of 10 cents
through. At the present steady rate of
buying the crop will soon be entirely
contracted for.
Transactions in old tobacco, the past
week, were confined to sales of small
lots and the aggregate was not large.
B. f. Good sold during the past few
weeks 543 boxes for himself and others.
1t is believed that not more than $4,000
cases remain in the hands of packers and
spectators, the former being credited
with about 10000 cases. The prices are
the same as have prevailed for two or
three months past, l8 to q cents a pound.
Cigar manufacturers continue to re-
port brisk trade, with heavy western or
ders, and mostly for the better grades Of
goods. Cigarmakers are badly wanted,
the supply being far behind the demand,

oopn.et,crt valley Tobacco Market.

Sin ce my last report there has been
very little taking down of the remainder
of the crop: the weather has been some
thing ugly for handling tobacco. Very
few of the farmers have finished taking
down all of their crop. Those who have
finished stand around like lot OF old
hens on cold day, first on one foot and
then on the other foot. saying: 1--WE
might as we'll go somewhere; there will
be no buyers along this weather" Those
who have sold and still have some yet on
the poles are as uneasy as a fish out of
water, waiting TO get down their crops
so they can make delivery.
These men try TO look as unconcerned
as though they had not raised tobacco
this year, but if one listens to their ex-
pressions which they let fall once in
while one would discover that their
minds are somewhat disturbed, and, as
we know them all, we know what the
real trouble is. There is a certain dis
position which hate to see, and | hope
that it will not result in their accepting
the first offer to be made by the buyer
when he once puts in an appearance.

Scrap Firms Merge.

The Day & Night Tobacco Co. have
re-incorporated, with capital stock Of
100000. The new organization is
merger of all the scrap factories located
in Cincinnati, including the Day & Night
Tobacco Co., making Day & Night; the
Queen City Tobacco Co.. making the
Red Devil; A. Duwel & Bros, making
Red Horse, and the Schroer Tobacco Co.,
making Sea Lion. Together the output
of these factories will probably amount
to forty thousand pounds daily, without
doubt the largest output anywhere of
this style of goods.
The principal reason assigned for the
move is that it will concentrate the
forces of the independent scrap manu-
facturers against the American Tobacco
Co. and remove the competition for cigar
cuttings between the several indepen-
dent factories. The merger will also
materially decrease operating expenses,
and by che first of the year all the plants
will be consolidated under one roof.
The new concern will start operations
in January iE great new factory in
Cincinnati 1t will manufacture all the
brands now being manufactured by tho
individual companies and will preserve
their identity. 1t is estimated that its
output will be close to 10000 pounds a
day As the constituent concerns are
among the largest independent pro
ducers of scrap tobacco, and consequent
ly the largest consumers of cuttings, it
is obvious that the merger will mater
tally affect the cuttings situation. AS
previously told the scrap war has been
resumed, and the trust is now offering
22 cents pound for cuttings with the
object, the independent manufacturers
believe, of cornering the market and
driving them out of business. The new
combination, however, will be a much
more formidable competitor than the
constituent concerns operating separate
ly, and will be able to exert a much
greater influence on the purveyors of
cuttings, so the result may be that the
trust will abandon it's campaign.

PRINT paper, the kind you hold in
your hands as you read this, has taken
another Jump of twenty five cents per
hundred pounds. This will make the
price of print seventy five cents per hun
dred higher than it was eight months
ago In war times the publishers of

raised their subscription prices to meet
the increased cost of everything affected
by the great struggle. We don't know
whether paper making cost more then
than now, but as long as the manufac
turers say the present price is not the
result of com bination the reason thereof
may be philosophically stated as due to
increase in wood pulp. This raise in
paper likewise affects the merchants for
everything in the nature of wrapping
paper has taken jump.

ACCIDENTAL deaths were responsible
for 81 of the 325 death claims, aggregat
ing 1866 1920 insurance, which were al
lowed by the board of directors of the
Modern Woodmen of America at the Oc-
tober meeting. Consumption was second
with 40 victims. Usually accidental
deaths occupy second place, and it is
shown by the statistics that deaths from
accidental cause have, for the past ten
years, ranked second each year in impo~
sition of losses upon the society.

An Ohio packer reviewing the market
situation draws few conclusions that
are worthy of notice. No harm can be
done the growing interests by publish
ing pessimistic views after the crop is
practically disposed Of Here is what
he says: I am perfectly aware of the
conditions that rule a speculative mar
ket. [ do not think that prices will drop
to low average in our leaf tobacco pro-
ducing states until there shall be for
sale the majority of two crops laying in
the farmers and packers hands. There
is great deal of money in the tobacco
business today. A great deal has been
made, but we should not lose our heads.
We all agree that the great stimulus of
production brought about by these high
prices will ultimately make an over pro-
duction with attending low prices When
will that time come? Can any one fig
ure to a certainty? True consumption
is increasing every year, and We need
more tobacco than we used to and per-
haps Europe stands ready to relieve as
of a surplus when that surplus arrives
but not at these prices. The Cuban sit
uation is fierce, no use trying to deny it,
but just what effect this may have on
our domestic product, [ am unprepared
to say. Now, there are some questions L
cannot answer in my own mind. Why
is Sumatra so high? Why is Florida so
high? Why is Connecticut wrapper to-
bacco lower than usual, and Wisconsin
from to s cents per pound higher than
usual? Is the export trade taking any
of our cigar leaf tobaccos today? Are
the large manufacturers Gearing a
squeeze) keeping on hand stock of
filters and binders so that they can ag-
ure safe from one to three years ID the
future? The packer of leaf tobacco has
been making money, indeed | am afraid
some of them have made so much that
they are getting neymad. History
will repeat itself. The present high
prices in the field mean about 100000
increase to be paid to the farmers ID
each of the states of Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Wisconsin. Who is to pay this
Sc 100000 increase, the consumer, the
man ufacturer or the dealer? Will the
large number of country spectators
who buy tobacco every year expecting to
turn their contracts to large packers
at receiving time be able TO dispose OF
them this year? Will the country banks
who loan large amounts on small mar
gins to small packers, be anxious TO take
the risk this year at these speculative
prices? Somebody will get caught, pos
sibly not on this crop, but certainly some
time.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1906-11-16

1t is sometimes interesting to note
how outsiders view the market situation
in this state. One writer in the Phila-
delphia Tobacco World has this to say:
Prices lately prevailing in the field in
Wisconsin will compel packers to secure
a staggering figure, if they are to receive
a fair profit on their investment. For
several years considerable quantities of
Wisconsin tobacco found it's way to ex-
port markets, but the high figures for
the past year or two practically removed
the possibility of expectation, because it
is beyond the reach of the foreign buy
ers Even low grade Wisconsin now
sells at figures which few years ago
would have been regarded with favor for
the sound and choice goods. Farmers
are jubilant, but many of the more con-
servative handlers, while looking on in
amazement, are not buying just now.
Others again, are driving hard, and in a
thoroughly optimistic manner, are buy
ing more or less freely Notwithstanding
the price. OF course, it is splendid
crop, and practically free from all dam
age. That, also, no doubt has some
thing to do with the packers willingness
to pay such prices as it has been bring
ing. These high prices will undoubted-
ly be as much an incentive for farmers
to grow more tobacco in Wisconsin next
year, as it is the case in Pennsylvania.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1906-11-16

The dynamite method for avenging a
fancied wrong is hardly 10 be commend
ed, hence there will be but few who will
sympathize with the lawless element of
the Tennessee and Kentucky tobacco
growing districts, where within short
time three warehouses of the American
Snuff company have been wrecked by
this explosive It is in this locality that
growers who sell to the trust are served
with warning messages to desist under
penalty of visit from tae might riders"
who attempt to terrorize the community.
Offensive as the trust may be to some
people, there ought to be other ways to
right wrongs without adopting the Rus
sian system in this country.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The 5000 in prizes hung up for the
best types of w sconsin tobacco by the
Growers and Dealers association st the
annual meeting next month is an incen-
tive that ought to bring out spirited
contest. Besides the money offered, the
reputation of being prize winner is
worth much to the grower in the future
sale of his tobacco. To be known as a
careful handler and good grower of to-
bacco is an asset worth cultivating. 1t
is the progressive men whom the asso-
citation desires to encourage. Growers
who expect to take part in the competi-
ton, and there are hundreds of them
eligible, should see to it that their sam
pies are taken down at the next casing
weather and carefully preserved for the
convention week.
