WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGKRToN. WIS. July 19, 1907

EDGERTON. WIS. July l9, I9UI
The weather conditions of the week
could scarcely be more desirable for a
satisfactory growth of the tobacco crop,
which is now transplanted to the fields
in all sections. A very comprehensive
summary of the condition of the crop
July 10th is given in the bulletin com
piled by Secretary Fisher, published in
another column.
Very little has occurred in the cured
leaf market to demand attention. A 100
case packing of '06 put up by Henry
Wileman has been sold to A. Wallach of
Chicago. Mr.. N. Gillian of York, Pa,
has picked up carload or so of 'O6 from
first hands during the week at prices be-
low that paid earlier for bundle goods
The shipments out of storage do not
exceed 500 cases from this market to all
points for the week past.

The hurry of the first part of the to-
bacco season is now past. The crop hav
ing been all transplanted, the farmers
have settled down to hoing, but appar-
emily they all mean to do good days
work by the way they skim over the
fields acre by acre. In this vicinity most
of the crop has been hoed the first time,
and some are nearly through with the
second hoeing.
The tobacco crop is coming forward
very fast, and the fields can be seen for
long distances. If the present good
growing weather continues, the tobacco
this season will not be much behind the
crops of other seasons. 1t may be few
days later than usual. | presume that
the Belden brothers will be in the field
topping some time before the month of
July has passed, and there are others
who will be close seconds in the race.
They have tobacco standing about one
foot high, and when it has reached that
stage few days suffice 10 bring it up to
the topping conditional -Cultivator.

NEW YORK. July 13, 1907

The dog days being now on in full
blast the market has resigned itself to
it's lethargic condition. Out of this
peaceful slumber it has been startled
during the week by two incidents, name
ly. first: the vast damage done to certain
portions of the growing New England
crop by violent rain and hail storms, de-
tails of which are given elsewhere, and
second by the action of the government
against the tobacco trust, which brought
about quite a commotion on account of
the drastic aim taken at the. trust As
for business, little is transpiring except
in routine line.
While business is not duller than US
ual at this time of year, metropolitan
cigar factories do not have to hustle
much to fill their orders. Travelling men,
for the most part, are at home or on
their vacations and trade is mostly OF a
routine character. Manufacturers, how
ever, are not complaining on the score of
lack of orders, for in the majority OF fac
tories the stock of raw leaf is SO small

The Agricultural Department has is.
sued its July statement on the condition
of the growing tobacco crop, saying that
the acreage is less this year than that or
last year by about $4,000 acres. The
average condition on July |, 1907, was
81.3, against Sc Z on July |, 1906, and 81 4
on July l, 1905. The Department gives
the preliminary area planted on July lst,
last, as 751, ,718 acres. The acreage and
condition of the principal cigar leaf
states are given as follows: Wisconsin

Transplanting is practically finished.
The weather for the past two weeks has
been very favorable for transplantlng
and the fields look well. Old growers
state that, notwithstanding the fact that
transplanting was later than usual, the
fields as whole are AS we'll advanced as
usual at this time. In some sections the
growers have had trouble with cut
worms and wire worms, but the trouble
has been limited to certain sections. The
acreage is apparently about the same as
last year.--GaZette.

The tobacco crop is coming on finely.
Some planting is yet to be done, but in
the main the setting is over, although
the latter part of this week will be re-
quired to complete the work. We re-
member that in some past seasons a
week later than this date setting has
been done. There is now no lack of
good plants. Remarkable growth has
been attained by tobacco in the fields
the past ten days, and weather condi-
tions have been all that could be de-
sired. Already some farmers have been
twice through their fields with culti-
vators.-Censor.

and the price so high that they are con-
tent to supply regular customers and are
not looking for new business A good
deal of talk of an advance in cigar prices
is heard, but no material results have
transpired of late. That prices will ul-
timately 60 up, however, there is every
reason to believe, as according to pres
ent indications there is no prospect OF
decline in the cost of leaf. A few fac
tories have profited by the famine in
imported cigars and have succeeded in
placing their brands in cafes, clubs,
hotels, etc., from which they were for
merly debarred, but the general effect on
the domestic industry is small.-Journal.

NEW YORK, July 10, 1907.

The destruction done to the crops
throughout the Connecticut Valley by
the storm of Saturday and Sunday are
points of interest with the trade this
week. 1t is estimated that five hundred
acres of tobacco were destroyed, and the
season is too late for successful replant-
ing. The local market presents nothing
of interest. and no great activity is ex-
pected until next month, or even later.
Sumatra.-S Sumatra tobacco of the
new crop continues to lead the market
in matter of sales, and business is re-
ported as continuous on this type, even
though no large transactions are re-
ported. The inscription Friday was the
closing of the spring season. Owing to
slackness in the factories it would not
be surprising if dull season set in, but
this probability is counteracted by the
fact that the stocks in manufacturers
hands are in need of replenishing. Leaf.

LANCASTER. Pa. July 8, 1907.

LANCASTER, IA, July o, Ioot'
The reported sale by AL Mellinger,
tobacco grower in the vicinity of Akron,
of his growing crop of tobacco on the
field has excited much attention among
packers and growers. What all are in
terested in is the price, neither of which
has been learned. The packers have all
along been declaring that there would
be no more buying on the field, at least
not this year, yet here is sale, and the
tobacco is only two or three inches high,
It will prove, doubtless, with this crop,
as with others before it, the person who
wants the tobacco will buy, and one
dealer after another will follow.
The weather, recently, has been good
growing weather, and the plants, most
of them from three to four weeks late in
planting, are beginning to push ahead.
The storm of last Saturday night, cover
ing large area of the northern and
eastern sections of the county, did a
good deal of damage to the tobacco
fields, washing out great many young
plants.
There is practically no old tobacco in
the local market, SO the packers are
looking ahead for business for their 1906
goods. A good many inquiries are being
made for these goods, but the sales have
been so few and small that as yet no
idea can be formed as to the prices the
crop will bring, though it looks as
| though they will equal those of the 1905
| tobacco. 1t has been stated that the
| natural sweated goods are more in favor
than the tobacco bulk sweated.
B.F. Good & Co. report sales of sew
eral hundred cases of 1906 goods.
The cigar trade continues satisfactory
| though it is not booming. Good cigar
| makers are in demand. New Era.
