Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Another week of cold nights and cool
days. Tobacco has not cured very much,
and | am afraid the green leaves viii
materialize at the time of stripping.
Such is the opinion of many of the grow
ers. In conversation one prominent
grower expressed himself in this way:
81 think all the tobacco cut later than
the twelfth to the fifteenth of Septem-
ber will be full of fat stems and frozen
leaves, and | think that tobacco cut as
late as Sept % might as we'll have been
plowed under as to put it in the shed,
thereby saving work when wages were
high"
Our correspondents report as follows:
North Hadley, Mass. "But very little
tobacco has been taken down yet. 1t is
said that buyers are waiting for damp
spell so that they can examine the crop
better, but none have showed up yet.
Late cut tobacco is curing slowly. but
the early cut is ready to take down at
the first damp spell. The crop will yield
about two hundred pounds to the acre
less than last year." North Hadfield,
Mass: "We have had very nice, warm
rain for the last thirty hours and much
early cut tobacco has been taken from
the poles. The amount taken down will
go from IL to four and six acres, or
more in some cases. Everyone is as busy
as they have been since the crop was
started. The weather has been such
that the farmers have much of the fall
work done, so there is nothing to hinder
them giving their undivided time to the
business of stripping tobacco. A lot of
some fifty or more cases of binders be-
longing to the late James Day of Hadley
has been sold to Kutinsky & Adler at
private terms. No sales of new tobacco
have been reported the past week.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. WIS, Nov. 8, 1907.

Weather conditions favorable to the
curing of the hanging tobacco crop
which have now prevailed for nearly
a month past still continue, each day
bringing the crop nearer the cured state.
No freezes heavy enough to penetrate
the sheds have occurred, and very little
injury from this source could now be
done. No movement can be detected
anywhere along the line looking towards
the buying of the crop.
The market for cured leaf lies under a
cloud of unsettled monetary conditions
that do not furnish much encourage
ment. Forced sales under such circum-
stances would mean only losses to pack
ers. Old stock, too, moves but sparingly,
only on urgent needs of manufacturers.
And the local markets are only refec-
ton of trade in eastern centers.
The shipments out of storage reached
most liberal proportions, something like
20 car loads, 1000 cases, having gone for
ward to all points from this market dur
ing the week past.

LEXINGTON, KY, Oct. Is, 1907.
"No crop in 1908" is the slogan of the
Burley Tobacco society of Kentucky.
This sentiment is being agitated by the
organization and meetings are being
held at various places with a view of
securing expressions of opinion. A meet
ing of hundred or more representa-
tives of the Fayette county growers was
held here last week at which the prevail
ing sentiment was against the growing
of crop next year. The method by
which this was obtained was by having
the delegates fill out blanks, which
showed that those present usually grow
1900 acres. Of this amount all but 80
acres we're opposed to growing a crop
next year. Committeeman are out can
vassing the county on the question,
which will probably be decided this
week at meeting of the state board of
control The society has $4,000 hogs
heads of the 1906 crop in their ware
houses pledged. The manufacturers re-
fuse to buy it and the organization peo-
pie see no need of raising further crops
until that on hand is disposed of.
At Mt. Sterling meeting of over three
hundred growers was held on Saturday
and with only one dissenting vote put
themselves on record as favoring the
raising of""no crop in 1908"

Tobacco Mems Demand
LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 30, l!

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 30, 1907.
Extraordinary efforts are being made
by the associations of tobacco growers
and by the American Society of Equity
to induce the tobacco growers Of the
country to pool their unscld crops and
not plant another crop until the tobacco
now on hand is sold. While the associa
tions oppose violence, precautions have
been taken 10 guard tobacco warehouses
against incendiaries. The tobacco barn
of William Green, near Curdsville, was
burned this morning and the tobacco
stored there was destroyed. The ware
houses of John Matthews, near Ovens
boro, are under guard of armed men.
1t is reported that planter, s. G Itch
enor, of Mclean county, has been three
times visited by night riders and notified
that he must pool his tobacco or suffer
the consequences.
To-day an army of 500 men is BENG
mobilized at Livermore. - When the
forces are organized the army will call
upon Massie & Co., tobacco buyers, and
demand that they quit the field. 1t is
planned that the army will march to
Calhoun and call on John Ramsey, who
has bought about $4,000 pounds OF this
years crop, and demand that he quit
buying and that he release growers from
their contracts with him.
Squads of men have been an III vari-
Gus directions through thr tobacco
growing country demanding That grow
ers hold their tobacco.

LANCASTER, PA., Oct ~, l9U7.
The local tobacco market during the
past week was fiat, only one sale Of any
note having been made, 375 cases of 1906
tobacco by William Mclaughlin to Phil
adelphia parties. The price is not given,
but it is supposed to be at the figures
lately prevailing, that is, somewhere be-
tween 20 and % cents on the scale. Not
many inquirers after tobacco were here
during the week, and it is not unlikely
that the furry in financial circles had
something to do with the condition of
the leaf trade. The buyers are Offering
prices too low for the local packers to,
consider, which is another reason why
the market is slow. The packers feel
certain that the market will soon right
itself and prices be adjusted to the value
of the goods in hand.
No sales have been reported of new
tobacco, and there is small likelihood of
this tobacco moving until it is stripped.
Conflicting reports are made Of the man

ers themselves say it is coming along all
right

NEW YORK. Nov. 2, l9t

NEW YORK, NOV Z, lSUf
The leaf market is still affected by the
financial panic which had in its grip,
this, the money center of the United
States. Trading in different types OF
leaf tobacco was done to some extent,
but very cautiously. Transactions on a
large scale were not entertained at all,
and long credits we're refused even on
medium sized orders. In these panicky
times of such severe money stringency
that banks refuse paying out currency
in large sums, the market holds to the
conviction that it is safer to keep the
tobacco than to exchange it for long
time promises to pay. This conviction
has been strengthened by the inordinate
demand for extensions. While some Of
these demands are no doubt legitimate
and have to be granted in order to maifi-s
tain the solvency of the concerns asking
them, others are suspected to take
merely advantage Of the general money
tightness to hoard their own bank ac-
count or to utilize it outside of their
business to earn the extraordinary inter
est now being paid for ready cash. The
market, therefore, seems to prefer rather
less activity than incurring the risk of
over stocking a buyer in a time when
the confidence is so severely shaken.
But this condition cannot last for any
length of time, and when the money
market becomes once again normal trad
ing in the market is sure to make up for
lost time. as the output of our cigar in
dustry is going ahead in spite of the
financial draw back, which can be of but
temporary endurance.
Local cigar factories are still rather
quiet considering the time of year, but
the demand FOR that product is showing
some increase. Normally, the fall boom
should be we'll under way by now, and
orders for holiday goods should be pour
ing into the factories A certain amount
of holiday business is being booked it is
true, but nothing like last fall. In prac-
tically all cases these orders are for reg
ular packings, and it is the general opin-
ion that almost no holiday packings will
be put out this year. Box makers gen
orally report conditions below that of
the corresponding season last year AS
regards prices of cigars the upward
trend continues and individual factories
are from time to time announcing ad-
vances. This especially. applies to the
clear Havana cigar factories which look
for no decrease in the price of the raw
leaf. The seed cigar manufacturers,
however, generally are of the opinion
that leaf prices will decline, and conse-
quietly are buying as little tobacco as
possible. A few nickel brand prices
have been raised, but the largest houses
have made no change-JOurnal

New YORK. Oct. 90, 1907.

There has been more or less business
in almost every type OF domestic tobacco
during the past week. Transactions are
reported in Wisconsin, Connecticut, Zim-
mer Spanish, Gebhardt and Pennsyl-
vania of the 1906 crop. Some of the
Connecticut Broad leaf seconds brought
thirty cents and upward, and the wrap
pers brought from forty-fve cents to
fifty. Only the choice packings brought
these prices, however. The Connecticut
Havana Seed is practically off the mar
ket. A sharp differentiation is observ-
able between the prices for Northern
and Southern Wisconsin. In general, it
is agreed that prices, as regards choice
tobacco, are as high as they were last
year, while the commoner grades are not
in so active demand. While the general
opinion is that the business done since
the beginning Of the year has been much
smaller than that done in the same per
iod of last year, it must be taken into
consideration that when the manufact-
urers came on the market this fall, look
ing for certain grades, they found the
market practically bare Of them. The
greater portion of the Connecticut Ha-
vana Seed crop had been force sweated
and absorbed gradually. According to
some recently made estimates of the 1916
Wisconsin crop, there are in the hands
of the country packers about 70, 600 cases
and about the same amount in the hands
of New York and Philadelphia leaf
houses; in addition to which there are
believed to be about 1000 cases of 1905
Wisconsin on the general market. 1t is
believed that $4,000 cases of the 1906
Wisconsin can be classed as damaged to-
bacco, leaving about $4,000 cases of
sound Wisconsin tobacco on the market.
In view of the well-known fact that the
1907 crop runs largely to filler, and that
consequently these $4,000 cases will nec-
cessarily constitute the largest portion
of the tobacco available for binder pur-
poses between now and October, 1909,
when the 1908 will come on the market,
the holders of Wisconsin profess them
selves to feel perfectly reassured as to
their chances for disposing of it between
now and then.-Leaf.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The Wisconsin delegates from the So
ciety of Equity to the National Tobacco
Growers convention at Shelbyville, KY,
last week report that the trip furnished
meeting they had ever attended. The
convention ia point of attendance was
one of the largest gatherings of growers
ever assembled. Aside from the dele
gates from the various states it is es-
timated that 10000 growers were pres
ent. They found Kentucky badly torn
up by the Equity army of peaceful in
vasion," as it is called, who we're endeav-
oring to force all planters to pool their
tobacco with the society, and many in
stances of violence were reported. The
convention went on record with reso-
luton calling upon the growers of Bur-
ley leaf to refrain from raising crop
this year unless the packings of 1906 and
1907 should be sold before February 1st.
Wisconsin leaf not being in competition
with southern leaf, this state was left to
its own conduct of the matter In fact,
there is no good reason why Wisconsin
growers should fraternalize with their
southern brethren, the types are SO dis
tinct and separate with scarcely no mar
ket connection. The writer also believes
that very few will care to sympathize
with the tactics of the might riders
who prevail so largely in the southern
field.
