VIRoQUA, Wis, Sept. 5, 1907.

The doleful tales of tobacco failure
are quite at an end in this section at
least. The fears for the entire growing
season are rapidly being dissipated by
the events of the past fortnight. Farmers
have taken on more hopeful view of the
matter, and they are warranted in so do
ing. The Censor editor, in hal: days
drive to Avalanche by the old stage
route, returning by way of Seas Branch,
found much better fields of tobacco than
he expected; in fact there are to be seen
on all sides good fields of the weed, with
few if any real bad patches. AS whole
the size approaches an average. Har-
vesting had commenced in small way,
about one farmer in twenty having
shielded small portions of their acreage,
but the work will commence in dead
earnest this week, although there is a
disposition to wait few days longer to
permit larger growth. Perhaps the sec
tion of country traversed by the writer
showed above an average of the county
over. However more hopeful reports
come from all about us.-Censor.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, Sept. 13, 1907.

EDGERToN. WIS. Sept. 13, 1907.
The cool weather of the week has been
helpful to the workmen in the harvest
fields, but the absence of the warm days
so much needed to perfect the tobacco
crop is delaying the ripening and must
eventually prolong the harvest. Several
cold rights when the temperature drop
ped to within few points of freezing
this week have not tended to help the
condition of matters in any respect.
Every hand upon the farm is now being
pressed into service to secure the crop.
Rust has appeared in the fields in some
led to the cutting of some unripe leaf, it
is feared. Probably more than one third
of the crop in the state will be housed
by the close of the present week, but
even with the best of weather conditions
the harvest is likely to be extended be-
yond the usual frost limits of this lati-
tude.
Buyers are riding about the growing
districts freely, watching the progress of
the harvest, but aside from few small
lots that looked particularly attractive,
no contracts are being closed.
The market for old leaf has developed
no news Of Importance. The sales of
few small lots were reported during the
week. Sampling of last seasons pack
ings is proceeding, but few are yet ready
to exhibit them to the trade.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 500 cases from this market to all
points for the week.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4, 1907.

There has been dearth of out Of town
buyers in the market this week, and as
consequence business has been dull in
the extreme. In fact buying has been
on the slightest possible scale. The gen
eral opinion IN the market is that better
things may be looked for very shortly, as
nearly all the prominent houses have
their samples ready for inspection. 1t is
pretty generally reported also that the
samples of Connecticut Broad leaf, Con
necticut Havana Seed and Wisconsin to-
baccos are showing up nicely, but buyers
shy at prices that are demanded. In the
next week or so an influx of western buy
ers is expected.
Sumatra. The dulness of the general
market has extended to this type also.
and no sales of i'm portance are reported.
Havana.-The local market is bare OF
interest. Advices from Havana are to
the effect that gratifying progress is be-
ing made in the work of the escojidas,
and that from now on larger receipts
from the country are expected.-Leat.

Lancaster.
LANCASTER, Pa, Sept. 3, 1907.

LANCASTER, IA, OepC. d, ISUL
Some cutting of the new crop has al
ready been done in Lancaster county,
but it is cutting along rather peculiar
lines in most of the fields, by reason of
the uneven growth. The grower has not
been able to make general cut, but has
had to choose the ripe tobacco and cut
il out from among the unripe. Cutting
will not be general through the county
for ten days or two weeks yet, if the frost
holds off. That is just what troubles
the grower. If the weather was warm
no frost would be feared for two or three
weeks yet, but as we have had a good
deal of cool weather, particularly at
night, and an early frost is not unlikely.
The late rains came just in time, for the
plants were suffering severely from the
drought. Since they have got the much
needed moisture the crop has developed
to surprising extent, and it is now pret-
ty generally conceded that the crop on
the whole will be fair one, over rs per
cent of full crop, at least. Good rains
are again much needed. 1t is evident
now that the acreage in our county is
much larger than was generally suppos-
ed, though it will not reach last years by
good many hundred acres.
Little has been doing lately in the To-
cal market. though the sales that were
made were about 20 cents pound. The
packers think that their goods will go
off fast after the sampling is finished and
are open to inspection. The 1906 tobac-
CO is undoubtedly good packing and
the dealers are pretty sure to get prices
that will leave them fair profit
The cigar industry continues good,
The manufacturers are wondering how
they will get out their orders if the fall
trade gets to booming, for cigar makers
are scarce enough now.-New Era.

New York.
NEW YORK. Sept. 7,

Most of the out Of town buyers having
left, the market has quieted down con-
siderably. The business done during the
past two weeks was quite voluminous
and there was no break in the price
scale. Most of the business done was in
New England leaf and the prices on
that type are lower than they have been
for many a year. Of course, there was
no trading in any of the new filler stock
and new Wisconsin binder But for such
of old binder and filler stock as buyers
had to have, the full value was exacted
and received. Sumatra sold freely to
the Western trade and is selling steadily
seemingly giving satisfaction to every
body who handles it. On the Havana
leaf situation we publish in another
place very instructive interview with
one of the largest American packers of
the Cuban crop. AS his views are borne
out by the stern facts and express but
the absolute truth, any expectation of
getting cheaper Havana may be rele-
gated to the nursery. In fact the pros
poets are that those who buy early will
buy cheapest.
AS the season advances local cigar fac
tories are beginning to wake up some
what The fall season, of course, has
not yet begun, but the general increase
in business usually noticeable at this
season is setting in. Owing to the holi-
day, the aggregate output for the week,
of course, was somewhat curtailed, but
otherwise it is a buster one than it's
predecessors. AS whole, cigar manu-
facturers have little to complain of. as
far as demand is concerned August, it
is true, was not particularly good
month, but there are bound to be one
or two dull months in every year. The
raw material situation remains un-
changed, but there are still no signs of
an advance in cigar prices. However,
as the price of imported cigars has been
raised, domestic manufacturers may per-
haps take courage to follow the example.

Connecuicut Valley Tobacco Market.

Very little has transpired during the
past week in the tobacco line except the
harvesting that is going on in all parts
of the valley. In this locality quite
number of the growers are through with
the harvest and it is the claim of all Of
them that they have harvested good,
fair-sized crop, and all think it will cure
all right.
Our Correspondents report as follows;
Suffield. Ct: Tobacco cutting is at its
height and few crops are already in
the sheds. The recent rains have been
of advantage to the late-set tobacco"
Hatfield, Mass: Tobacco crop is mostly
harvested. The early hung crops are
bright of color, with fine, silky leaf.
Sampling few 1906 crops held by grow
ers has shown fine samples, with no
damaged cases." East Deerfeld, Mass:
Tobacco cutting will begin here Sept. 2.
Some crops are Injured by the dry
weather. but there are some very nice
pieces, one or two better even than last
years crop. If frost holds off until the
fifteenth we shall harvest fine crop
generally" North Hadfield, Mass: "To-
day we are having nice little rain that
will help the late tobacco some, pro-
vided the rain shall be followed by good,
warm, growing weather. We need more
rain than we have now to make tobacco,
or any other crop grow as we would like
to see it grow. Onions seem to be the
banner crop this year. The Belden
Bros. have sold fifteen carloads at the
price of So per 100 pounds of seed onions,
so have been informed. Our freight
yard is being used constantly by cars re-
ceiving the crop of onions. Tobacco
cutting is now we'll along in this Sec
ton" ."-Cultvator

Baldwinsville, N. Y.

The recent rains have been of great
benefit to the late tobacco. The earlier
set crops are ripening fast and many of
them are ready for cutting. Some crops
are already in the sheds and other crops
which have reached maturity will be
harvested at the first favorable weather.

The Society of Equity has fixed 81 25
as the selling price for wheat and it is
expected that everybody except the Con-
sumer will get behind and help push the
price up to that point. The tobacco
growing members of the order are to
meet in October to name the price OF
the present crop.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1907-09-13

No news is watched for more eagerly
than the first buying of the new tobacco
crop, as the opening sales generally 60 a
long way toward fixing the market price
forathe crop. The Reporter has always
been in position to give such news
promptly and accurately and for that
reason has become almost indispensable
to people who care to know what ls
going on in the tobacco districts of this
state. Rumors of buying often get
ahead of the actual facts and travel fast.
Frequently you can hear in one locality
what has transpired over in another
county sofar away that the real facts
cannot be verified. Such rumors of the
movement of the tobacco crop have been
spread that have very little foundation
in fact Whenever any organized effort
is made to contract for the present crop
our readers can rest assured the news
will be duly chronicled in this paper.
Until that time, do not place too much
confidence in any reports of that nature
you may hear. Besides, the Society Of
Equity has called convention to fix the
selling price of the crop, on October 9Th.
Wait.
