voting much space to the matter, has
not yet been the vehicle Of any practical
suggestions which promise a restoration
of the commanding position which New
England tobacco has seemingly lost in
the domestic cigar wrapper leaf market.
The New England Homestead has inter
viewed prominent growers and packers,
whose advice in nutshell is to grow
better, finer tobacco and trust to the law
of supply and demand for profitable
market. This advice is on a par with
that offered by DIR. E. Ell. Jenkins, Of the
Connecticut experiment station, before
the Massachusetts, board of agriculture
at Springfield last December. At that
time DR.. Jenkins statements aroused a
storm of indignation among the growers.
A few growers look to the revival of the
ehade-grown industry in the Connect
cut valley to solve the problem. While
there is every reason to believe that the
raising of tobacco under cloth is being
successfully worked out in the valley,
the shade grown proposition is beyond
the average grower because of the ex-
pense involved, and should the future
determine that southern competition can
be met only through tent-grown leaf the
New England industry must ultimately
pass into the hands of comparatively
few men with practically unlimited cap

NEW YORK, May %, 1907

In domestic goods the week has been
very quiet. This is due to number of
causes, one of which is probably lull
in the manufacturing end of the bust
ness, and another Is the fact that stocks
are not nearly so large as they have
been. The weather conditions have been
most unfavorable for the starting of the
new crop, and in all the cigar leaf grow
ing sections of the country the back
wardness of the season is being deplored.
Florida tobaccos of the darker grades
are now being offered more freely than
for months past, and several lots have
recently changed hands at prices below
those which prevailed a few months ago.
Florida, like every other tobacco grow
ing state, produces good, bad and in
different tobaccos and the manufactur-
ers who bought the latter grades are
having an unpleasant moment with the
buyers of their cigars. In other words,
their cigars are coming back ard they
are now turning their attention to Su-
matra.
Sumatra.-The movement of the new
Sumatra continues, and while there have
been no very large transactions reported
yet, the life of the market consists in
what sales are being made in this type.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. Wis, MAY 81, l9OT


Another week of cold weather when
temperatures dropped below the freezing
point nearly every night does not tend
to put a cheerful aspect upon the pros
poets for the coming tobacco crop. The
plant beds are making some progress, it
is true, probably doing better than grow
ers have reasons to expect under the
conditions. They have certainly been
toughened by such adverse conditions
that it only needs few days of warm
sun to bring them forward at an amaz-
ing pace. The more forward beds have
plenty of size and even the late ones are
covered with an abundance of plants
which under favorable conditions might
be in readiness for the fields by June 20.
The situation as we view it is that there
is more reason to fear that growers will
be so behind with other farm work that
they will not have their fields in readi-
ness by the usual planting date than
they will be waiting for plants.
A little struggling business is yet being
done in warehouse handling of last sea-
sons crop, two houses having closed in
the market during the week. There is
no buying to speak of of the 'O6 crop and
in cured leaf the local markets have no
new developments.
The shipments out of storage reach
about $50 cases from this market to all
points for the week.

eW York.
NEW YORK, Nav 25, 1907.

The market was cheered by the news
of heavy rains in all the tobacco prov
inces of Cuba. This news means that
the Vuelta and Partido crops will now
soon be in the market. And there will
be rush for them, too, as there is no
other type of leaf so scarce as factory
vegas. 1t mears also that very good
and aromatic crop has been saved in the
nick of time for the needs of our clear
Havana cigar industry. OF course, it
will take some time before the result of
this cheerful news will be reflected in
our local Havana market. In seed leaf
market conditions continue to be what
looks like a combat of endurance be-
tween buyers and sellers. Manufactur-
ers seem still to pin their faith in like
ly break of prices, while the market is
just as stubbornly convinced that no
such break will occur. For it is claimed
that there is not enough old stock in the
market to make it worth while to sell it
at sacrifice and also that manufactur.
ers are gradually coming back to the
market to replenish supply and those
who do so are paying prevalent market
rates. In fact, several hundred cases of
filler and binder stock were sold this
week In bulk to manufacturers who but
two weeks ago pretended that they had
enough stock on hand to last them to
fall. But there is one type of leaf that
is enjoying unbroken activity, and thaG
is Sumatra. Trading in it is steady and
brisk. The later inscriptions have
brought forth good, substantial leaf,
and the rise of prices seems to have been
arrested, too.
The situation in the local cigar manu-
featuring industry remains unchanged,
and far from satisfactory at that. =

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

Coming on through some of the most
adverse weather conditions that it is
possible to imagine, the plant beds at
the present writing are looking much
better than growers have any reason to
expect. Up to the last week in May
there has scarcely been night in the
month when frosts have not occurred.
Tobacco is generally considered tender
plant and yet when anything like ordi-
nary care has been given in protecting
the beds, but little injury has been done
the plants in the southern sections from
this source. The older growers can
scarce recall a season of more discourag
ing weather conditions but the showing
at present is not entirely hopeless by any
means. While generally speaking the
plants are small and late, there are
plenty of growers who can show plants
bearing four leaves or more, while a
week or ten days of warm sun will put
them in size for the fields and that will
be as early as the fields will be prepared
for them. There is more reason to fear
that growers will not have their fields
prepared for transplanting by the usual
date than that they will have to wait for
plants.

Since our last letter conditions have
improved to quite an extent. We have
had nice warm rain. The thermome-
ter has risen to above 70 degrees, and at
times it is really good growing weather.
Vegetation has responded promptly to
the call for future harvest. Grass has
dou bled in three or four days, and to-
bacco plants seem bound not to be out.
done. Tobacco plants are now coming
forward very fast, and persons who
thought that the first Of June would be
early, now think by May 25 the! may
have plants ready to begin setting. But
the time may be prolonged day or two,
unless the weather should again become
warm. Much now depends upon the
temperature, as the recent rains have
brought the land into fine condition. A
little more rain would not come amiss,
for the ground had become quite dry;
but we can stand it now for short time
without more rain.
Our correspondents report as follows:
Hatfield, Mass: Tobacco plants are
coming forward at fast pace. Many
growers will begin setting the first of
next week. Charles L. Warner set four
acres May 1916" Bradstreet, Mass:
20. Belden q Sons set the past week AZ
acres of tobacco. Charles w. Marsh set
some two or more acres; these beds we're

LANCASTER, Pa, May 81, 1907.
The prospects for the crop ahead are,
not encouraging, and all on account of
the cold weather. The plant beds are
in very backward state, and it is hard
ly likely that there will be much plant
ing around the first of June, the time
when planting should be in full swing.
The later the plants are put in the
nearer the tobacco will get to the frost
line before being cut, and it is the dan
ger OF an early nip" that often scares
the grower into cutting his crop before
it is properly ripened. All kinds of farm
work is late this spring, and the farmers
will not be able to give the tobacco their
exclusive attention at time when it
should have every care.
The cigar trade continues fair with
out evincing any symptoms of a change,
either for betterment or depression.

L
breaking the greatest drouth this island
has ever experienced. Estimates that
the 1907 tobacco crop will fall nearly
125.OOO bales short of the normal crop
produced there. Manufacturers have
little hope, therefore, for anything but
high prices for imported Havana leaf
the coming year at least. Under such
conditions a good article of domestic
"B's'' ought to be good property to own.
fxT
Official statistics and data gathered
by the United States Tobacco Journal
show that, Notwithstanding the enact
ment of plenary anti-cigarette laws by
some state legislatures, the use of cigar
cites is continually increasing, the year
1905 being record year in the industry.
The increase in the sale of cigarettes for
the last twelve months reached the
enormous figures of 951 100000. There
also was an increase in 1906 of nearly
100000 pounds in the import of Tur-
kish tobacco From Cuba were export
ed last year 15643000 packages of cigar
cites, an increase of 100000 over 1905.
The United States Tobacco Journal says
that the states where anti-cigarette laws
are in force, these laws frequently serve
to bring all such restrictive measures
into contempt, particularly the really
useful ones, prohibiting juvenile smok
ing, etc. In one instance, indeed, advan
tage was taken of an anti cigarette cru
sade to actually promote the sale of the
article. 1.-THE usual wild statements
about cigarettes containing all kinds of
poisons having been circulated, says
the United States Tobacco Journal, ''one
of the largest manufacturers in the
country caused his principal brand TO be
analyzed by responsible medical bodies,
who rendered the usual verdict that the
cigarettes were entirely free from for
eign deleterious matter. The result of
these analyses were gathered together
by the manufacturer, and together with
other authentic matter favorable TO ci
garettes in general, printed in pamphlet
form and widely circulated throughout
the country, with the consequence that
popular prejudice against the article was
considera bly, abated." Even in Pennsyl-
vania, with its great tobacco industry,
an anti cigarette bill has been presented
to the Legislature. It virtually prohibits
the sale of cigarettes, and also of cigar
cite paper or wrappers. The penalty is
fixed at not less than S25 nor more than
500 for each offense. The bill does not
include the jobbers doing an interstate
business.

New England tobacco growers are now
thoroughly awake to the fact that they
are confronted by an acute situation.
The hue and cry against buyers has
given way to serious consideration OF
whether New England leaf is deteriorat
ing, and even though it is not whether
it is possible to compete with Florida

Litigation has reached the courts of
Milwaukee to determine whether little
cigars are to be legally considered as
cigarettes and come under the ban of
the law that prohibits the sale in this

that he is puzzled on this question and

tions will not be brought until the high
