LANCASTER, PA, Dec. 10, 1907
Ii there is any business doing in the
leaf tobacco market of Lancaster it is
being transacted SO quietly that the
trade at large has not caught on to it..
In short, there has been nothing doing" :"
the usual reply the packers have been
making to quiries for news for some
weeks past. And none of them expect
any business until the new year opens
The cigar manufacturers have been
working on orders for Christmas goods,
bat these are all filled now, and they
must now depend on general trade,
which is not brisk, by long odds. The
packers believe that the manufacturers
have about used up for their Christmas
trade the leaf they had on hand, and
will begin buying more briskly after the
HOLIDAYS. 1t is TO be hoped the condi-
tloD of trade will cause their hopes to be
realized, but as a matter of fact good
many manufacturers, the larger ones in
particular, have larger stocks of cigars
on hand now than they can get rid of
soon. These piled up because of the
wish of the manufacturers to keep their
hands together, so they kept them at
work more steadily than there was any
necessity for doing, aside from the rea-
son given. The little leaf sold lately has
gone off at the prices which have pre-
vailed all along, and in spite of the dull
ness of trade there is no sign OF break
in prices.
Very little stripping of the new crop
has been done. Most of the farmers
have been pushed with general farm
work. and then, too. not much tobacco |
is ready for stripping yet. New Era.

NEW YORK. Dec. IA, 1907.


Activity has almost completely stopped
in the leaf market and it's resumption is
hardly expected any more during the
few remaining weeks of the year. But
while the wheels OF business have
stopped, the panicky feeling OF the
money stringency has also subsided. The
strain of bridging over ''lame ducks" has
let up and collections have become
easier. During the many weeks OF the
financial crisis the trade has certainly
clung together with truly brotherly de-
votion and helpfulness and their mutual
support will compose one of the most
glorious chapters in the history OF the
trade. Easier times may be expected in
tine new year, but the market should be
prepared to meet a more conservative
demand with more reasonable voices.
The situation in the local cigar manu-
featuring industry is about as satisfac-
tory as could be expected. There is not
much activity at the factories, it is true
but at this time of year orders are never
plentiful, for the reason that jobbers and
retailers have already laid In their holi-
day supplies and it is rather early to be-
gin ordering for delivery after the begin,
ming of che year The fnaMciaf sitpas
ton, however, has somewhat improved
and thus manufacturers are relieved in
measure of the most serious of their
difficulties. At the same time, while
things are better than they were, the air
is not entirely clear, and there is reason
to believe that more than one house is
in shaky condition. However, as there
have been no actual failures of impor-
tance, the industry has come through it's
worst hour of trouble pretty we'll, and
there is good reason to hope that after
the new year fair degree of prosperity
will prevail. Stocks in the hands of job
bers end retailers are not likely to be as
heavy as in normal years, so that the
January period of dullnese should be less
pronounced than usual. journal

about having their crops assorted in this

The testimony being brought out in
the governments suit against the tobac-
co trust, which is slowly dragging along
in New York, shows that the American
Co. was the victim Of the sand bagging
and hold up game at almost every turn
of its early existence. All shrewd in
dividual had to do was to capitalize q
tobacco concern for big money, make a
bluff of being busy to impress the octo-
pus that it ought to be absorbed, always
with profit to the originator Of the
scheme.
