MIAMIsBURG, O., Jan. 25, 1907

Farmers have been favored during the
past three months with an abundance of
moist weather, thus enabling them to
take down and strip almost continuous
ly. Many have finished stripping, though
it will probably require all of three weeks
yet to complete the work of stripping the
entire crop. 1t has rained nearly every
day for the past three weeks, rivers and
creeks have inundated the low lands,
and the country roads are in deplora-
BILE condition. Nearly all of the packers
have already received a few crops, but
general deliveries will not be inaugur-
ated until some time in February On
account of loss of weight. through rust
and shed burn, the crop OF 1906 is yield
ing less weight per acre than was earlier
anticipated by many, nevertheless the
yield OF trash is correspondingly heavy
and has brought better price than US
ual. Rumors are afloat to the effect that
some parties who contracted in sections
to the northward have found it neces
sary to refuse number Of crops on ac-
count of not being handled in accord
ance with the contract, while in this
vicinity very little complaint is heard.
Farmers are already securing tobacco
seeds for the coming crop of 1907.

e. Q. Munroe; the local representative

Monday at the company's warehouse. A
force of about rs are busily engaged at
this warehouse handling the new crop.
f. M. Dunham, the local REPRESENTATIVE
of TaIssig & Co. of Chicago, has force
of about 80 at work at the company's
warehouse here, and Cusick & Son, rep
resenting Kiser & Boasburg of Buffalo,
has large force at work in their ware
house. A good sized force is engaged at
j. w. Upson's warehouse, and M. Tobin;
who opened his warehouse last week, has
a force busy handling his purchases.
More help is wanted at nearly all the
warehouses. The tobacco received SO
far has been in excellent condition and
bears out the promise at the time of
harvesting that the 1906 crop would
prove to be the best harvested here in
many years. The good prices received
and the success attained in this crop
have greatly improved the conditions
here and next year there will undoubt-
edly be large increase in the acreage.
Many growers who have not grown to-
bacco foe several years are planning on
raising crop next year. Gazette.

v.z, LANCASTER, Pa, Jan. 20, 1907.
liz spite of all that has been said of
friction between the local leaf tobacco
packers ana the growers, trouble grow
ing out Of the asserting of crops, there
has only been one lawsuit this season,
which was reported in those columns
last Friday. 1t was that of George Sang
rey of Conestoga, who sued to recover
$500 damages from the Cincinnati leaf
firm of Haas Brothers. 1t was refused
when delivered at the car at West Will
low, sold tosother parties at reduced fig-
ures, and the suit is to recover the loss
on the SALE. A fortunate individual,
whose tobacco was refused, was Jacob
Eby of Kinzer, who had sold his tobacco
to Amos Hess, and hauled it to Gap to
deliver it. 1t was refused and he started
home with it. On the way David Ora
ham, buyer for a Lancaster firm,
bought it at good price and it was at
once shipped to Lancaster.
Some few sales of crops not previously
contracted for we're reported recently,
but the aggregate is not large. The
prices are fully two cents below the
prices that have been demanded for
weeks past, which appears to indicate
that at least some of the growers want
to get rid of their crops. The packers
believe there will be a still further low
ering of prices as the season advances.
1t is estimated that only about ID per
cent of the 1906 crop remains in the
growers hands.--New Era.

The local market in domestic leaf has
been busy in spots, two-thousand case
deal of Connecticut being reported, and
hand-to mouth business of fair proper
tions being done otherwise. The news
of the week, however, relates to the de-
delivery movement that is taking place
in the country. The farmers, particu-
larly in Ohio, are anxious to deliver, but
most Of the packers are not ready to re-
ceive the crops contracted for early in
the season before the high level of prices
was reached. It is reported that the
farmers, having made one attempt at de-
livery, have announced in many instances
that they will resell the tobacco. This
movement has been giving the packers
ready to handle the deliveries, and they
had depended upon the crops contract
ed early TO pull down the high level OF
prices Much litigation is looked for as
result of this movement In northern
Wisconsin it is reported that the crops
so far delivered nave been subject to
considerable docking, owing to the bad
condition in which it was rendered and
the amount OF injured tobacco found.
This is true in less degree in southern
Wisconsin. In Pennsylvania there has
been more or less trouble OF the same
sort, in spite Of the warming sent out by
the packers early in the season that to-
bacco that does not come up to the
standard viii not be accepted. Com
paratiyely little buying is being done in
the country at large, and both. buyers
and growers are playing waiting game.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGKRToN, WIS, Feb. 8,

Zero weather which has prevailed the
greater portion of the week proved quite
handicap to the receiving of the crop
which is still the principal order of the
day throughout the tobacco sections Of
the state. A good many dealers, how
ever, have braved the rigors of the
weather, put up with discomforts, to
satisfy the urgent demands of growers.
Reports continue to reach us that con-
siderable deductions are demanded in
some localities in receiving crops not up
to contract requirements, leading to the
belief that there was more damage in
the crop than at first suspected. Where
satisfactory agreements cannot be reach
ed, reflections follow. Something like
sixty car loads of bundle leaf have been
received from outside points at this mar
ket during the week. While no effort is
being made to take over the unsold frac-
tion of the crop, an occasional sale is re-
ported.
The market for old leaf has no new
features, yet some movement is all the
time taking place. One dealer reports
his January sales exceeding $4,000,
mainly in small lots on manufacturers
orders.
Warehouse handling is under full
swing at all the packing points and bids
fair to last for some weeks yet.
The shipments out of storage are only
moderate, not exceeding $50 cases for
the week from this market to all points,
aside from few car loads of bundle leaf.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

At the present time there is no move
in the tobacco market. This is not ow-
ing to scarcity in the commodity known
as tobacco. Not that aery large amount
Of the goods still remains in the hands
OF the farmers. Not many lots are left,
although some of them we're among the
largest of the crops grown in this vicin-
ity. Some riding has been done in the
past week and more will be done when
the weather moderates sufficiently to al
low of the goods being shown to advan-
tage. 1t needs warm, moist weather to
have crop Of tobacco show up in good
form. Not even the colors can be fully
seen when the leaf is cold and fuhed up,
as it invariably is at such times.
Our correspondents report as follows:
East Deerfield, Mass: "A little stir ia
tobacco here lately, and number of
sales have been made at 10 to l6c in the
bundle. Only two crops are left unsold
here now, and one of them is being as
sorted by o. Belden & Sons of North
Hatfield; five acres of fine light leaf that
ought to run we'll to light wrappers"
Conway, Mass: II wish / could report
more sales, but cannot. The buyers seem
to be holding off, waiting for the growers
to get sick enough to sell at the buyers
prices. I do not understand why tobac-
co cannot sell at good price when fill
ers are selling for 10c or 11c." Conway:
"We have been having quite cleaning
up OF the tobacco crop here this week
| have TO report the sale of Charles Pr
sons s. Son, acres; Boyden Brothers,
u acres; FL. T. Newhall, Z acres; Gordon
H. Johnson, 3 acres; j. b. Packard, D
acres, the above to Meyer & Mendlesohn.
A. X. Cranson sold acres; w. Bemont,
~ acres; D. Childs, 3 acres, these to
Katz. Nj. Stsarns & Son sold acres to
Katinsky, Adler & Co." North Hatfield,
Mass: Il have to report the sale Of 9400
pounds of tobacco in bundles by John
Slattery to McHugh of Hatfield" Ad-
Olson, CT: Tobacco is moving rather
slowly in Glastonbury. Buyers are
scarce; not many sales. Manning OF
Hilfstown has bought few crops OF 2Oc
and SC, assorted. There seems to be
great demand for poor grades. ."-Culti-

GAYS MILLS, Wis, Jan. 30, 1907.

The past week has been busy one in
this village. Every day our streets have
been crowded with farm teams laden
with tobacco 1t is estimated that at
least $4,000 has been paid out during
the week. McGiffin & Co. received two
car loads, A. Cohn & Co. four car loaps,
Barnard and Wilder a car load, John
Bowen three car loads and Andrew Jen-
son car load, while the local firm re-
ceived number of crops. The banner
crop of the season was delivered by Geo.
T. Atwood of this village on Friday. His
eight acre crop was received by Andrew
Jenson and brought him the neat sum
of S22O7 7.41.-Independent.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

At the farmers meetings being held
IN the tobacco growing districts IN the
interests Of the Society of Equity, grow
ers are urged to cut down the contem-
plated acreage the coming season. The
argument used is the natural sequence
OF the theory of demand and supply
reduce the amount raised and increase
the price. It can be figured out very
nicely on paper that one-half the supply
at double the price will equal the same
profits. But all the tobacco growers in
half dozen cigar states must agree to
the program to make the scheme work
providing always the manufacturing In
dustry must have the product at any
price. The query naturally arises, what
will the tobacco growers of New Eng
land and Pennsylvania be doing to the
acreage if they really thought Wisconsin
farmers would reduce their acreage one
half? The tendency towards monopoly
is not confined to the trusts alone, it
seems. Isn't such proposition 'con.
spiracy in restraint of trade" and viola
ton of the antitrust laws?
~
The Senate Finance committee gave a
hearing Monday, February 4. on the So
called tobacco growers bill permitting
farmers to sell their leaf tobacco without
restriction and without payment of tax.
The bill has already passed the House,
and has been pending in the Senate COM
mit,ee for nearly year. 1t is very
strongly opposed by manufacturers in
all lines on the ground that it will bring
large quantities of raw tobacco into COM
petition with the manufactured article,
which is required to pay tax of six
cents pound. The objections to the
bill were very fully presented to the FL
nance committee last year by John
Landstreet, of the r. A. Patterson To-
bacco Co., and it was then assured that
it would be pigeonholed. Within the
past fortnight, however, the Kentucky
and Tennessee senators have brought
great pressure to bear upon the commit
tee to report the measure favorably, and
have circulated the statement that as
surances of prompt and favorable action
has been given by Senator Aldrich,
chairman of the committee.

New YORK. Feb. 2, 1907

NEW YORK, Feb. Z, 1907.
A normal condition is now prevailing
iD the leaf market No boom and no
slump. A steady business IS reported
and is liable to remain so. True, the
chameleon weather which has character
lied the month of January has retarded
trade in those sections of the country
where traffic was impeded, and even sus-
pended by violent snow storms and ex-
traordinary foods. But from those sec
tions which escaped the disturbing out
bursts Of the elements reports are all to
the effect that the briskness of trade has
not abated one iota from what it was the
past year. and in some instances it is
showing even signs of greater rush.
The leaf market naturally gets it's share
of this uninterrupted activity in the ci-
gar industry. The figures of the cigar
industrys output for the calendar year
1906 and particularly the tremendous in
crease which establishes a new record
will be taken as an encouraging sign for
a steady enlargement, too, of the volume
of leaf business in the current year. An
other reassuring prospect offers the news
published in this issue of the sufficient
rain that has at last come to the Vuelta
Abalo district, assuring thus fair crop
of the most needed of the Cuban tobac-
CO types But reassuring as this news
is to some extent it hardly carries with
it the guarantee of full adequacy of
supply and consequently also of reduc-
ton in price. For as other statistics
published in this issue show the cigar
industry of Cuba has equally doubled
it's output as our own during the same
period, and naturally is absorbing double
the quantity of leaf while there was
tremendous shortage of leaf last year,
and normal crop is not expected this
year either. The stocks therefore held
in first hands are not likely to deterior-
ate in value. But the expectation of
crop at all, and good one at that, may
at least have the effect that Havana will
again begin to move freer than it did
while the fate of the new crop was in
