WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERroN, WIS, Aug. l6, 1907

GDGhhTON, w 1S., aug. lO. 1Out.
The weather of the week has in no
manner helped the prospects of the
growing crop which stands greatly in
need of rains. The pinching effects of
the drouth are showing everywhere, both
in the early and later fields, and relief
must come soon if the harvest is to yield
anything like former years. Topping is
now we'll under way in the most forward
fields, but there is large percentage of
the crop that has long ways to grow
yet. Although the situation is not one
that inspires much confidence, yet late
fall will help some.
The cured leaf market has developed
no news of Importance A single sale of
an S0cs lot of '05 by e. M. Hubbell is the
only transaction reaching us. Sampl-
ing of the '06 has commenced in limit
ed way and the result is generally salts

encountered.
The shipments out of storage do not
exceed 600 cases from this market to all
points for the week.

done. The report says that Agawam
and Feeding Hills felt the storm in it's
fullest force where the hailstones were
the largest and the wind the strongest,
a combination that completely shredded
the tobacco plants, ruined orchards,
broke windows, and cut off nearly all
telephone and power communications.
At Feeding Hills the heaviest loser was
Edmond III. Smith, and many acres will
have to be plowed in. Mr.. Smith had
lao acres Of tobacco at Feeding Hills,
and it was all practically destroyed. At
Southwick the full force of the storm
had not gathered over this town, but
the loss from hail was very great, and it
is estimated that 325 acres were badly
damaged. The storm was not accom-
ranied by the high wind that visited
Agawam and Feeding Hills, but the to-
bacco damage is estimated at as high as
$4,000. which is heavy loss to those
farmers who are engaged in tobacco
growing. The damage was not all on
tobacco, but gardens and all field crops
were to great extent injured

Lancaster.
LANCASTER, Pa, Aus

LANCASTER, Pa, Aug. 6, 1907.
A good deal of speculation is being in
dulged in just at present over the grow
ing tobacco crop of Lancaster county.
Just what part of full crop will be cut
is beyond man to tell, for nobody knows
the kind of weather we are to have the
rest of August. Wsrm days and nights
would perfect tobacco now very back
ward, but even then much would be cut
that would hardly repay the grower for
his seasons toll. If the rest of this
month should bring weather unfavorable
for growing tobacco, then the crop would
be very much shorter. All anybody can
with certainty predict is that the crop
will be short to some extent. Reports
from over the county show that the crop
is extremely uneven. Plenty of fields
show as fine tobacco as anybody would
care to look at, while any number of
fields show plants having leaves hardly
bigger than a mans hand.
The local trade In leaf tobacco has
been at a standstill the past week,
though the packers are encouraged with
frequent inquiries about their packings.
Sampling will not begin before Septem-
Der l, and then some trading may be ex-
pected. Until that fine the trade in
1906 goods will not amount to much.
The cigar business continues to hold
its own, and its own is satisfactory, TO
say the least. New Era.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10, 1907,

Rarely have the out of-town buyers
around the market found so little of the
new crop marketable than at this time
of the present season. Some packers
have commenced sampling some of their
holdings, but to most the tepid weather
does not seem propitious for disturbing
have therefore busted themselves in
picking up odds. and ends of old stock
and remarkable enough is the absence
of any kick against the price. But the
chief attention was paid to the Sumatra
and more of that commodity has been
contracted for by the Western jobbers
than in many previous year. The Ha-
vana market is still in suspense in re-
gard to the new types All buyers who
were in Cuba, and list of them who re-
turned this week, is published elsewhere,
sing the praises of the new Partidos and
heave at the same time deep sigh
about the new prices.
Conditions in the metropolitan cigar
manufacturing Industry are about as
usual for the time of year. A fair num-
Der of orders are coming into the fac
tories, and while they are not IN the
least rushed they generally report busi-
ness as reasonably satisfactory. Manu-
facturers, it is true, are not hustling
much for trade. and few statesmen are
out on the road, but the amount of busi-
ness that comes in in the regular course
is sufficient to keep the factories from
idleness. OF course forces are some
what depleted and there are large
number of cigarmakers looking for jobs;
but this is to be expected at midsum
mer. Were the raw material situation
different. it might be that manufacture
ers would not be taking things so calmly.
Raw leaf, especially Havana, is exceed
ingly scarce, and prices are steadily ad-
vancing, so that manufacturers are buy
ing as little as possible just enough to
meet immediate needs and supply their
regular customers. That the situation
will improve somewhat when the busy
season comes on is their fervent hope,
but the chances that leaf will be reduced
in price are remote, and tho only possi-
ble salvation for the industry seems to
lie in an advance in cigar prices.-Jour-

Railroad Fares to be Cheaper.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul
railroad has issued a circular announc-
ing change in passenger rates in obe-
dience to the recently enacted tWo-cent
fare law. After August IA current tar
ifs will be abolished and one-wsy local
and interline rates between points in
Wisconsin will be esta blished at cents
per mile.
Children between and II years of
age will still be able to purchase half
fare tickets, but clergymen, Sisters, Sal
vation Army men, soldiers home inmates
and others who have hitherto enjoyed
reductions, will have to pay full fare.
All summer excursion rates, exceed
ing two cents mile, will be Cancelled at
the close of sale August IA, and all
under two cents will be Cancelled August
81 Party rates are also Cancelled, and
round trip tickets may be sold for double
the way rate on a 30 day limit.
All homeseekers' rates between sta
tions in Wisconsin will be Cancelled when
the law goes into effect, but special
homeseekers rates to points outside the
state will not be affected
Western 1000 mile and 1000 mile in
dividual tickets have been stamped
"Not good locally in states having two
cents per mile fare" Such tickets will
accordingly not be honored in Wiscon-
sin after August IA, but they may be
honored for interstate travel between
stations in Wisconsin and stations in
other states Mileage tickets sold prior
to May l, and not bearing the above en-
dorsement, will be honored between
points in Wisconsin as well as between
points in Wisconsin aud points in other
states, in accordance with their condi-
tions requiring detachment of one cou-
pom for each mile, regardless of new
fares.
Mileage credentials will not be hon

The growing crop of tobacco does not
present very encouraging prospect for
large or heavy yield of desirable leaf.
Conservative estimates at this writing
place the crop at only so per cent. of the
average.
Much rain and cool weather have pre-
vented satisfactory growth. Most plant
ers complain of the unevenness of the
growing plants. Many fields have grow
ing plants of good size. while in the
same row adjoining plants have hardly
started. Of course, if exceptionally fav-
orable weather prevails. warm and dry,
conditions will materially improve. More
and frequent rains will produce rust,
and lessen the prospect for an average

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Another week has passed and it has
been week of great change to the to-
bacco in the fields. Ali tobacco has ad-
vanced rapidly during the week, some
fields more rapidly than others. The
early set has been topped and the suck
ers have started in fine style, while in
the later set fields much of it is ready to
be topped. Some of it is not SO early
but nature is driving it forward to it's
seed time as fast as possible, and soon
the top must be broken out if the TO-
bacco natures this season, with the
probability of it all ripening before the
September frosts But the die has been
cast and much of it cannot be so large
and heavy as last years crop. What
will be topped by the 18th of the month
will in all probability become ripe, and
we hope it may show up to good advant-
age with the colors ali right. In this
locality we have escaped the hail, al
though we had one heavy rain storm
with high wind that tipped the plants
over.
But however bad it looks it must be
far in advance of the look of those three
Hampden towns that were visited by the
hailstorm of Aug. 2, where according to

NEW YORK, Aug. 7, 1907

The market has undergone but little
change in the. past week. Inquiries for
old filler are stronger than ever, but the
buying that has been done shows that
the prices are still too high, and that
they are not inclined to purchase at
present more than their immediate needs
make necessary. AS consequence, the
same old deadlock between buyers and
sellers practically continues. The leaf
dealers take the stand that the new crop
is sure to be short one, and that prices
cannot come much lower, unless by the
intervention of an unheard-of decline in
the consumption of cigars or of busi-
ness panic; and they point out there are
no signs of either of these contingencies.
Good growing weather continues in the
cigar leaf sections, and reports indicate
that the new crop is coming along nicely.
Buying up the remainder of the crop in
the country has started up again, and
the prices reported paid are fully equal
to those at which the first part of the
crop was bought. No especial change is
looked for until the 1906 crop is fully
sampled. A number of Western buyers
have been in town this week, but appar-
emily they came more for the purpose of
exploring Coney Island than for making
immediate tobacco purchases
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1907-08-16

The regulations connected with the
internal revenue taxes on tobacco have
been revised and simplifed. The former
elaborate system in the government
books at the tobacco warehouses has
been changed so that hereafter it will be
required to have entry made of the
names and addresses to whom tobacco
is sold but it will not be required as
heretofore that the names and addresses
of farmers from whom tobacco is bought
shall be entered. It can simply be en-
tered as purchased from farmers, stating
the number This, however, is with the
proviso that the original warehouse
books must contain the name of every
farmer, the number of pounds purchased
from him, and the date of the purchase.
These warehouse books must be kept
open and always available to the inspec.
tion of the proper government officials.
Under the old plan, the warehouse books
had to be transcribed into the govern
ment books.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES


Quite large portion of the tobacco
section of the state stands greatly in
need of rain and has for week or more
past. This is just at the critical time,
too, when the top leaves are being ex-
panded where the drouth can most Sc
riously effect the yield. 1t is the only
time of the season when the absence OF
sufficient moisture has been felt. Now
while the earlier fields have been topped
and the later ones are reaching bud,
the pinching of drouth is matter OF
much concern. 1t means contraction
of the size of the leaf as we'll as spin
ding of the later fields and the sending
toward a bud of the plant before it's
time. Unless rains come soon there is
little hope that the early portion of the
crop approaching anywhere near size or
yield of the average year. But the later
portion of the crop migh recover some-
what under more favorable conditions,
though crop that was unusually late
in getting started the situation is Dot a
reassuring one. The present indications
point more towards filler than binder
year and it might not prove such great
calamity either. A good article of BIS
is the best property man can own to-
day for the scarcest article on the mar
ket today is filling tobacco, and year
hence the famine of domestic filters will
be more strongly felt. Perhaps we are
due for "B" crop.

this view of the situation: Let us as
sumo that the trust is guillotined out Of
existence It's vast business will have to
90 to somebody. 1t is sure to be gobbled
up by our largest and very large con-
Germs 1t is equally as sure that the
small man who is now groaning under
the burden of high prices and who is
readiest to applaud the destruction OF
the trust because he holds it RESPONSE
BILE for his precarious condition, will not
get smell of it. For the rivalry among
the million dollar concerns in existence
to get the trusts business will be fierce
and cutting. Will then the government
step in again and guillotine these con-
Germs also out of existence as "a con-
spiracy in restraint of trader" Logically
it will be compelled to do SO. And If
these concerns are killed off by receiver
ships and the small man gets at last his
chance to grow, and to grow rapidly,
would not that very growth in itself be
an invitation to the government to keep
the receivership guillotine working for
the wedding out of the "conspirators in
restraint of trader" So there would be
no end of this process till the govern
ment assumes the operation of our to-
bacco industries and esta blishes state
monopoly. And such is the goal of So
cialistic aspirations.
The time is at hand when storm dam
age can do its greatest harm to the
growing crop. Hail, one of the most
dreaded foes of the tobacco industry,
raised havoc last week Friday afternoon
in important sections of the Connecticut
valley The damage is variously esti-
mated at $4,000 to S150,000. The course
of the storm was unusually irregular,
and freakish turns 10 its path were
noted. The towns which suffered most
severely were Feeding Hills and Aga
wan, Mass, though Southwick and re-
stricted sections few miles north and
south of Springfield saw considerable
hail Southwick growers we're great
losers. In connection with the exact
damage incurred it is interesting to note
the various estimates given out by the
growers. Some say the damage will ap-
proximate 5000 an acre, while others
maintain S400 is not an extravagant es-
innate. The Homestead representative
made special inquiry along this line and
the careful and conservative growers set
forth data pointing to $500 an acre as
being near the actual damage. Such
men figure that 5000 is little low, while
S4OO is equally high. On the average it
takes an extra good crop to net S4OO an
acre, and coming at this season OF the
year the grower is saved considerable
labor which would 60 into the crop be-
tween now and the time it reaches the
buyers. Moreover. the crop is not a
total loss, as many figure they will make
:airly good day wages by harvesting, al
though not planning to bestow any par
ticular care on the leaf sor the remainder
of the growing season.
