Business in the leaf market is still an
ephemeral affair Only such activity
prevails as is stirred to provide for i'm
mediate needs. Any speculative invest
meEt seems to be out of question in
spite of low prices. Not only has all the
water and all the profit but also good
deal of the capital itself been squeezed
out of nearly all stock in the market,
and yet there is no rush to gather in
bargains. The reason for this stagna
ton has been revealed in the figures OF
the internal revenue. The only excep-
tion Sumatra seems to make, the cid
stock of which is keeping well up to it's
full market value Yesterdays inscrip-
ton, however, seems to have revived the
normal buying by American houses,
from which it may be inferred that a
better and more sefvlceable type for the
American market is now being offered.
With the approach of the summer a
more optimistic feeling begins to prevail
in local cigar factories. Not that there
has been any pronounced general in
crease in orders, but there is belief
that the worst has passed and from now
on things will improve.-Jo

LANCASTER, Pa, April Z, 1908.
The new crop continues to move off at
a lively rate, and few more weeks of
buying like last week will see the bulk
of it gone to the packers. The latter are
not rushing to buy. but are working
around quietly, picking up the best to
be had. It may be doubted whether the
STANDARD prices, and 3 cents, which
prevailed earlier in the season, are being
maintained, as crops have been sold at a
cent less pound than could have been
secured earlier in the season. The
packers expect very considerable drop
uow, but whether they are justified in
their expectations remains to be seen.
Some of the packers are not too we'll
pleased with the condition of tobacco
delivered early in the season, as it is re-
ported not to be doing well. The ware
houses of the city present busy appear
ances now, by reason of the new tobacco
being received. As to the old goods,
there is little doing. outside of the small
purchases of manufacturers.
The cigar trade appears to be tonIng
Up a trife. as is evidenced by the re-
sumption of work at idle factories and
the returns from the revenue Office, the
receipts for March showing healthy IN
crease over February.-New Era

The time is not far off when we must
attend to the sowing OF the tobacco seed
if we mean to get crop this year, and
with the experience of last season vividly
in the mind, of many, think there will
be struggle to get our seed il early
and try to get an early start this season.
1t is the early bird that catches the
worm,s but | hope ambition will not
tempt you strong enough to grow any
more than you can properly house, for IL
you do you may be early enough to
catch some of what is called pole sweat.
We all admit that she earlier cut tobac-
CO is more apt to be infected with this
disease than is later cut tobacco. But
for all that, give me the early cut, even
though you get little pole sweat, for
we all know equally well that early to-
bacco contains more of the desirable
leaf.

M1AM1sRuRe. O., April 9, 1908.

Some activity has been manifest the
past week on the part of several of the
we'll known tobacco buying firms, and a
number of sales reported. Eight cents
seems to be the prevailing price. There
is no great desire to sell at these figures,
but, Notwithstanding quite few sales
have occurred.
The subject of trash tobacco again
comes up. An immense quantity has
been purchased this year at liz cents.
Farmers would find it much more to
their advantage to put it back on the
land as fertilizer. The large quanti-
ties of trash takes the place of good to-
bacco at high price.-News.

So far as the local market is concerned
there have been but few sales of domes-
tic leaf during the past week. The man
nfacturers continue in their disposition
to buy in as small quantities as possible,
apparently upon the belief that prices
have not reached bottom yet. In Wis
consin and Pennsylvania the packers are
picking up such crops as meet their
fancy, but they are displaying severe
circumspection in connection with their
purchases.-Le

Buyers are still industriously at work
all along the line taking over large guam
titles of last seasons crop at prevailing
prices which yield but meagre profits to
the producer. 1t is believed that better
than three quarters of the crop has now
been purchased and il the movement
continues at the present rate few
weeks longer the crop will be practically
cleaned up. While the bulk of the sales
do not rise above the cent limit, some
of the better grade of assorted lots bring
quite satisfactory figures. We might
quote columns of and cent transac-
tions but the following show the range
taken.

There is scarcely any improvement to
note in the market for old goods, but
packers are holding out well for profits.
The seed beds for another crop have
been sown quite extensively during the
week, but weather conditions have not
been unusually favorable.
The shipments out of storage reach
500 cases for the week to all points from
this market.

After recent trip made to this state
Mr.. G. w. Wobbe, New York leaf deal
er, writes trade journal his impressions
of the market conditions here: "The
packers of l906 tobacco in Wisconsin are
holding On to their goods, and asking
the same prices they did few months
ago-probably iustiiably. as there are
many manufacturers who do not care to
jeopardize the quality of their goods for
the sake of few cents difference in
price between the old and new tobaccoe.
It is estimated that no more than thirty
per cent of the 1907 crop will be suitable
binder tobacco. The crop, on an aver
age, is treacherous one, and it requires
the exercise of judgment and discrim-
ination on the part of the packers to get
crop Of the 1907 goods that contains
the requisite soundness and ripeness to
make it worth while adding to their
packings. But the same is in a measure
true of all other 1907 tobacco. There is
good deal of riding going on, and as
quite number of people are out looking
all the time, it may appear to casual
observer that great deal of buying is
being done, but the amount actually
purchased, in comparison with the
amount usually taken by this period of
the year, is very small. It is believed
that about one-half of the crop will re-
main in the farmers hands, but owing
to it's unripe state, whether it will re-
main sound is matter of conjecture.
Generally, the prices paid may seem
low, but the tobacco bought has not
been cheap, owing to the quantity of
tail endings' each crop contains. The
tobacco is thin with few exceptions and
10 consequence the short grades, which
would otherwise be valuable for Il pur-
poses, will not be desirable for our mar
ket, except at low prices for export. A
considerable quantity of unripe tobacco
has been bought at low prices for stem
ming purposes and for export.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES



The question of warehouse help to as
sort and pack the tobacco crop which
has been SO largely bought up the past
few weeks is what is puzzling a good
many packers just at this time There
was nothing doing during the early win
ter months when plenty of help could be
secured at the packing points, for the
whole trade had not recovered from the
paralysis of the fall panic, but now when
hundreds of hands are needed at the
warehouses they are not to be had.
Country people who comprise large
share of the warehouse help in the win
ter are now needed on the farms and
cannot be spared, leaving only the lab
oring classes in the packing points to
draw from, except what hands can be
induced to come in from neighboring
towns This condition will certainly
mean the prolonging of the handling
season well into the summer months,
much as the packers dislike it. II, will
also remind the packers that if they de-
sire to put up tobacco properly, buying
must be done in the early fall and the
warehouse work largely done in the win
ter months. It is quite probable that
much of the present crop will be sweat
in the bundle before casing, and if this
is done damage after packing will be
largely eliminated, even though this
method of handling may not be quite as
satisfactory.

One of the results of the suit brought
aga inst the big tobacco trust by the
government to dissolve that corporation
is apparent already in this state, for
three of the subsidiary concerns of the
parent trust are operating independent
" ia Wisconsin this season. Heretofore
the American Cigar Co. has purchased
and handled all the Wisconsin leaf con-
sumed by the trust and it's many
branches. This year the American To
bacco Co., the American Cigar Co. and
Union Stogie Co. have each separate
buying forces organized and are entirely
Independent of each other, even so far
as doing moderate amount of compet-
ing for similar class of goods. It seems
to be generally understood that the bus
mess of each branch of the trust will be
kept entirely distinct and separate in
the future, except that the profits will
go into common pool. The new order
furnishes employment to quite num-
ber of local tobacco men who have not
before seen the color of trust money.

past four years. according TO
compilation which has just been
completed by the Pennsylvania
management, following the adop-
ton by the United States senate
on March = of a resolution direct
ing the interstate commerce COM
mission to investigate and report
on the. use of facing point
switches on railroads in the Unit
ed States.
From January /, 1904, to Janu-
airy !. 1908. on the Pennsylvania
railroad 143 hand operated facing
point switches were removed and
125 trailing switches substituted
for the same number of hand OPP
Grated facing point switches. One
hundred and ninety-eight facing
point switches at interlocing
plants were removed entirely and
twelve trailing switches substitute
ed for facing points, making a to-
tai of 1,01S. In the work of elm
mating facing point switches es-
pecial attention has been directed
toward abolishing those not pro-
tected by interlocking signals.
