believe that the single performance,
will be the most satisfactory.

NEW YORK. May 16, 1908.


The market is beginning to take a
more hopeful turn. OF course, business
has not yet assumed the activity one
might expect after seven months of
well-nigh starvation. But signs are null
tiplying that the worst is over and that
business is bound to improve henceforth,
gradually perhaps yet for short period
but steadily and emphatically after
wards. The reliable barometer OF the
internal revenue stamp returns point
that way and so do the reports from our
correspondents and reporters who come
in contact with both the retail and man
ufacturing trade. Prices of leaf are be-
ing held, therefore, firmer than at any
time since last fall. The low grades of
1907 Pennsylvania and Wisconsin crops
have been gathered in by one big com
pany, leaving but small percentage OF
it for the general trade. The same thing
is being now done in Ohio, so that the
old crops will be in rushing demand
when the cigar industry fully recovers
its normal condition and prices will then
correspond to the increased demand
Trading in Sumatra is rather lively for
these times, the new importations Civ
ing full satisfaction in spite of the pre-
vious reports as to certain defects in the
new crop. The Havana market is like
wise improving. There is not only a
better demand for the old stock, but
better prices are also being realized. In
consequence the Cuban market is being
fast relieved Of its long time accumula-
tions.-Journal.

express the belief that they will not be
called upon to make further sacrifices in
the sales of 1906 goods, as they believe
the reviving cigar trade will have ten
dency to stiffen the prices OF old tobacco.
It is doubtful whether $4,000 cases yet
remain in the hands of the original
packers.
A party of prominent local packers, at
an informal conference held last week,
estimated that the 1907 crop will make
not much over 60000 cases, and of this
they believe $4,000 cases have been tax
en- out-of the open market by the heavy
purchases that were made by the Amer
lean Tobacco Co., the United Cigar
Manufacturers, Otto Eisenlohr & Bro,
and half dozen other big firms. They
base their estimates on the reported
purchases of these parties The local
packers claim that they hold the cream
Of the 1907 crop, which they say will turn
out an excellent filler crop. The tobacco
is sweating satisfactorily, and not much
more than the average percentage Of
black rot is expected to develop.
The late cold weather has not been
beneficial to the growing seed beds, but
in spite of this the growers expect to be
able to set out the plants several weeks
earlier than last year. A few growers
have already set out their plants.-New
Era.

VIRooUA. WIS, MAY l3. 1908.

Weather of the past two weeks has
been anything but conducive to growth
of plants in the tobacco beds. Cold
rains have retarded growth and there is
liable to be late setting and small plants.
Roads have been so deep in mud that
farmers have found much difficulty in
making deliveries of contracted crops,
But each day the weed is coming to
market and with fair roads little of last
years crop will remain in farmers hands
in another fortnight. A mere fraction
of last years acreage remains unsold'
There is much talk that acreage will be
greatly curtailed the present year. The
Censor believes this will be the right
season'to keep good the acreage. Cen.

The buying season is now pretty we'll
at an end and no sales of bundled to-
bacco we're reported during the past
week. A small amount of assorted to-
bacco, however, still remains on the
market and some sales have been made
at good prices, namely, around Ia cents
per pound The prospects for the new
crop seem fairly encouraging. The seed
beds have come on rapidly during 70

Warehouse handling is still under full
swing at the packing points, though the
help problem is yet something of a han
dicap. A stronger demand for old stock
is reported in the eastern markets which
is not yet reflected much in the local
markets.
Plenty of rain followed by warm
weather is bringing along the plant beds
in very satisfactory manner, which
now promises to bring the plants in time
for the early transplanting.

A New England observer of the to-
bacco business for some years has dis
covered several reasons why good many
farmers do not. care to join these organ
izations that have for their object the
elimination of the middlemen in the sale
of their products, and we give them:
First, it doesn't run in the blood of the
average farmer to make any combination
for self protection that they will hold to-
gether on. Second, the independent
grower that understands his business
we'll and has made provision for "a rainy
day" and winters without income, does
not care to cast his lot with Tom, Dick
and Harry who raise an inferior article
and are careless in curing their stock.
Third there are quite large number of
growers in every section of the valley
that manage sorting shops and act as
sub-agents for heavy buyers that would
not join any combination of buyers.
Fourth, the quality of the cured stock is
so variable in value that dissatisfaction
with the price received is bound to often
be made by the growers and sometimes
with good reason. But this authority
claims there are inherent conditions con-
nected with the business that make it
much harder and less hopeful for a sale
combination than there is connected
with other business.

The National Cigar Leaf Tobacco as
sociation held their annual convention
in Philadelphia last week and closed
their proceedings with resolutions which
are supposed to voice the opinions of the
trade upon variety of subjects. Those
relating to legislation before congress
touching two points are as follows:
Resolved, That We emphatically reit-
crate our opposition to the proposed re-
duction of the tariff on Philippine pro-
ducts and pledge. our support to our
officers in the employment of all honor
able means to prevent the enactment of
the pending measure.
Resolved, That this association views
with satisfaction the movement IN Con-
gress to secure legislation to put an end
to the demoralizing practice of certain
manufacturers who have sought to stlm-
ulate the sale of their goods by offering
cheap premiums, and we pledge our CO.
operation to the Independent Tobacco
Manufacturers Association in the effort
to obtain the passage of the so-called
Tawney anti coupon bill.
Whereas, The measure now pending
in Congress, House bill IL, $40, commonly
known as the free leaf bill, if enacted,
would work serious injury to all branches
of the tobacco trade, reduce the internal
revenue to disastrous extent, open the
door of fraud to unscrupulous naanufac-
turers and prove no real benefit even
to the relatively small class of farmers
in whose alleged interest it has been
drafted; therefore be it
Resolved, That we earnestly urge the
Senate Finance COMMITTEES, either to
postpone the measure indefinitely, or
make it the subject of an adverse report;
and the officers of this association are
hereby instructed to lay this resolution
before the committee at the hearing
upon this bill on the 10Th inst.

The largest tobacco grower in Lancas-
ter county, and no doubt in the state, is
ex-United States Senator j. Donald
Cameron. He has about half dozen
farms near Marietta on which he planted
88 acres with tobacco in 1907. The total
yield was 117,834 pounds, or an average
of 1889 pounds to the acre, which was
12O less than in 1906. The average price
realized last year was only S7.2O per
hundred pounds, as against Sll.78 for
the 1906 crop. The fact that Senator
Cameron will plant 90 acres this year is
pretty good indication how the intelli-
gent growers regard the future of to-
bacco.

MOTE BOOK SKETCHES


The general opinion of buyers who
have been connected with the movement
OF the crop, pays high compliment to
the manner in which most growers have
prepared their crop for market this year.
Their plan to keep the late from the
early portions, the green from the FROST
ed and all arranged so that buyers might
easily gain an idea of the percentages of
the different grades is highly recon-
mended. And the growers have very
generally proGted by their care in this
matter. So much of the crop contained
late ends it was about the only method
to pursue to keep the grades distinct
and separate, else all must have been
sold at the price fixed for the lower
grades. When crop is properly graded
there is but little trouble experienced in
agreeing upon price covering the diff
ferent portions of the crop. So it is well
to remember that these conditions ap-
ply to the sale of any future crop, for
the growers pretty generally know how
to make the best of their opportunities.

Our friend of the u. S. Tobacco Jour-
nal is considerably cut because the Ma
tional Cigar Leaf convention failed to de-
clare for his pet hobby--a uniform spe-
cifc duty on all leaf tobacco imported.
But for the life of us We fail to see any
good reason to disturb the present tariff
schedule which seems fairly satisfactory
to the trade in general. When you COM
mence to rip up long established tariff
schedules it is very difficult to tell just
where you will land. We imagine the
convention looked at it much as we do
and were willing to let we'll enough
alone.
