NEW YORK, Feb. 12, 1908

Another week of inactivity has gone
on record in the local market, so far as
domestic leaf is concerned. From Penn
sylvania comes the news that the buying
of the 1907 crop has begun, eight to ten
cents being paid. Advices are to the eff
feet that the crops run very unevenly, and
the greatest circumspection has to be
used by the buyers. In Ohio buying
movement is reported, but in New York
state and Wisconsin nothing of interest
has transpi-ed, and the buying move
ment that prevailed in Connecticut re-
Gently seems to have slowed down. The
feature of the 1907 crop seems to be a
scarcity of quality binders, the crops
from all sections running largely to

have been much encouraged this week
by numerous inquiries and requests for
samples, and the usual routine business
has been done in Partido and Remedies.

NEW YORK, Feb. Is, 1905

NEW YORK, F0O. 10, ISUS.
The market is not as animated as it
should be at this time. The retrogres.
sive tendency in the output of our cigar
industry, which is still manifesting itself
as result of the panic, is not conducive
to boom in the leaf market. Some
activity however, is noted and some
sales have been made in choice lots of old
Wisconsin and Zimmer's at prices nearly
reaching the figures that prevailed dur
ing the boom period of 1905. But for
the average seed leaf and trash prices
are on the decline. Purchases, therefore,
such as are needed, are made at reason
able figures and cigar manufacturer
cannot now complain that his profit is
being swallowed up by the high price of
leaf. There is fair demand for Su-
matra, of which the market is not over
stocked at all, and there is also better
inquiry for Havana, the activity in which
had become almost dormant. Under the
general tendency of reduction, the price
of Havana leaf has moderated also with
the effect Of diminishing the consump-
ton of the Porto Rican leaf as a substi-
tute. The use of substitutes may pass
unnoticed and may even prove profitable
in boom times, but when consumption
has to be forced it can be done so only
with standard goods of quality. Those,
however, who would adhear to substi-
tutes are bound to come to grief, as
some manufacturers actually have who
substituted Porto Rico for Havana in
their so-called clear Havana cigars. With
the elimination of this substitute the
Havana market is likely to attain once
more its normal condition.
Reports from local cigar manufactur-
ers indicate slight improvement in
conditions. Orders are gradually in
creasing in number and bulk and it
looks as if the dull period was drawing
to close. Journal

Lancaster.

LANCASTER, Pa, Feb. IL, 1908.
Buying of the new leaf tobacco crop
of Lancaster county may now be said to
have fairly opened, though not many of
the local packers are among the buyers
Representatives of the big foreign COM
binations have again, as during the past
few years, started the buying. The local
packers say they are in no hurry to buy
as there will be enough to go round. AS
they are still loaded up with 1906 tobac-
CO, it is doubtful if many could buy it il
they would, having no warehouse room,
to say nothing of other potential reasons.
That nun bers of growers are not salts
fed with the prices now offered is now
evidenced by the reports of the purchase
of tobacco cases by growers who intend
to pack their own crops, expecting to get
more out of them that way. The pack
ers admit that their first estimates OF
the crop, based on rumors, have been
changed by inspection of good deal of
tobacco, and they say now that there
will be good deal of BIS.
The aggregate of the sales by local
packers of 1906 goods the past week was
not large, nor can an active market he
expected until buyers and packers get
together on prices by mutual conces-
sions.
The cigar industry appears to be brac-
ing up a trifie, but the great trouble is
that payments are SO slow.-New Era.

Connecticut valley Tobacco Market.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.
So far as concerns the headline of this
article, will say, to begin with, that al
though yesterday I visited two local
buyers could learn of but one sale of
old tobacco and could not ascertain the
names Of the contracting parties We
are all living in the hope of seeing the
stagnant condition broken at near fu-
ture date, and the new tobacco of this
section moving. Until the standstill in
the selling of the old goods has been
broken do not expect to see it.
AS one of the local buyers expressed
himself, there are very few of those men
vino buy here in the East Only once in
while can one be found who can stag
ger under the load of too high priced
crops of tobacco at one time If they
could sell some of their holdings and
could renew their notes to their credit
ors they could place that much of their
money in the new crop. Were they to-
place such money in new tobacco they
would haggle for low price for such
goods, knowing very we'll that the man
ufacturers are all of them waiting for
coming of the new crop, and feeling that
this new crop is to be bought for less
| money than was paid for the 1906 crop.
1t is partly for this reason that they
have been buying from hand to mouth
for so long time, although they did so
in part for financial reasons One buyer
of packed goods from Illinois, who was
in this neighborhood a few days ago, was
asked what he could pay for certain
class OF sweat tobacco, answered he could
not tell, for he didn't know for what he
could sell the goods or when he could
sell them at all, for the market was very
dull and he could not afford to buy
wrappers or seconds until there was
market for such goods. But for filters
and scrubs Tor broken tobacco) there
was some call at moderate prices, prob
ably not above 10c. He wanted to buy
for &c or less, but was unable to buy for
anything less than 10c. This is probably
a starting price, as it is early yet for
many such goods TO be placed on the
market, but this local buyer thought
that in month or two such filters and
scrubs would advance at least 1c per
pound. Cultivator.

the process of getting down to lower
level that hurts. The loss must fall up-
on someone and everyone is trying hard
to get out from under. The packer, job
Der and manufacturer alike want just as
little stock on hand as possible when the
depreciation is charged off. This is the
one great reason why the market is so
inactive at the present time 1t looks as
If the grower, too, must stand some part
of the loss in the present crop.

The buying of the 1907 crop can now
be safely said to be we'll under way.
Riding is being freely done in all Sec
tions and the aggregate sales will foot
up good many hundred acres for the
week. Buyers say growers quite readily
accept the going figures and trading is
rather an easy proposition when crops
are found that meet their expectations.

The rest Of the evening was spent
in conference With Grant Miller. of
the firm Of Patton & MILLER, OF
Chicago, architects. The conference
resulted in the board accepting the
proposition of the firm to draw the
plans and furnish the specifications
for the new high school building
and to supervise the construction of
the building, their fee to be five per
cent Of the contract price.
Mr.. Miller stated to the board that
ne would come to Mitchell and work
with the board in furnishing plan
after plan until the board mad
secured just what it wanted in the
way of a building. and under those
arrangements the building ought to
be an ideal one. Patton & Miller
have a fine reputation both in the
east and west for conscientious work.
and the members feel that they
have secured a contract that will
eventually result i'm a great benefit To
the tax payers.
