WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN, Wis, Dec. Is, 1908.
While there seems to be no organized
effort to resume the buying of the new
crop, there has been quiet movement
going on productive of some sales. In
a few instances former figures have
been paid for early lots but the major
ity of the selling has been done at lower
prices ranging from 6 to s cents, and
altogether amounting to several hum
dred acres. The deliveries of the early
purchases have commenced during the
week and as general thing the tobac-
co is coming in very good packing con-
dition. The Uuited people have re-
ceived nearly 200 acres at Edgerton and
Orfordville, M. L. Carrier several car
loads in the Kickapoo valley. Ware
house handling is under way in a few
warehouses.
Some movement in old leaf has taken
place in the local markets, the most
important are the sale of the Richard
Holton & Co. packing at Whitehall of
'O6, 543cs, and loses of the Campbell &
Peterson packing of 'O6 at Orfordville.
w. 7. Pomeroy & Co. have gathered in
about 175cs of export goods from vari-
GUS sources. Will & R. Attlesey sold
38cs of 'O7 and Sterl Hartzell 7cs at
8ac to McGifin & Birkenmeyer.
Soft weather has come again, putting
the hanging tobacco into case so that
growers may resume their stripping if
they SO desire.
The shipments out of storage reach
874cs from this market to all points for
the week, and Is car loads received.

that purpose being to compel packers
to pay such prices as will run the cost
of their packings to nearly or quite the
high prices of 1906, thereby entailing
further losses on them We know
nothing about the matter, and give only
what is current talk in the trade. If by
such a course local packers could be
driven out of the business the trusts
would then have clear field, and could
then fix prices to suit themselves. How
this would work in the long run, SO far
as the growers are concerned, every
reader must decide for himself

New England.

The recent foggy, damp weather, va
ried by light rains, has enabled growers
to take down their tobacco and but lit
tie of the crop is still hanging on the
poles. Upon examination the tobacco
is said to show up better than the aver
age crop. The leaf is Of good size and
texture, and though owing to the dry
weather when curing, the colorS are
not perfect, yet there is a larger pro-
portion of light wrapper than last year.
A few sales are reported at from IL to
81 cents per pound for good crops and
from 10 to Is cents for inferior grades.
Most of the recent sales, however, have
been of hail-cut leaf The average
price paid is from to 65 cents, though
In few cases z cents has been paid.
Some sound leaf has been picked up in
out-of- -the-Way places at from 10 to 13
cents per pound This is we'll below
what the average farmer is asking and
the result is that there is something of
deadlock. Buyers, it is said, hope TO
bring down the market to the figures
mentioned, while growers are clinging
firmly to their position.
East Hartford, Ct., Dec. 7-At this
date about three-fourths Of the Broad
leaf in a section including Glastonbury,
East Hartford and South Windsor has
been sold at from 20 to % cents in the
bundle and from "a to 27 cents assorted.
There seems to be a luli since Thanks
giving. There are no lockers for 1907.
They say they expect to buy this crop
at Is cents. Growers are not disposed
to take this price. The new crop has
sold well at fair prices.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES


The first receiving of the new crop
has taken place during the week and
has given the packers an opportunity
to take note of what the early portion
at least of the crop is expected to yield
as we'll as it's condition and qualities.
On the first go acres which the United
Cigar Manufacturers Co. received on
Saturday there was an average yield of
1875 pounds of grades to the acre and a
money return of about $120. Aside
from tendency Of being little high
case the tobacco is unusually sound and
free from any defect. There is likely
to be some disappointment as regards
the thinness Of the leaf, as tobacco that
yields 1875 pounds of grades is not like
ly to be as thin as is desirable for bind
er stock. However, the. color is good
and the size of the leaf of the early
crops is destined to yield a fair proper
tion of binder goods. There are some
white veins to be sure these are to be
expected in dry curing season but
for binder leaf are not so much to be
feared There will also be a good pro-
portion of short leaf graded to make
excellent BIS. So far the growers are
abundantly pleased with the results of
the delivery. When they can take
home better than 500 per acre for their
tobacco crop they seem to have very
little cause for complaint. The advan-
tage of getting their money early, too,
is appreciated. Somewhere close to
500, 900 will be turned loose in the to-
bacco sections of the state to be Of use
in the holiday shopping.
The pooling system of selling tobacco
which has been so industriously worked
in the Kentucky and Tennessee field,
does not appear to be entirely salts,
factory to the planters, after all. We
note from dispatch from Hopkins
vile, KY, that at a mass meeting of
Christian county planters new asso-
ciation was formed for the purpose of
promoting individual selling of their
product. The farmers have apparently
awakened to the fact that the tying up.
'of their tobacco in pools involves a
whole lot of expense and salary attach
ment which must be paid for in the.
end. The shrinkage, storage, insur
ance, interest on borrowed money and
selling expenses all have to be met by
the planter eventually, and the toll is
too large, they think. They want to be
able to realize on their tobacco when
ever they feel that there is an oppor-
tunity to sell it advantageously without
being compelled to wait the pleasure Of
the officials of pool. The fact that
planters grow tobacco to sell, not to
speculate on, appeals more strongly to
them than ever. Wisconsin tobacco
growers can CLEAN lesson from the
experience their southern brethren are
passing through on this pooling busi-
ness if they choose to take notice.

The local market presented no special
features during the past week. There
is still good deal of buying of the new
crop, although so much has been taken
already that it is not so easily got now
as earlier in the season. The prices re-
main about the same as for some time
past. and the indications are there will
not be a material change before the
season closes
There is a belief current among many

That the financial depression in this
country affected the Sumatra tobacco
market, causing a heavy decrease III
the price and cutting down exports to
this country, is evidenced from report
to the Department of Commerce and
Labor on the Amsterdam sales this
year, made by Consul Henry M. Nor
gan Although the sales at Amsterdam
and Rotterdam were about four thou
sand bales more this year than in 1907,
the price this year was 36d cents per
IL pounds, as compared with 63.5 cents
in 1907 Although the quantity sold
this year was larger than in 1907, the
income was less by So, 500, ,000. The ex-
ports to this country are also said to be
about half the amo7lnt In 1907. Mr..
Morgan reports that all of the Sunlatra
tobacco of the crop Of 1907 on the AM
sterdam market has been sold, the last
sale taking place on October 16. His
report follows: The average price re-
allied in 1908 was 36a cents per half
kilo Ill pounds), against &c. cents per
half kilo in 1907. Notwithstanding the
larger quantity sold in 1908, the amount
realized was about So, 500, 900 less than
in 1907. While this difference is at
tributed largely to the fact that the
1907 crop was inferior in quality to the
former one, this is not the only con-
tributive cause The market was great
" depressed in sympathy with the
financial crisis in the United States,
and the whole European market was
influenced thereby. In 1906 Sumatra
tobacco to the value of ST, 726, ,663 was
exported from Amsterdam to the United:
States, and in 1907 to the value Of
So, 059, III. Up to September 80 of the
present year the export has only
amounted to $4, Al, 500. This decrease
is accounted for largely by the fact that
the prices paid were less than in former
years, but the amount in weight was
also considerably less For many years
past quite number of American deal
ers have assisted at the sales of Suma
ira tobacco held here, and they are re-
garded as the best customers. In a
conversation upon the subject with one
of the most prominent tobacco brokers
of this city he expressed surprise that
the number of American buyers had
not increased, and that none of the
large manufacturers had come over to
buy the tobacco at first hand and there
by save the dealers profit.

The leaf market during the week was
animated by an activity in filler grades.
Several considerable transactions took
place in 1907 Pennsylvania and for the
1907 Zimmer's a steadier demand has
manifested itself than holders of it are
willing to crafty at prevailing prices.
This brisk trade in filler grades is un-
doubtedly stimulated by the high prices
at which the 1908 Pennsylvania is being
gobbled up by packers. Far-sighted
manufacturers calculate, therefore,
rightly that the present is a most op-
perfume time to stock themselves up at
the still prevailing reasonable prices
with the excellent filler grades raised
last year. Such favorable opportun-
|ity is not likely to last very long. Al
though the cigar industry has not yet
reached its output of the anti-panic
period, it has been creeping up to it
gradually and steadily. And it is but a
question of a few months when it will
be on top again and require hustling
for leaf. That moment is certain to
come, and when it does come the prices
of leaf will soar up again as they did
| in 1906. Moved by the same provident
policy the cigar industry is also provid-
ing itself more literally with Sumatra
as the reasonableness of it's present
prices is likely to undergo an upward
change too when the new crop COM
mences to come on the market by next
summer. In Havana leaf the same sit
uation prevails. Prices for all types of
leaf will be from now on on the upward
trend and the market, therefore, is
likely to be more active during the close
of the year than in many previous sea-
sons. Journal
