WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERTON, Wis, Dec. II, 1908
Up to this date no buying of the '08
of any consequence has been resumed
since the late casing spell, though some
riding is being done in various sections
and few sales made. The business of
the local markets is largely confined to
the sale Of old goods from first hands
at figures that will permit OF an export
outlet for which there seems to be an
improved demand The following trans
actions have come to notice:
Holverson & Bitters, 54cs 'O6 and '07
at 86s7c.
N. G.. Nelson, 24cs 'O7 at 83&6c.
John Guam, 25cs '07 at &c.
Ed Girstenbrie, 18cs '07 at 10&6c.
Mrs. Olson, 25cs '07 at SC.
Among packers, however, business
seems to be picking up. C. L. Culton
reports the purchase of 11Ocs 'O6 of O.
H. Holton of Stoughton and 104cs '06
of Henry Scott of Madison and Tics 'O7
Of Edw. Simonson. Mcintosh Bros.
bought 34cs lot of 'O6 of j. D. Nc
Carthy and have sold about 10Ocs of '06
and '07 the past week.
A few packers are preparing to start
warehouse handling soon. The United
Cigar Mfgs. Co. begin receiving their
purchase of the new crop this week and
will open their warehouses at Edgerton,
Orfordville ard Westby on Monday and
others soon after. Enough tobacco is
reported ready, for delivery to keep the
forces busy.
Stripping is proceeding in the country
where growers have taken down their
crops, but winter has apparently set in
and those growers who did not take ad-
vantage of the late casing must now
wait until the next soft weather.

Of the tobacco is said to be excellent.
Farmers are looking for high prices
and prefer to hold their tobacco for a
while rather than sell at present quota
tions. About II cents per pound in the
bundle is the average price offered.
There have been more or less sales of
hail-cut at around 65 cents. A good
deal of movement has taken place in
the 1907 crop, prices ranging from 10
cents, to q cents and averaging around
Is cents. The crops sold at these fig
ures, however, are not what would be
called first class, and good fancy crops,
a number of which are still unsold, will
probably bring better prices.

But little trading was done in old
goods in the local leaf tobacco market
the past week, partly because there is
no4 a great deal of old goods left yet,
and partly because the manufacturers,
the regular customers of the packers,
who are holding back goods for them
instead of selling in bulk, are only buy
ing as they require tobacco for imme-
diate manufacturing purposes. There
is no change in prices, which are now
what they have been for some weeks.

the crops of 1908, which are now being
offered in the market, are pronounced
to be the best ever grown, and good
sized yield, too, because the acreage is
increasing every year. Prices are even
more moderate than the product of 1906
commanded. The use of Florida Geor-
gia wrappers is becoming more general
as the peculiarities of the leaf are bet
ter known and manufacturers are able
to use it more advantageously.

New YORK. Dec. 5, 1903.


The present dullness Of the leaf mar
ket reflects accurately the trade condl-
tions throughout the country. There
may be spots here and there where the
cigar industry has been accelerated OF
late on account of steadier and in
creased orders for the holiday business.
But the November returns from the
great cigar manufacturing centers of
the country published in this issue show
that the output still fell behind the pro-
duction of November of last year when
the financial crisis had reached its
height. The November output In the
largest single cigar manufacturing dis
trict Of the country, the Ninth Penn
sylvania, was even the smallest since
1900 And if the November output has
failed to make good it would be but
self-deception to proclaim that the ex-
pected holiday trade has resumed its
natural proportions. Only the clear Ha-
vany cigar industry seems to share In a
progressive activity and this probably
more because of the better new Havana
crop which satisfies a long restrained
longing for a satisfactory smoke than
from a general Improvement. Under
these circumstances it is difficult to con-
ceive why packers should pay now spec
ulative prices for the new crops. There
is absolutely no shortage of the raw
material in sight, nor is there In sight
for at least another year return Of
our cigar industry to its anti-panic ac-
tivity. The reports from the Pennsyl-
vania tobacco districts, however, where
prices are being paid for the new crop
which would bring the figures for the
BIS up again to Is and 20 cents would
lead one to believe as if there is fam
inc in filler leaf extant. But no such
emergency is even in distant view. It
is the old story Of a gamblers risk to
retrieve a lost fortune. But the times
are anything but propitious for taking
this risk so soon after the sad exper-
ience with the 1906 crop. While things
are bound to liven up somewhat IN the
new year, they are not yet nor will
they be in the near future in such a
shape as to warrant boosting up prices
on imaginary prospects Journal.

There are probably few people in the
tobacco industry who have an accurate
conception Of the Importance and mag
nitude of the tobacco growing industry
of Florida, which tobacco raising belt
also includes portion of Georgia. In
Gadsden county alone the industry has
assumed mammoth proportions. Hun
dreds of plantations have been equipped
for tobacco raising, large number OF
scientifically constructed warehouses
erected and thousands of employees are
engaged in the cultivation and handling
of the weed. Millions of capital is en-
ployed, and the industry is rapidly
spreading in various sections of Florida
and Georgia. Like the business in 9TH

subject to certain hazards, such as un-

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The buying movement seems to have
shifted lately to the Pennsylvania field
where a good deal of activity has devel-
oped the past month until a good share
of the crop is under contract. Prices
have ranged about the same as were
paid during the earlier movement in
Wisconsin conceded to average about
10 and &c for the wrapper and binder
grades, though in few instances
slightly higher figures were paid. All
things considered, however, the tobacco
is being bought cheaper than Wisconsin
leaf will cost the packers for the rea-
son that the sale of crop in Pennsyl-
vania means that the tobacco will be
delivered assorted and ready for pack
ing into cases. The cost of labor in as
sorting is borne by the grower which is
counted close to one cent a pound. Then
the shrinkage in handling as well as the
throwing out of trash and damaged
leaves which usually falls upon the
packer in this state is also eliminated.
Such items are generally figured at
nearly two cents per pound, SO when
tobacco is selling at 10c in Pennsy ylvania
in is equivalent to around &c when Wis
Hconsin leaf is marketed in the bundle.
The custom in the former state is to
deliver their crop assorted, a matter to
be kept in mind when comparisons are
made.
