cerned in Minneapolis ReceIvership.
1t should be understood that the
Washburn-Crosby company, makers
of Gold Medal Flour, are in no way
concerned with the recent Minneapolis
Touring mill receivership. The slight
similarity in names has led to some
confusion.
One need have no fear that the Gold
Medal housewives, whose pictures have
adorned the magazines and newspapers
will cease to appear. We shall see them
the same as ever. And the Washburn-
Crosby Company continue to be the
largest milling concern in the world.
Therefore, while the receivership in
question is most unfortunate, it does
not by any means concern all Mime
apolis flour mills. The Washburn-
Crosby Company, makers Of the wide
ly-advertised Gold Medal Flour,
shipped 5000 cars last year more than
their nearest competitor. And they are
f1ourishing still.

Not a great deal of activity in 1907 to-

in marked contrast to the heavy selling
OF those goods the week previous, when

tant may be it's status 10 due season. As
to the prices it may bring, there is abso-|
Iutely no figuring, SO uncertain is the to-
bacco market at large. Some trading
was done last week in 1906 goods, though
it was only jobbing business, the buy
ers, in the main, being manufacturers.
The fact remains that these goods afe
working off gradually, and there is jus
a chance of the stock being l,retty well
cleared out before the new crop can get
into competition with il Ii the latter
should happen, however, it would be
black eye for 1906 goods, Rs nobody
would care to buy those high priced
goods when they could get the cheaper
1907 tobacco. The largest sale of old
goods reported the past week was by A.
H. Sondheimer, 1l6 cases. OF the 1907
crop, George W. Kinzer sold $50 cases

cases at 1015 cents.--New Era.

There are number of men in the
market and men usually Of good ludg-
ment who predict rise in the price OF
cigar leaf tobacco, especially domestic,
within the present year. One OF these
said in the New York Leaf: "The COM
mercial slump and the unusually large
percentage of yellow and dry tobaccos
in the 1907 crop are two cumstances
which would indicate that the tobacco
trust has a special Providence looking
after it's welfare. Just when the trust
had begun to feel the squeeze of the or
ganized growers of Burley and other
hogshead leaf, the cigar leaf came along
with a heavy percentage of yellow and
dry tobaccos, which were especially suit
able as makeshift for the manufacture
of plug and smoking. The trust~was
quick to see this avenue Of escape from
the predicament which they were in and
they promptly seized the bull by the
horns. They have undoubtedly succeed
ed in getting lot of tobacco which or
dinarily would have been used for cigar
purposes and for export, but which will
lend itself admirably to their purposes,
as they need a tobacco which will ab-
sorb the licorice and favoring juices
used in making plug chewing and smok-
ing tobacco. Indirectly, however, this
novel condition is sure to rebound to the
benefit of the cigar leaf dealers. If it is
true, as / have been told. that the trust
has bought up some 100000 boxes of
low grade tobacco in Wisconsin, Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Connecticut, even
though it does run to low grades, it can
not fail to have a stiffening effect on
prices which will be felt in all cigar leaf
circles. The leaf tobacco stocks OF cigar
manufacturers are lower today than they
have been at any time in several years.
Manufacturers are buying from hand to
mouth and do not need to buy heavily,
because business is exceptionally dull IN
their line But so soon as there is a
noticeable movement toward the re-
sumption of old time business conditions
there will be scramble for leaf tobacco,
and you will see prices harden. There
is good market awaiting every pound
of cigar leaf tobacco now in sight, and it
is only question Of time, and not very
long time either, when the goods now on
hand can be sold. easily and at good
profit"

very large percentage of the tobacco

New YoRK. June 3. 1908.


There has been a perceptible uplift to
the local leaf market during the past
week. The manufacturers seem more
willing to buy, and while no large trans
actions are reported, business of consid-
cradle volume has been done each day,
and the sum total changing hands re-
Gently looks quite large after the long
siege OF inactivity that the trade has ex-
perienced. The manufacturers have
learned that the surplus stocks are not
so large as has heen thought, and this
has doubtless had its effect in producing
the desire to buy, and furthermore, the
manufacturers are generally reporting
~quite an accession of activity in their
own line. The sentiment in the trade is
that the sagging In prices has about run
it's course, as the reports of the 1907
crop have had the effect of emphasizing
the value of the old tobacco that is be-
ing offered Connecticut Broad leaf and

New York.
NEW YORK. June 6. 1908,


The leaf market continues on the'road
of improvement. This is in sympathy
with the gradual recovery of the cigar
industry from the terrific slump caused
by the panic. Although normal condi-
tions cannot be expected to prevail again
for months and months to come, the di-
minished decrease in the output of our
cigar industry serves as safe barometer
of the advent of better times. The news,
moreover, from our trade centers con-
tributes to the hopefulness of the situa-
ton. The news in our Lancaster, Pa,
letter, published in this issue, is to the
effect that 90 new factories are starting
|up and the number of the larger factor
les which had to close their doors since
the beginning of the year are opening
up again in the Ninth Pennsylvania dis
trict All this means larger demand
for leaf and if this demand is as yet in
ereasing but gradually, and not at the
jumping pace, it only goes to confirm the
conservative policy of the trade, which
served it so we'll during the late panic.
For in spite of the severity and long du-
ration of the financial strain, the trade
failures were insignificant both in. the
numb Der and amount, hardly SURPRISING
like occurrences in the prosperous times.
This, more than anything else, goes to
confirm the thorough soundness of the
trade throughout the country. Stocks
in the meantime must have been almost
depleted in the factories and this fact
lends stimulus to the hopefulness of
the market. No type is being traded in
as yet in bulk but transactions have be-
come continuous again in every type and
buyers are willing to pay prevalent
prices. For the tendency from now on
will be rather for an advance than for a
cut. journal.

The hunting for the last scattering
remnants of the '07 crop is still being
actively pushed with every indication
that the state will be cleaned as slick as
a whistle before the buyers for the trust
are called in. The disposition is TO leave
nothing that can be lifted either in
growers or packers hands. Nor is the
question OF price such vital one as the
control of the largest possible amount of
the '07 crop. just what proportion will
finally land in the storehouses of the
American Tobacco Co. cannot yet be
figured. but conservative estimates place
it above so per cent of the years growth

It will probably be a long time before
conditions shape themselves again so
that it will be possible for the American
Tobacco Co. to control IS to so per cent
of any tobacco crop grown in Wisconsin
as it is claimed that the big trust now
boasts of owning at the present time.
Such combination of circumstances all
leading up to an opportunity that may
rot occur again in lifetime. A panic
stricken market, an overload of high
priced goods carried over from the year
before by packers, and the financial
stringency making it difficult to secure
required credits were all elements that
tended to keep the independent buyers
out of the field at time when by
punching their buying forces the Ameri-
can Co. had things practically their own
way. Done too at time of year when
growers were anxious to sell the crop, it
was easily accomplished. Never before
was crop lifted so rapidly after the
prices were broken to low level and
never before were local dealers so help
less in taking hand in the movement.
The suggestion is offered what would
have become of the crop running SO
largely to low grades had not the Ameri-
can Co. come into the market and taken
such large quantities? Whose money
would or could have moved it but theirs?
While the growers may not feel that
they have been the beneficiaries in the
movement, the state has been cleaned
up and the boards are cleared for anoth-
or crop, and no old stock hanging back
in the country can in any way stand in
the way of more remunerative prices.

Singular as it may seem, the big to-
bacco trust is competing within itself
and actually advancing prices of Wiscon-
sin '07 tobacco Since the different sub
sidiary concerns are operating separate
buying departments, each eager to Sc
cure their share of the remnants of the
crop, there is some lively competition
going on and prices have gone up nearly
two cents pound in the past few weeks.

voice against the grinding process of the

Plant beds never came along so salts
factorily as they have this season, nor
have they given the growers so little
concern to produce them. Aside from
preparing the beds and wedding they
have needed but little attention. The
young plants came up quickly and have
made phenomenal growth ever since
until they are advanced far beyond the
usual season at this date. Growers with
large acreage find they must exert every
effort in preparing their fields for trans
planting or the plants will become too
large for machine use. The planting is
now well under way and suitable wealth
er conditions are only necessary to see
the crop of this state transferred to the
fields at much earlier date than usual.
This is Ger tainly good commencement,
and there need be no fear of drouth for
some weeks to come for the soil is sell
dom in better condition to receive the
young plants.
