At last the strong, cold winds have
apparently left US for awhile, and we can
fully enjoy the quiet of this April wealth
er. The tobacco beds are sown, and a
few are reporting their plants showing
above ground.
There will be some cases where lit
tie less acreage will be grown, SO as to ac-
commodate the growers to the proper
amount of shed room, but the shrinkage
will be only from one-half to one acre,
for the pole sweat was something fearful
in some of the early cut tobacco.
Our correspondents report as follows:
Bradstreet, Mass: "Belden Bros. have
sold II cases of their packing for from 8
to 10c in the cases. Plants are looking
well on the early sown beds: the Belden
Bros. have plants that are as large as
ten cent piece Charles Marsh has his
plants up and looking WELL" Hatfield,
Mass: II hear that down in the old
street setting is very probable to begin
as soon as the middle of May" West

The long hoped for revival of business
in the domestic leaf tobacco market
seems as far off as ever; ard in point of
actual sales, the past week has been
very Disappointing one. The dealers are
basing their hope of improved conditions
upon the fact that manufacturers are
known to~be short of stocks, and that
the 1907 crop did not turn out normal
ly large quantity of good serviceable to-
bacco. There is some buying going on
in the country. but it is a slow process,
as the buyers are very cautious and are
not paying the prices that were obtained
by the growers last year and the year
before.
Sumatra. The new Sumatra that has
been brought over from Amsterdam
within the past few weeks occupies the
center OF interest, and great deal of
''looking" has been going on. Some sales
are reported, but at best only small
quantity has changed hands. Leaf.

looking for customers. The only sale OF
any moment reported was by Seisel &
Tole, Is cases of 1906 goods. Little was
heard of the new crop last week, though
buying is still going on. There appears
to be no standard price, now, and the
growers are making the best bargain
they can. A good deal of1tobacco is now
being delivered daily at the warehouses,
the farmers appearing anxious to get
shut of their last years crop in order to
have free hand with the crop ahead.
The weather has not been favorable for
the seed beds, but as the shoots are pro-
tected, those that are up, no. harm has
been done, though the growth will be
delayed.

NEW YORK, April 20, 1908.
A somewhat better feeling is begin
ming to manifest itself in our leaf mar
ket. This, not so much on account of
any big transactions which are still sore
ly wanting, but because Of the reappear-
ance of quite number of manufactur-
ers and out of town jobbers in the mar
ket whose persistent inquiries at least,
for stock are raising the hopes for actual
transactions. In small way business
has been quite steady. The types OF the
new Sumntra show up pretty WE'LL Its
most prominent defect seems to be the
little holes with which it is punctured,
but that will hardly intefere with it's
yielding capacity. Its texture is of the
usual elastic style. No doubt our Amer
lean importers have so far picked up the
best in the offered lots and as it looks
now that there will be about 10000
bales less imported this year than there
was last, both the old stock and the new
importations will hardly be sufficient for
an ample wrapper supply even of a
largely reduced cigar output this year.
Some slight indications are discernible
of revival of activity in the metropoli-
tan cigar manufacturing industry. The
demand, though still far behind the
same period of last year, is slowly catch
ing up and it may be that the summer
will not be such bad one. Two houses
have shut down their factories at Tam
pa and Key West respectively, and are
running with their New York factories
alone, while there is general disposi-
ton to work up as little stock as posi-
bic and only produce what is necessary
to meet immediate requirements.-Jour-

At the rate tobacco is coming to this
market for delivery at the local ware
houses and shipment to other points, it
will be but few days before our coun-
try districts will be relieved of pretty
much all the 1907 crop. The low
prices of past weeks still prevail.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGRRToN, WIS, May /, 100

EOGHnION, w l5.s may L, lOOOs
The buying movement is still progress
ing in all sections, though the volume of
sales is falling off somewhat, as it re-
gEires more riding to reach scattering
lots. But everything is being taken over
that can be secured under cent limit
which most buyers are working under.
The better grades of assorted lots find a
market at stronger prices, and altogeth-
er the crop is fast being absorbed. It is
reported that 80 per cent of the crop in
the Vernon county district has been sold
and in the southern district the fraction
remaining is not large. The following
sales show the range of prices taken:

The crop is being received about as
fast as purchased; some is, however, be-
ing weighed up on the farms to be deliv-
cred later. Over 200 car loads have been
sent out of the state il bundles the past
few weeks to stemmeries. Warehouse
handling is still dragging on account of
the scarcity of help and promises to ex-
tend into the summer months.
Packers report somewhat better de-
mand for old leaf but sales so far are
limited.
The shipments out of storage reach
$50 cases to all points from this market
for the week. From outlying points 60
car loads have been received.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

That the American Tobacco Co. and
its subsidiary concerns should have tax
en- such large portion of the '07 crop
by all odds the largest purchase they
have ever made in any Wisconsin crop
has raised the inquiry of what uses they
can put such large quantity of tobacco
running so heavily to low grade types.
From business standpoint any tobacco
is good purchase when it can be bought
cheap enough, and it cannot be denied
that the Americans holdings of the
present crop cost less money than any
ever before bought in this state. The
quality of the goods seemed exactly suit
able for scrap and cheroot manufact-
uring purposes, and what matters it to
the big trust if they lay in supply for
two or three years if the price was cheap
enough? The price of the raw leaf was
so much less than what the concern has
paid for cigar cuttings the past two
years, it is quite likely Wisconsin leaf
Will be su suhstltuteo In place or cuttings
quite largely in scrap manufacturing,
for it is alleged to answer the purpose
better thah cigar cuttings which are often
too finely broken. Then again, il the
substituting can be made to go still
further and displace some of the south
ern high priced leaf, then wide field is
opened up for enormous quantities of
Wisconsin stock which the trust is ac-
cumulating. Just how near our guess
meets the present situation we leave
our readers to judge. Two things are
absolutely certain, the trust was early at
the bargain counter and it liked the
goods.

The organizing of the Federal Cigar
Co. as new subsidiary concern to the
American Tobacco Co., launched for the
manufacture of little cigars and cheroots,
seems to have been the cause Of the
rumor that the big trust was TO dissolve,
which the officials announce as being
without foundation. The explanation
of the way the story OF the approaching
dissolution of the American Tobacco Co.
came to be published is as follows: The
American Cigar Co. had three factories
in Richmond, Va. Jersey City and Lam
caster, Pa, respectively, where all OF
their little cigars are manufactured
Last week these factories were closed
down for few days IN order to take in
ventories and the like preparatory TO
turning them over to the Federal Cigar
Co. The Federal Cigar Co. is new
corporation which We are starting up
for. the manufacture of package goods,
little cigars, cheroots, etc. Previously
these were manufactured by the Ameri-
can Cigar Co.. but we decided that this
department. could be more effectively
conducted as separate corporation.

This parer has previously referred to
the row that broke out among the fac
tions in the American Society of Equity
at the annual convention in October last,
resulting in a division of the ranks and
the deposing of President Everitt, pub
Usher of the official paper. The success
full faction in a new organ published
some very serious charges against Mr..
Everitt and his administration of the
affairs of the society. He was charged
nth many misdemeanors including mis-
management of the society while he was
it's president and head. These things
were charged or insinuated against him
before, and at the October, 1907, conven-
tion, but he was prevented from facing
his accusers at the convention. This
led to an action for libel brought by Mr..
Everitt, which was lately brought to
trial in Chicago before jury which
brought in verdict of guilty against
the offending parties. Mr.. Everitt now
thinks himself vindioated, but the So
ciety has been pretty thoroughly dis
rupted by the row.

The Kentucky legislature, just ad-
journed, succeeded in passing some Curl
Gus laws. One of these provides penal
ties up to $3.50 for the buying or selling
of pledged tobacco, and companion law
providing for fine of 800 to $500 for
the sale or transfer of property where
the possession is in one person and the
title in another. Both these laws are
intended to protect the Equity pooling
arrangement. The cap sheaf was what
is known as the McChord bill, further
relating to the sales of leaf tobacco. 1t
is freely predicted that if this law is en-
forced there will be general exodus of
tobacco manufacturers from the state.
Such move, it is stated, will not only
work to the detriment of Louisville as a
tobacco market, but will absolutely and
irrevocably impair the tobacco manu-
featuring industry of the state by driv-
ing some of the largest concerne that
have been doing business in Louisville
and elsewhere to other states, where
drastic legislation against their interests
does not exist.
