Some of the local leaf tobacco packers
are now falling into line with outside
buyers, aid have begun buying up the
new crop They find it much to their
liking, too, good deal of it, and appear
to be paying what the market warrants.
There is no indiscriminate buying,
though, as in former years, when pack
ers bought just to have tobacco, but the
buyers are DOW exercising their judg-
ment to get the kind of goods they think
will bring in a profit. While weFhave
heard OF some tobacco bringing Il and
4 cents, and more that commanded 10
and 4, the greater part OF the sales have
been at s and 2 cents and lover. In
spite of the unfavorable travelling wealth
er of last week, the packers were out in
considerable mum bers, riding the coun-
try and spotting desirable crops. There
was considerable buying, too. The
weather, lately, has been what was
needed for stripping and the growers
have been busy at the work. The new
tobacco, in spite of shorter and narrower
leaves than the crops Of recent years
have been producing, is heavy, and the
claim is made that it will produce more
pounds to che acre than did the tobacco
of 1905. If this is the case the growers
will fare much better than they had rea-
son to hope, as increased weight will
help them some for the lower prices
The local leaf market was very duh
last week, outside of few considerable
sales New Era.

Business is not picking up quite salts
factorily in the leaf market. The de-
preston continues to a certain extent
both in regard to the quantity of stock
sold and to the price at which it is being
disposed of. While for choice lots the
value is practically maintained, cutting
and slashing of prices is going on on me-
diuin and lower grades But even the
incentive of price cutting does not seem
to attract large Investments on the part
of the manufacturers And naturally SO.
Manufacturers are not concerned now
with the question of how cheap they can
get their raw material, but of how to
keep and boost up their own business.
For there is no denying the fact that our
cigar Industry is still concentrating
backwards and declining industry is
neither in position nor mood to make
investments for future use, even IN bar
gains. Only in a rising market, when
every body is trying TO get under cover,
speculative purchases are the order of
the day. and that regardless of price. In
falling market the instability OF the
price is more preventative than stimula-
tive for investment. But these condi-
tions are bound TO rectify themselves in
course of time. While it is hardly ex-
pected that the market will reach its
former level in the near future the out
put of our cigar industry, even if it
should shrink in proportion OF the in
crease, which it experienced during the
mast four or five years, would still remain
tremendous enough to absorb quantity
of raw leaf by at least 80 per cent. more
than it did when it commenced to start
ten years ago on its career OF unparal-
leled expansion.
Some slight improvement is noticeable

The representative for the American
Society of Equity appeared as advertised
at the city hall, Monday afternoon, and
after an extended talk on the objects
and merits of the association, made an
effort to perfect an organization here.

SOLDIERS GROVE, WIS, Feb. 20, 1908.
Several tobacco buyers have been here
this week and a number of crops have
been bought and will be delivered next
week The Bekkedal firm have been the
principal buyers, having secured several
crops near Yankeetown, among which is
the D. Mulligin crop at 6&2c, and the

The buying of the 1907 crop is pro-
crossing quietly in nearly all sections
which in the aggregate is moving quite
sized portions of the crop. The general
trend of prices is low and yet growers
accept them without much protest. ap.
parently anxious to dispose of their
holdings before opening of their spring
work. We learn that quite a little to-
bacco is being moved in the Vernon
county sections at prices but slightly
above that paid in other localities.
Sales reaching us cover only small
fraction of the transactions, but show
the range of prices:
