The plants are living very we'll, and
are starting off in pood shape. Some of
the early set fields show up well for the
time of year. Some Of the leaves are as
large as mans hand.
The buyers have made another show,
this time doing considerable business at
the old street and taking in all about 800
cases and at better prices than were Of
fered earlier in the reason by at least l. Is
cents to the pound. So we see our pre-
dictions are about to be fulfilled, and
this is one reason they find the tobacco
packed and showing better than most OF
the farmers had thought possible, and
they also find it is In the hands Of men
who are capable of holding the crop for
these better prices, and finally they real

packers are depleted to such an extent
that it needs to be re enforced that they

obliged to replenish their sloeas ia afasr

The purchase of 1000 cases of 1906
Wisconsin by large manufacturing con-
Germ is the only transaction of impor-
tance that has occurred locally during
the week ending today. The prices paid
have not been made public. The routine
business that has been going on for
some weeks still continues, the buying
being done mainly by manufacturers
who are in need of immediate stocks. It
has been known all along that the policy
of the manufacturers has been to hold
off in this particular as long as possible
believing that they would be able to
supply their needs later at more reason
able figures. A great many of them
have come to the end of their row, SO far
as leaf supply is concerned, and still
they hesitate about investing largely.
However, the sum total of their activi-
ties for the past few weeks has been
sufficient to give better tone to the mar
ket, and the local leaf dealers have felt
very much encouraged over the improv-
ed state of affairs. During the past
week there has been considerable activ-
ity in Ohio, where the last crop is being
cleane up 1t is stated that prices have
increased considerably since the buying
movement set in there. The buying of
low grades by the American Cigar Co.
still continues.-Leaf

The buying movement is slowly taper
ing off, as only occasional lots remain in
growers hands now. Recent sales are
largely from packers and mainly of low
grade order for the account of the Amer
ican Tobacco Co. A few small packings
have also been transferred to them dur
ing the week and possibly 100000 pounds
of bundle leaf from local warehouses.
S. G. Chambers also disposed of fair
sized lot
The demand for cured leaf is improv-
ing and the sale OF an Orfordville pack
ing is reported at quite satisfactory fig
ures.
The planting of the new crop is pro-
ceeding quite satisfactorily, many grow
ers having finished this work, while
others are farther along than usual at
this time of the year. The weather con-
ditions are everywhere favorable to an
excellent stand in the fields.
The shipments out of storage reach
1125 cases from this market to all points
for the week past; 46 car loads were re-
ceived from outside points.

New YORK, June 20, 1908.


Market conditions remain about the
same as for the past few weeks. There
are inquiries and demand for nearly
every type of leaf, and nearly every type
of leaf is selling in small and limited
quantities but the aggregate sums up a
considerable total. A decided improve
ment and steady forward movement,
however, cannot be expected as long as
the output of our cigar industry is still
running largely behind the figures of
last and the previous year. The month
Of May for which the internal revenue
receipts gre published ia this issue was
not particularly encouraging one for
the trade; for it's output shows a de-
crease in nearly every branch of our
cigar and tobacco industries, making in
this respect comparatively worse show
ing than every month since October last.
Although the falling off of the output of
large cigars was only eighty-one and
three quarter millions, the output of lit
tie cigars shows also decrease of over
twelve millions and half, and even the
cigarette which has braced the storm OF
the panic with the staunchest fortitude
is all at once being credited with fall
ing off of over twenty millions. These
are surely not the most cheerful signs of
complete trade recovery. But from
the general reduction of the output in
all branches the inference would seem
at least justified that the output of large
cigars with which the welfare of the leaf
market is chiefly concerned is gradually
recovering it's status with the smokers. =

The expectation of having the tobacco
for the 1908 crop planted before the mid
die OF June has not been fulfilled, and
there is still good deal of planting to
be doGe. One cause Of delay was the
scarcity of plants ia some sections. due
to backward beds, and another cause
was the lack of rain. Those whose plants
and ground happened to be ready before
the dry spell were able to plant, while
less fortunate growers had TO plant when
they could The ravages of cut worms

For nearly week, in a small way,
farmers have been setting tobacco plants
and the work is now commencing in
quite general run. This is somewhat
earlier than in most years. The plants
have had good growth and from size
of plant beds one would naturally think
that the acreage must be UP to the aver
age year.
Work is still on in some of our local
warehouses and other packing points of
the state. The local Equity society pool
has finished work at the Kalvestran
warehouse and the Censor is informed
that some tempting offers have been re-
ceived, and sales made by that society of
the filters and binders, prices ranging
from three and half to five cents per
pound.-Censor.
