WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. WIS. Nav 21. 10

EDGERToN, Wis, May q, 1909.
So far as evidence collected at the
local markets is concerned, the buying
movement seems practically at an end.
A scattering sale is occasionally being
made, but nowhere does there appear
to be any effort made to add to the
present holdings of the 1908 crop. A
few of the warehouses at the packing
points are yet in operation and have
some stock for few weeks more
handling, but the season is near to a
close. The American Tobacco Co. has
commenced stemming operations at
their Madison plant, and one or two
other firms contemplate this work later.
The market for old leaf has develop
ed no new features during the week,
sales being confined to small lots gen.
orally to supply pressing needs of the
manufacturers. The most important
transaction, however, for some time
has been closed, the sale of about 1000
cases of the Mcintosh packing of 'O6
at Lacrosse to We'll & Culton.
The weather of the week is becom-
ing more seasonable and growers are
fast catching up with their delayed
farm work. Tobacco plants are now
making considerable progress, the more
forward beds are being weeded and a
few warm days are sure to bring them
forward very rapidly. The general
outlook, however, is for rather late
transplanting season.
The shipments out of storage reach
338 cases to all points for the week
past. Since last report IL cars have
been received from outside points for
warehouse handling.

Tobacco plants in the seed beds have
made splendid progress in the Connec-
ticut valley the past week which has
brought the first really seasonable
weather since seeding began. Plans of
growers are now sufficiently settled to
show conclusively that the 1909 acreage
will be slightly smaller than that of
last year; that there will be no falling
off in the area set to Broad leaf; that
there will be an increase in the acreage
Of tent-grown leaf which is gradually
regaining lost ground; that the Cooley,
Brewer and other hybrids may hold
their own but that growers are not yet
ready to accept hybridization as the
cure-all for all unsatisfactory features
of the crops of recent years; that as
regards Havana Seed leaf reduced
acreage is certainty.
Farm help, despite improved indus
trial conditions, is more plentiful this
year than for several years past. Most
of the tobacco warehouses have finished
the season s work and the crop is in the
sweat rooms going through the last
stages before being ready for market.
Sales already made indicate profitable
market from the packers standpoint,
though hardly so from the point of view
of the average grower. Growers COM
plain bitterly that the present season
has been the worst IN their experience
In this respect.

The leaf tobacco trade is as dull as
ever, and the local packers have plenty
of leisure for looking after other affairs
they may have. The slight revival in
the cigar industry appears confined to
the larger factories, and the business
at these places brings no business to
the packers, as the big manufacturers
have their own stocks of leaf. So far
there has been no changes in the prices
of old leaf.
The weather lately has been favor
able to the growing seed beds and some
plants are reported to have leaves as

The is no improvement in market
conditions. Sales continue to be con-
fined to limited quantities. In fact
there is not ample stock enough in the
market for speculative operations.
Prices seem firm for all kinds of leaf
and those who are in search of stock
are ready to pay the market value, well
knowing that deferring purchases would
mean higher prices. These conditions
are likely to prevail till the fall season
sets in, when, it may be. safely pre-
dicted, the market will again hustle
with an old-t time activity.
Out-of-town orders are beginning tc
pick up, but local demand is still weak.
Several factories have curtailed their
production owing to lack of orders.

The fact was brought out in report
of the insurance committee made at
the annual meeting of the National Ci-
gar Leaf Association held at Baltimore
last week that an inquiry into losses on
cigar leaf tobacco and it's products,
made by insurance experts, showed
that during the past twenty years that
these losses amounted to but one per
cent of the premiums paid. And yet
tobacco is considered an extra hazard
risk and the rates fixed accordingly.

The local market has been quite in
active this week, owing partly to the
absence during the earlier part of the
week of many dealers from the city,
and the fact that interest has centered
in the actions of the convention of the
National Leaf Tobacco Association in
Baltimore. Trade reports are unani-

business has been done, even the usual

The growers generally have their
seed beds under good headway, the
weather for the last week or so having
been favorable for the development of
the seed. About the second week in
June should see planting in progress.
April will go down in farming annals
as the windiest month of the name
since 1879. The total wind movement
recorded was 7,521 miles, the closest to
the record, $500, for April, 1879. The
high winds accompanying the snowfall
at the close of the month caused much
heartburning to many growers whose
seedlings were just beginning to peep
over ground, promising well. The dam
age done, however, was less than was
at first reported.
