NEW YORK. Nov. 10. 1909.

The principal event of interest this
week in the local market has been the
activity in the new Wisconsin. One firm
reports having sold 1000 cases to East
ern manufacturers within week after
having received samples. The tobacco
is said to meet with favor from the
purchasers. There has been some ac-
tivity in New England in the buying of
the new Connecticut Broad leaf, and
the prices that ruled earlier in the sea-
son have been maintained.
Sumatra. Manufacturers have been
buying rather more freely of Sumatra
this week than for some time past, and
their Investigations into market condi-
tions have brought to light the fact
that light Sumatra is rather scarce, and
good Sumatra is going to cost consider
ably more than they have been in the
habit of paying.
Havana. The local market has been
the scene of considerable activity in the
past few days, inquiry being strong,
and the demand for goods Immediately
usable continuing unabated. The sup
ply of desirable types is none too large,
and rightly or wrongly the trade
seems doubtful of next years crop,
owing to the storm devestations. Leaf.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 1909


The market this week was fairly ac-
tive in nearly all types of leaf. Chiefly
so, however, in Wisconsin binders of
which two packings totaling 1900 cases
in bulk were sold to two manufacture
ing firms. With the big sales of Wis
consin the previous week and this week
the pace has been set for active trad
ing in that commodity. It won't be
long now before similar activity will
seize upon the filler crops of last year.
In wrapper leaf the demand for Suma-
ira is keeping up steadily For Florida
leaf demands are also increasing. The
Havana market is holding out briskly.
Inasmuch as the market in Cuba has
been well-nigh cleaned of any available
leaf and particularly so of Partidos the
demand for supply has assumed much
larger proportions in our local market.
The price certainly is still reasonable,
in fact it can be safely predicted there
will be very perceptibe advance on
this years Havana crops.
Christmas orders are coming along in
good shape and the November and
early December business will probably
show a big improvement in production.
A number of New York manufacturers
are figuring upon considerable exten-
sions in the near fnture, but a good
deal will depend upon the pulse of the
market when the holiday trade is
through with. Journal.

livery, and another damp spell will see
the bulk of the crop down and stripped.
Now that the crop has been dampened
and taken down, it shows up better
than | ever expected it would. The
leaf is thin and elastic, but the colors
run little dark, and there will be more
dark and medium than / like to see in
the crop, and the buyers are little
disappointed about the colors, but with
the shortage in the market and the
price at which it was bought, | think
the buyer will be able to sell so that
the loss will be nothing, but the profits
will be less than their dreams had led
them to expect. But if the sales are
slow, there is one thing that will hap
pen, those holes in the walls called
markets will not show SO much empty
space as during some time past, and
may be they will be able to put it into
the export class.-Cultivator

LANCASTER, IA, NOV. ., 1SUJ.
Very little selling of old tobacco took
place last week, because there is little
to sell, and even in 1908 goods, in which
the market was so active awhile, few
transactions were reported. The local
tobacco packers believe these goods
will be selling at 20 cents by the first
of the new year, and they are not in
clined to dispose of goods now that are
ON the jump. Some has sold recently
at 18 cents, but the general selling
price is 16 to IL cents.
Interest centers now in the new crop,
and any news about this tobacco is
eagerly gathered up by the packers.
The reports as to how the new crop is
curing are very conflicting, but as
rule the growers insist that it will cure
all right. While the leaves are small,
they think they will have nice lot of
filler goods The growers are asking
all the way from IL to Is cents a pound
for their tobacco, prices the packers
say are beyond all reason, but the
growers are quite confident of getting
these prices. The only sale so far re-
ported was by John Musser, of Chest
nut Hill, East Hempfeld township, who
sold 43 acres to Samuel Mumma for 10
cents a pound New Era.

EDGERToN, WIS, Nov. 19, 1909.
What work ther is going on towards
lifting the balance of the '09 tobacco is
mainly being done by the American To-
bacco Co. who have their buyers posted
in nearly every growing section Of the
state and taking over what crops they
can induce growers to part with at
prices generally under the seven cent
limit. So far it has been rather up hill
work to break down former prices to
these figures, but in the aggregate a
small army of buyers in the field have
been able to secure q good many hum
dred acres.
Just fair business is being done in
the cured leaf markets. The bulk of
the large transactions in Wisconsin leaf
of late have occurred in the eastern
markets and the 'O8 especially is bring
ing quite satisfactory prices. There is
strong inquiry in the local markets
for the cheaper grades of all years
where price is the determining feature,
but even this class of goods is pretty
well disposed of. A lot of 287cs of '06
from the Madden Bros. packing has
been sold during the week. A buyer
from the Chrystal Leaf Tobacco Co. of
Pittsburg has also picked up about 200
cases in local markets. A number OF
smaller transactions are also reported
aside from the usual trade on manu-
facturers' orders.
The shipments out of storage reach
662 cases from this market to all points
for the week.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

Recent casing weather has placed the
hanging tobacco into condition that it
might be removed from the poles if
growers were so disposed, but it is ex-
tremely doubtful if very much has been
taken down, especially if they consult
the wishes of the buyers at large who
hold contracts on a large proportion of
the crop. The general impression
among packers is that the crop ought
not to be stripped for some time yet.
There are so many stems, especially in
the late harvested portion, that the
stalks ought to remain hanging until
well towards spring before it is advis-
able to place the leaf into bundles. The
greatest care should be employed in the
handling of the 1909 crop, as the leaf
is delicate in texture, calling for unus-
ual painstaking in preparing it for mar
ket and the bundling of high case or
wet stems is very liable to stain or
damage leaf that otherwise would be
entirely satisfactory. The longer the
stalk stays in the shed the safer the
grower will be from these difficulties,
as freezing is likely to take out the ex-
cess moisture these stems now contain.
Several firms are sending out sugges
tions embodying their views regarding
stripping and preparing the crop for
delivery and they quite generally agree
that the growers ought to allow their
tobacco to remain on the poles as long
as possible, even if they forego the
usual holiday money that comes very
handy about that time of the year.
The chances for early deliveries, there
fore, for these reasons, are not ex-
tremely bright.

The effects of last season s drouth are
so apparent that the new crop of Penn
sylvania tobacco has not moved much
as yet. There are several very good
reasons why the crop is not doing well
on the poles. A large amount of it was
cut green, and since it was put into the
shed the weather has been unfavorable
to curing. Most of the crop is curing
green, and along with other failings is
the small size of the leaves. Tobacco
of even twenty inches is scarce, the
bulk being much below that. What the
trade needs most are good BIS, and the
packers now realize that Lancaster
county will not give them from this
years crop. A little, and only little,
new tobacco has been bought, being
isolated crops, where the grower need
ed cash, and they were bought for ten
cents.

An analysis of the governmental crop
report, showing the average yield per
acre OF tobacco raised in the United
States in 1909, is interesting, particuv
larry in view of the fact that it is
coupled with the announcement of "a
phenomenal increase in the quantity of
tobacco of all kinds produced this year.
While, at first blush, this might seem
to controvert the statement hitherto
made of decrease in the quantity of
cigar leaf produced in this years crop,
it is, nevertheless, true that in spite of
the enormous crop of tobacco raised for
smoking, plug and cigarette purposes,
the cigar leaf is smaller in quantity
than for many years. The increase in
other kinds of tobacco than cigar leaf
is due to larger acreages. In Massach-
usetts the yield per acre for this year
is 1900 pounds, against 1850 for last
year. In Connecticut this years yield
is 1850 pounds, against 1880 for last
year. In New York, where the acre
age is decreased this year, the yield
per acre is the same as last years, 1175
pounds. In Pennsylvania the yield per
acre fell off this year from 1926 pounds
to 985, and the tobacco area is smaller
than last years by 1000 acres. In
Florida the yield per acre fell off from
$50 to 7l0 pounds, and, as has been
previously announced, the acreage is
about half of last years. In Wiscon-
sin the yield per acre is 1175 pounds for
this year, against 1130 for last year.
In Ohio the yield increased from $40 to
925 pounds. Owing to the fact that the
government makes no differentiation in
its report between the cigar leaf and
other types, it is difficult to estimate
just what effect this has on the cigar
leaf production, though it is understood
that the cigar leaf acreage of that state
is larger than last years.

Bread and nPiaeony Seed.

School children in the crowded
parts of New York do not speak of
corn and oats and wheat by those

seeds The other day in one of
the big schools the teacher was talk-

She ended with request for each
pupil to bring a few seeds the next
day to be planted in the window
boxes. The following morning the
children appeared mostly with either
oats, wheat or corn. While putting
few grains of each in the earth the
teacher referred to them by their fa-
miliar names. One of the girls in
the class took courage to ''set the
teacher right" and said: Some one
