The internal revenue returns for the
month of January are published. On
perusing the figures it will be crafty
ing to note that every branch of tobac
co manufacture shows an increase over
the same month of 1908, except that of
little cigars. Regular cigars show an
increase of 6, 1886, 800. That little cigars
fell off over million may not be the
most cheerful information for those
who manufacture that class of goods
exclusively, but when applied as an IN
dication of trade conditions it is fav-
orable sign. It is pretty generally es-
tablished that in times of depression
many smokers of large cigars drop
down to the short-smoke class. OBJ
versely, when the little cigars fall off
in consumption and big cigars increase
contemporaneously, it certainly sug-
gests decline in the tendency to econ
omize and can easily be interpreted IS
a harbinger of better times.

New YORK, March 6, 1909.


The leaf market last week was not
particularly lively. If, however, the
cigar industry should take a sudden
flight upwards the local leaf market
would hardly be in condition to re-
spond to it with sufficient supply. An
inquiry has revealed the astounding re-
suit in an almost incredible deficiency
of the domestic filler and binder stock.
Of the many large packing houses in
the market there is but one that has a
stock Of thousand cases of both 1906
and 1907 Pennsylvania and likewise but
one house that has stock of over a
thousand cases of both 1906 and 1907
Wisconsin, and there is none that has
as much as thousand cases of Zim-
mer's. The stocks on hand in the diff
ferent houses of all kinds of domestic
filler and binder leaf range from about
two to five hundred cases. And the
aggregate total of all these types would
sum up to about eight to nine thousand
boxes. With such depletion Of filler
and binder stock the market has hardly
ever been confronted before, but the
result of this Investigation only bears
out the repeated statements made in
this place since last fall that the trade
will have to face steadily rising mar
ket and that the bargain hunter will
find no inducement in it, at least not
during the current year. journal.

NEW YORK. March 8. 1909.

During the latter part of the week
5000 cases of 1906 and 1907 Gebhardt
were purchased by one concern, this
constituting the largest operation in
this market since the boom days before
the panic. With the exception of two
or three holders of limited quantities of
1906 Gebhardt, who decline to sell at
prices offered, this crop has almost dis
appeared from the market. The 1906
Gebhardt, it will be remembered, cost
the packers in the neighborhood Of 175
or 13 cents. The American Cigar Co.
have taken from the market about $500
cases of Gebhardts and Pennsylvania,
and about 1900 cases of other varieties
have gone into the hands of manufac-
turers. Another transaction worthy of
note was the sale of 1900 cases of Wis
,consin binders, constituting all of the
1905 and 1906 holdings of one of the
larger houses. This sale, it is said, re-
moved from the market the last pourd
of 1905 Wisconsin. Little Dutch is a
scarce article, and is commanding fancy
figures. Tobacco that a few months
ago could be bought for II to 13 cents
now is quoted at from 16 to II. Prices

tinue to harden, and the local market,
as we'll as the growing sections, is be-

been put through recently, and holders
of good types of this variety are feeling
better than they have for some time
past. Leaf.

The prospect is that nearly an aver
age acreage will be set this season, un-
mindful of last years prices. The crop
of 1908 has nearly all been removed
from the farmers hands, either by sale
or has been put into the shops to be as
sorted, sweat and sold by them. Some
local packers have sold their seasons

has been taking over more tobacco;
during the past week they have loaded
two cars at South Deerfield and one at
North Hatfield, some of it pretty low
in price.
Our correspondents report as follows:

The only business the local leaf to-
bacco dealers did the past week was
with the cigar manufacturers, and as
the cigar industry is very dull now, the
same as it has been for weeks, the
trading in old goods was not brisk. So
far there is no appearance of the cigar
trade picking up.
Some of the packers say there is
more new tobacco unsold than is gen.
orally supposed, statement that ap-
pears to be borne out by the reports of
sales still being made. One of these
packers positively declared that he
could easily get a thousand cases in two
or three days if he wanted that much
new goods. The prices being paid for
the 1903 tobacco range from 10 to II
cents, with 103 to IL cents the prevail

A decided decline in the buying move

of the country roads, though it is ap-
parent the large operators have taken
their men out of the field for the sea-

of the crop will be left for the small
concerns to take over, in which event
competition does not promise to be
strong. Prices, however, remain about

The packing season is drawing to

ises to be general at most of the pack
ing points for some weeks yet.

Does the reader imagine, had the
truth been told about the management
of the Equity pools three months ago,
would any growers be willing to pool
again this year? And yet by keeping
the real condition of affairs quiet farm
ers have been induced to bring several
thousand cases to the Equity ware
houses this season. 1t is to be hoped
they will have better luck in selling
next time, but after all the items of
expense chargeable against the tobacco
are settled for, the chances are against
the grower realizing any better figures
than he would have secured in the bum
die and escaped all dangers of damage
in carrying over the crop. And should
this tobacco remain in store at the
packing points after May 1st next it
will be subject to taxation and the
farmer will certainly learn what it

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

No one knows better what it cost to
pack and hold tobacco year or two
waiting for satisfactory market than
those packers who went in over their
ears in the 1906 crop. The items of
shriRkage, interest, taxes, insurance
and storage never appeared so large to
them nor counted up so fast. Such
charges on tobacco costing as much as
the '06 crop takes more than two cents
per pound every year it is carried over.
1t is the piling up of just such simple
items that makes it possible for pack
ers to sustain losses of $40 or more per
case on much of the 1906 that has been
sold during the past year. 1t is some
thing, too, that the average grower sell
dom thinks about unless he joins some
OF these Equity pools, and then when
the returns from the sale of his crop
come in he is very likely to learn what
the expense of carrying tobacco crop
means, and these expenses often deter
mine the difference between a profit or
a loss.
In a great measure it is because the
promoters of the Equity pooling have
not taken proper account of the ex-
penses above mentioned that the man.
agernent has been unable to make it
profitable for the growers who patron
lied the pool in '07, as the writer will
attempt to show.
From about 1900 cases of the '07
crop which went into the Equity pools
and packed as grades at various points,
something like 5000 cases have been
sold, and from the best information we
have been able to secure, 700 cases of
the tops brought IL cents, 1900 cases Of
damaged s cents, 1000 cases of rags and
badly damaged cents, all sold at scale
weight. This is an average of a trif1e
over 81 cents. Now let us see what
this means to the grower after expenses
have been deducted. First of all the
shrinkage must be taken into account.
A case packed 300 pounds, when sold a
yeaR later will aave shrunk 20 per cent,
or in other words you will have only
240 pounds of tobacco to sell at scale
weight. Thus 240 pounds at 81 cents
brings $3.50. Now let us see what the
charges are. The Equity warehouse
expense first to be paid is q cents on
300 pounds or $6.75. Expense of sam
pling $1.OO. Commission for selling so
cents per box, making the total charge
per case of 1925, without taking into
account the cost of insurance or inter
est which some growers might have in
Cured from holding their crop over the
season. Deduct $825 from $3.50 and
you have $11.55 as the net returns for
300 pounds of tobacco. This is equiva-
lent to 1856 cents per pound in the bun
die. Here you have in cold figures the
profits promised growers who patron
lied the Equity pools.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1909-03-12

In all fairness, however, it ought to
be stated that the unusual amount of
damage in the '07 crop is in measure
accountable for the poor showing made.
There are also several hundred cases of
reasonably sound pooled tobacco yet to
be sold, which will help out the state
ment, but in no event can it change a
loss into profit or bring to the growers
as much as they could realize by selling
in the bundle which they might have
done had not Equity agitators through
glowing promises induced them to join
the pool. This paper has frequently
urged the management of the tobacco
department to make public a statement
showing how it was helping the grow
ers to additional profits, and in it's fail
ure to do so we deem it due the public
that it should know just what has been
doing. The figures we submit, criticise
as, you like, but in the main they will
be found to be reasonably accurate.

JULY DIVORCE CROP.
Three Wives Who Would Have Mar
itaI Ties Severed.

The June wedding crop was short,
but the July divorce crop promises
to be a good one. The latest petitions
for operations of social surgery, are,
Sarah Mckinney against Lee McKin-
ney. Lillian Rains against Henry M.
Rains and Anna Pierce Lyons against
James w. Lyons.
Mrs. Mckinney states in her petit
ton that she was married to the de-
PENDANT 80 years ago, and that they
have ten children, three of them min
ors. Defendant Mckinney is a
Santa Fe Waterman, according to the
petition, who spends his S55 per
month for strong drink and disorderly
living, and totally fails to provide in
any way for the plaintiff. She says
that he is guilty of extreme cruelty
without provocation, and is an habit
ual drunkard. In fact, when the pc
tition gets through with the Defen-
dant Mckinney, his reputation is
badly perforated.
Lillian Rains married Henry NJ.
Rains in 1885. Three years ago he
abandoned her, and went to Missouri
where 1t is not SO dry. She feels that
his protracted absence is sufficient
cause for divorce.
The petition states that Anna Pierce
Lyons married James W. Lyons in
1904, but as the petition further states
that two children, aged 10 and IL,
were born to this union, her attorney
probably intended to write 1t 1884"
The belief that mistake in the date
was made, is heightened by Mr..
Lyons alleged record. He couldn't
