A conference of the independent to-
bacco manufacturers was held in Gin
cinnati recently when the question of
proceeding against the Burley society
of Kentucky for the violation of the
Sherman antitrust law, in the event
that the Burley society succeeded in
forming pool and debating the price
of the present crop, was discussed.
The opinion seemed to prevail that they
would have no difficulty in making an
action hold in the courts.
The u. S. Tobacco Journal is certain
the new tariff law plays directly into
the hands.of the trust, we should Judge
by the following quotation from re-
cent issue: '1As correctly predicted
months ago the United Cigar Stores
Co. has been the first and is likely to
remain the chief beneficiary of Presi-
dent Taft's treacherous course towards
our domestic cigar industry in the free
admission of one hundred and fifty mil
lion Philippine cigars. In three days it
disposed of three million Manila cigars,
all they had stored in bond for release,
the moment the president affixed his
signature with exceeding gratifica-
ton to the Philippine free trade act.
AS the export value of Manila cigars
has officially been reported to average
$9.31 per NJ, the average retail price
of 5 cents per piece would mean profit
of 400 per cent on Manila cigars to the
United Cigar Stores Co. But who else
will share in these profits by the grace
Of the Hon. William Fl. Taft? Could
any of our American manufacturers
turn out nickel cigar leaving like
profit to any dealer?"

New England.

Bunching the reports from the vari-
Gus New England tobacco growing sec
tions, there is now but small likelihood
of the crop yielding good average re-
turn. The heavy rains of the last few
days came too late and although many
of the plants that looked hopeless just
before the weather turned have recoy-
cred with pleasing promptness, much
of the labor of the farmers has gone
for nothing. An East Hartford CORES
pondent writes: "a visit through the
tobacco fields here, Sunday, showed a
marked contrast to the condition of the
crop just week ago. The rain did
thousands of dollars worth of good and
frightened the hope for bumper crop.
Most fields are now topping and early
harvesting has got good start" " At
Bloomfield, Conn, harvesting is well
under way and several of the large cor
porations have good percentage al
ready housed. At EastsWhately, aT ass,
some harvesting has been done, bit the
amount of leaf suitable for wrapper is
small The crop at Bradstreet aver
ages fair.

LANCASTER, Pa, Aug. II, 1909.
It will take a big lot of rain to set
the tobacco growing in the way that it
ought to go, the rain of Sunday night
having only been ''freshener. To
bacco, however, RECEIVERS itself quickly,
and with another good month of grow
ing wonders may be worked. Just now
there is plenty of tobacco not worth
cutting, and che very best fields run not
only irregular, but the leaves are short
and narrow.
There has been little doing lately in
the old tobacco crop, 1906 and 1907, of
which not great deal remains in local
packers hands, but numerous inquiries
are now being received by our packers
relative to the 1908 packing Some
dealers have found little or no black
rot, while others have found a great
deal. The tobacco is fine burner,
however, and has superior aroma.
Plenty of packers will not even consid-
er offers just now, believe that by the
first of the new year the price will
have gone up to 20 cents a pound,
though the selling price is now under
Is cents A short crop this season un-
doubtedly would run up the price Of the
1903 tobacco, and holders of these goods
would have something good on hand.
There has been no change in the ci-
gar industry, which continues about on
the lines it has been on lately. New

Tobacco buying is on in full blast the
past week or ten days, with probably
fifteen or twenty buyers in the Craw-
ford county section. A number of
crops have been sold and at fairly good
prices, ranging from 10 to 113c. The
hail damaged sections are not being
neglected as one or two buyers are
making effort to pick up those crops at
bargain prices. Sales of damaged
crops are reported at from to &c. We
are told this morning, Tuesday, that
the entire Johnstown Valley is picked
up at a good price. This is one of the
choice tobacco sections of the county.
More hail storms visited sections of
the county Wednesday evening of last
week. At about $50 in the afternoon
the Liberty Pole section was visited
and slight damage was the result. An
hour or more later a strip of territory
about one-half miles wide and about
two miles long in Utica in the Helger-
son ridge vicinity was visited and con-
siderable damage to tabacco is report
ed. Independent.

WISCONSIN, TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,. Aug. 27. 1909.

EDGERToN, WIS.,, Aug. %, 1909.
Field buying of the new crop, which
started in the Vernon county section
last week, has since been gaining some
headway according to reports reaching
us. A swarm of buyers have invaded
the growing districts and quite strong
effort made to close contracts for the
more promising crops. There is little
doubt but several hundred acres have
been sold since last report at prices
ranging from 8 to II cents, but most
generally around the 10 cent mark for
the wrapper and binder grades. The
movement is also spreading toward the
southern districts. Something like 100
acres has been sold in the Lodi section
we learn. While considerable portion
of the tobacco is quite ways from the
shed, yet it is making good growth and
if favored with suitable weather may
make satisfactory leaf
Topping of the crop is now quite we'll
along and the coming week will witness
a general harvest all along the line.
Weather conditions continue favorable
for the maturing of the crop, though
rains would be now welcomed in most
sections.
The market for old leaf contains but
little news. Cured goods continue to
move in moderate sized orders, while
there is some trading in '07 and '08
from growers. Stephen Haight sold
135cs of '07 and 'O8 packed at Cam
bridge and by the Society of Equity at
London to A. S. Flagg during the week.
The shipments out of storage reach
200 cases for the week to all points
from this station.

NEW YORK, Aug. 18, 1909.


The quantity of leaf that has chang
ed hands in the local market has not
been in accordance with what was
hoped for when the western buyers be-
gan to arrive. Naturally, with repre-
sentatives of nearly all the leading leaf
houses in the city on inspection bent,
the local leaf establishments have been
scenes of great activity during the past
week, and naturally, also, there have
been many sales; but the impression IS
that nothing like the quantity of tobac-
co that was expected to be taken from
the market has been contracted for.
The Connecticut Broadleaf sampling
has not yet been finished, but several
sales have been recorded in this type,
and some early Pennsylvania of the '08
crop has been sold The recent rains
are reported to have extended into
nearly all the cigar leaf states, and the
crop has benefited thereby.
Sumatra-The feature of the week in
this type has been a good mail order
business, and considerable quantity
has been taken by a western contin-
gent.
Havana-Another week of routine
sales is reported locally, against which
the sales in the city of Havana have
quite heavy. Leaf.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

1t is doubtful if field buying of to-
bacco is carried on so recklessly in any
other cigar leaf states as it is in Wis
consin. Almost any other crop is al
lowed to mature before it finds a mar
ket. Naturally tobacco is more or less
speculative product from start to fin
ish and it is possibly for this reason
that buyers will take longer chances
with it than any other farm crop. At
least history bears us out in the asser-
ton that dealers will invest their money
in contracts for immatured tobacco Of
tener than anything else sold from the
farm. But Just why they will continue
to do SO yea after year has always ap-
peared to the writer more or less of a
puzzle. In defense of the practice it
can hardly be said that market condi-
tions warrant such procedure. There
is not sufficient shortage in acreage in
the cigar leaf states that would lead
investors to think they might be able
to corner the market. If early buying
always led to the securing of the choic-
est crop, valid excuse might be rails
ed, but the present outlook does not
give the early crops the best standing.
1t is by no means certain at this writ
ing that with suitable weather condi-
tions the later fields may yet yield
the best tobacco of the year. Then
why all this rush for field buying at
this time, when two or three weeks
later decide all the contingencies that
must arise before the harvest is Sc
cured?
