Aside from the fact that an election
intervened in the present week S busl-
ness, naturally disturbing to some ex-
tent the even tenor of trade, another
matter, the strike of the express COM
pany's employees is reported to be
causing some difficulty. Samples are
nearly always sent by express, and the
fact that none has been allowed to go
by this means. either out OF or into the
city, has delayed business to consid--
erable extent. For these reasons, and
perhaps others, business has been rath-
er quieter than the dealers would like
to see it. Wisconsin has lead IN sales.
Several good-sized transactions, involv-
ing about 800 cases, are reported in
that State. The damp that prevailed
last week in Connecticut enabled the
farmers to take down large quantity
of their tobacco, and packing opera
tions are going forward rapidly. The
demand in the local market seems to be
more for cheap binders than anything
else, and the supply is limited. The big
transactions in Wisconsin have taken
the major portion of the available sup
ply from the market, and there seems
no doubt that many manufacturers will
have to look elsewhere for their supply.
Just what they will turn to is ques-
ton. The Connecticut crops are being
held at prices that preclude their being
considered cheap binders. A search has
already begun in those sections that
supply binders for the odds and ends of
old crops that have been held by farm
ers, packers, or any one else; but it is
doubtful if the situation will be relieved
to any great extent in this way. While
few will admit that there is an actual
scarcity of binder material, there seems
little room for doubt that such state
of affairs will exist before the new
crop is ready for the market. Leaf.

There can be no doubt that the leaf
market has experienced decided re-
yivaI of business, and that in all grades.
Naturally, the main interest is In Wis
consin, and to large extent the situa-
ton of 1905 is repeating itself In the
fact that the holders of this class of
tobacco have more customers than they
have tobacco. AS consequence, in
stead of trying to sell oooh buyvr az
much as possible, the general tendency
is to try and make the stock on hand
go around and to induce buyers to take
as little as they can get along with. AS
soon as the expressmen's strike is set
tied and packers can get their samples
in, some more large transactions may
be looked for. The activity in regard
to binders is also extending to other
states besides Wisconsin. The 1905
Zimmer is beginning to go into the
market and is meeting with favor, sew
eral sales of 500 cases or more Of this
type having taken place. From the
samples shown, so far, this crop seems
to have cured out very well indeed. A
beginning has been made in the Penn
sylvania market towards the taking
over by the packers OF growers hold
ings, but the farmers do not seem anx-
ious to sell except on their own terms
and the movement has been small IL
consequence. Probably when the farm
ers' minds are adjusted to the prices
the packers are willing to pay there
will be larger volume of trading from
first hands. The Havana market has
awakened without any question anC
any first and second capaduras of Rem
edios tobacco, old goods, still in hand il
being sought by manufacturers, as the
new crop gives indication OF being

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

Another big block of Wisconsin leaf
has passed out of local packers hands
during the week, aggregating four to
five thousand cases all told, and the
most gratifying thing of these deals is
that trading was carried on in every
years growth from 1906 to 1910. The
inference might be drawn that there is
healthy demand developing in the
market for everything that fills the re-
qulrements of the binder trade. When.
the '09 cannot be obtained the market
stands ready to accept any other years
growth, though preference might be
had for the later years tobacco be-
cause of its leafness and general sound
ness it is especially desirable for binder
purposes. But if the trade cannot get
exactly what it wants in times when.
the manufacturing business is flourish
ing it is less critical and exacting than
at other times. 1t develops, too, that
the big trust is short on cigar leaf sup
ply, for the large purchases OF the
week have been made for the account
of the American Cigar Co. 1t is the
large consumers that are first to note
the shortage in binder supplies and first
to provide themselves with ample
stocks for future needs. Nearly all the
old leaf taken out of the market during
the furry of the past few weeks has
gone to the larger manufacturing con-
Germs.

The local leaf tobacco trade fell upon
another dull season the past week and
very little selling of the new packing
took place. Doubtless this tobacco will
move off like the packings of the past
few years, selling starting off by fits
and starts and then passing off grad
ually. The only encouraging feature is
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1910-11-18

The department of agriculture in a
recent bulletin figures out that the
total tobacco crop of the country this
year exceeds that Of 1869 by nearly 18
million pounds. The increase is almost
exclusively confined to the southern
field, while the cigar leaf states with
the exception of Pennsylvania show a
decreased acreage. The statistics give
the Wisconsin yield for 1910 at 81 mil
lion pounds, as against 81 million year
ago. The best information we are able
20 10 that the governments -es-
Inmates are always too low. We un-
derstand the revenue returns made by
dealers show the 1909 crop of this state
close to so million pounds and this
source of information is certainly going
to be the most reliable in the future.
The rules Of the revenue department
are that dealers must report accurately
their purchasers from farmers separate
from those made from packers, which
will keep pretty close tab on the
total production Of such years crop
The average yield Of the entire country
for 1910 is 795 pounds per acre, slight
decrease from year ago, but the cigar
leaf states show an average Of over
], 900 pounds per acre, and Wisconsin is
put down for yield of 1850, as against
1880 in 1909. =

the numerous inquiries being made
about this tobacco, which leads the
packers to believe that these goods are
needed and will soon command buyers.
The packers have not yet decided on
the figure at which they expect the
goods will go, as everything depends
on the cigar trade now. If it keeps as
good as it has been for the past two or
three months, all of the old tobacco
must undoubtedly be cleaned up in the
near future, and then nothing will be
left to fall back upon but the 1909 pack
ing. The dealers expect better prices
than have yet been paid, some even
looking for 20 cents pound before the
first of the year, though most of what
has been sold is long way off from
that figure.
Some little buying of the new crop
has been reported from several points
in the county, but the total amount was
not large, and the prices named as hav-
ing been paid, generally reported at 10
and 3, cannot be taken as reliable. The
growers are not in any hurry to sell,
and prefer not to do SO until the strip
ping is over. AS the packers are lay
ing on their oars waiting for prices to
drop, they are not likely to push buy
ing very soon. New Era.

Since my last letter quite change
has come to the tobacco situation. At
that time the bulk of the crop here in
the northern portion of the valley was
hanging dry and crisp on the poles. But
on Wednesday about p. m. light
rain commenced. But Saturday morn
ing was the best time to take down the
whole or ae much as they desired. One
grower in Whatley, Mass, took down
II acres. L. A. Crafts, one of our local
buyers, was in the field early Friday
morning and report has it that he bought
so acres, and Saturday afternoon he
gave out that he thought he had bought
so tons. The buyer was L. w. Swift

The selected seed of high quality
Connecticut-Havana tobacco grown by
the horticultural department of the
College of Agriculture Of the Univer-
sity Of Wisconsin and distributed free
to growers through recent years will
not be distributed by the station this
year. The improvement of the tobacco
crop of the state through this method
has been pushed to a point where the
station funds are better invested in i'm
proving high quality varieties at the
station. Many tobacco growers have
saved large quantity of seed and will
be able to furnish it to those who need
it. Farmers who expect to grow a
crop next year should arrange early for
their seed supply and not depend upon
getting it from the station as has been
their custom during the last few years.
New varieties are being established as
rapidly as possible and when they are
sufficiently fixed seed will be dissem-
mated.

1t was through the efforts of the Wis
consin Tobacco Growers and Dealers
association that the state experimental
station was first induced to take up the
propagation of tobacco seed, and after
a series of experiments it was success
full in obtaining a strain that has prov
en- very satisfactory. 1t stood the test
so well that the university seed, as it
was called, came into quite general use
by growers Having got the seed well
introduced, the station doubtless
thought the work outlined for it had
been accomplished and it was the duty
of the growers to see that the strain
was kept pure and propagate their own
seed and not depend upon the state for
their supply in the future. The state
has done its part in breeding up the
strain, and until something better is
developed will not undertake to invade
the business of the regular tobacco seed
grower.
The cultivation of tobacco in Italy
has been gradually but steadily increas-
ing. During the year 1909 the plants
numbered 139, 755, 900, which is the
largest number ever reached, and
2, 030, 900 plants in excess of the preced-
ing year. The average price paid by
the monopoly to domestic planters was
Go cents pound, against 5.5 cents in
1908. Accessory expenses brought the
ultimate cost of homegrown tobacco to
the monopoly to 9.7 cents a pound,
against 8.8 cents in 1908.
