With not more than % per cent of

it as has already been disposed of, it is
likely that quite number of our deal
ers will be found buying very actively.
The tobacco selling cheap, at and
cents a pound, is tobacco worth no
more than those prices, but the pack
ers are paying for good tobacco 81 to
10 cents, and good deal selling at the
last named figure. No possible idea
can be had as to the percentage of the
crop that will make really good filters,
but it may be put down as certain that
the packers believe the figure will be
very much higher than they thought
would be the case few weeks

The week of raw and backward
weather has had it's dampening effects
on tobacco matters as well as all other
occupations. Although there has been
sufficient of dampness, except, too cold,
for case purposes, there has been little
if any tobacco removed from the poles,
and the matter will soon become seri-
Gus for both grower and packer. The
latter is waiting patiently for delivery
of the goods he has purchased. 1t the
several hundred acres due for delivery
were down and in the warehouses op-
erations there would soon be brought
to an end. AS it is all of the local
packing places except the Bekkedal
house are temporarily closed awaiting
delivery of goods.
It is question of much speculation
just what extent the seed beds and
growing plants have been damaged by
late storms and freezes. One dealer
tells the Censor that he made an ex-
animation yesterday and found plants
badly blacked, and in his judgment they
will be valueless. Careful attention
should be given to this important sub
ject by growers. Censor.

NEW YORK, April 3

NEW YORK, April 80, 1910.
Market conditions seem to brighten
up somewhat. While trading in general
is not yet up to briskness some houses
seem to have done during the past week
a business of considerable volume, con-
siderable in comparison with the slack
ness of the past few months. Trans
actions of hundreds of cases of domes-
tic filler and binder leaf have been eff
fected, and both old and new Sumatra
has been in more than average demand.
With all the antipathy that has been
aroused against the new Sumatra man
ufacturers have been buying it to a
larger extent than has been generally
the case with new importations. Those,
however, who have been influenced by
the adverse reports about the new crop
are hustling for a supply OF the new
stock, and so trading in Sumatra has
become again most encouraging fac
tor in the market. Manufacturers who
are starting to augment their supply OF
raw material now are certain to be the
gamers in the end, because they are
wise enough to act on the immutable
economic principle that a rising market
presages an irresistible advance IN
price. j Journal.
New YORK, April 26, 1910.
April is regarded by the leaf trade
as one of the quiet mouths of the year
under ordinary circumstances. 1t is
living up to, if not adding to, its repu
tation in this particular this year. In
the local domestic leaf market there
have been no transactions of more than
routine Importance for several weeks.
The dealers are fortifying themselves
with the knowledge that the stocks in
manufacturers hands are low, and that
in none of the various types is there an
abundant supply. The manufacturers
continue hand d-to-mouth business, sup
plying their needs but waiting until "a
more propitious time before buying
heavily. The dealers argue that later
there will be a rush for goods and
prices will go up. From Wisconsin
comes bad news. The cold weather
that prevailed in that section recently
did a great deal of damage to the plant
beds. The temperature fell to twenty
two degrees, and in some places there
was heavy snow fall. If the destruc-
tion of plants is as general as first re-
ports indicate, it means that there will
be late crop, which will be subjected to
many hazards. A large quantity of the
Wisconsin crop has been taken by to-
bacco manufacturing concerns, and 1T
is estimated that not more than 35, 900
cases of binders will be secured from
the 1909 crop. Leaf.

Duff and Drifting
Stock Movement

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-The stock
market was not changed essentially
from the dull and drifting markets of
last week. The rise in prices was the
complement of the fall on Saturday
which was based on the possibility
that the supreme court would hand
down a decision today in the Ameri-
can Tobacco case. The clearing up of
this uncertainty over the disposition
of the case will be welcomed all
through the financial world.
Some of the bear covering of shorts
may have been due to moderation of
strength in the Philadelphia situation.
The labor situation there is viewed
more for it's possible sympathetic in
fluence on the disputes between the
railroads and various branches of the
trainmen than for it's own Importance.
The crops also came in for considera-
ton and the strength of the wheat
market gave force to the further re-
ports of weather damage to the win
ter wheat crop. The world of spec
ulation is absorbed in the boom in
