Much land is in preparation for to-
bacco. Farmers in the Connecticut
valley are this week busy blowing,
dragging and putting the land in as
friable condition as possible. Some
growers have been preparing the land
since March 1, have dragged it three
times, and the fields appear in the best
of condition. Seed beds are we'll up in
most localities. Late sown beds posi-
bly, are not advancing as we'll as those
started early during the recent warm
weather. However, in most places
there is room for little fault-fnding
with the start obtained by the young
plants.
In the vicinities of Tariffville, North
Bloomfield and Manchester, Ct, and
up the valley in Sutherland the acreage
age will be about as last year, accord
ing to statements made by growers,
although few of them are inclined to
think the acreage may be reduced be-
cause of the low prices they have been
receiving.
The acreage of shade-grown tobacco
will be greatly increased this year, and
the outlook is bright in the Connecticut
valley. 1t has been stated by some of
the growers who have been in the large
markets that the demand for shade
grown tobacco is excellent and that
prices are good. Homestead.

the case may be. Hardly any two
packers take the same view of the new
crop. Some say it will not be an ur-
gent call in the market, but they fail
to say what they want with tobacco
that has no merits at all in their eyes.
Others say the crop may turn out fairly
good. The tobacco Of some buyers
shows black rot, while others see little
signs of it. 1t is, beyond doubt, the
most uncertain crop Lancaster county
has put on the market for years, but it
can be put down as pretty sure thing
that when the last crop has been gath
cred up the packers will see in it mer-
it's that they fail to observe now, and
in the end it will be very nice filler
crop, even if the leaves are small. Just
paste this prediction in a conspicuous
place and see if it don't come true.
Probably three-fourths of the new crop
has been sold, and it is very likely that
the rest will be slow in going off,
Very little was doing in the old to-
bacco, of which only few thousand
cases are left in the hands of our local
dealers. They are trading only with
the local cigar manufacturers, who re-
port trade as toning up trifie the past

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN, Wis, April %, 1910.
There is little or no change to note in
the tobacco market from week to week.
A moderate amount of buying of last
seasons crop goes steadily on, which is
all the time reducing the unsold rem
nants until there is probably less tobacco
in country hands now than a year ago
this date. Prices, however, are mostly
around the cent mark with an occa-
sional raise for some of the better
crops. A. 55cs lot of assorted goods
was delivered Tuesday by Mrs. o. H.
Holton at 10c.
The market for cured leaf continues
along the same channels as for months
past, trading mostly of the small order
variety. We learn of the sale of a car
lot of '07 to an eastern jobber.
Warehouse work is progressing as
rapidly as the limited help situation
will warrant, but is destined to be pro-
longed beyond the usual time.
A week of cold rains and frequent
frosts has not given the plant beds
much Of show for advancement, but
where protected little damage has been
done.
The shipments out of storage reach
1923 cases and 6 cars of bundles to all
points from this market for the week
past. Since last report 10 cars have
been received from outside points.

Market conditions remain unchanged.
Absence of stirring activity is still the
general complaint. Whatever business
is done is mostly of the routine order.
AS usual almost everybody has got his
own explanation for this unwonted and
continued slackness at this season.
When they are confronted with the out
put of our cigar industry as reported
by the internal revenue returns and
which show an advance, although but a
conservative one, the reply generally is
that it is the big factories, the big cor
pOrations which are expanding their
output, while the middle class and
smaller factories on which the trade of
the different leaf markets has chiefly
to rely are going back in their output.
That this general view is not correct
one would appear from a statement
made public by the head of our largest
independent cigar manufacturing con-
Germ in which the confession is made
that the earnings for the first quarter
of this year have not been equal to the
corresponding period of last year. Now
then, as this complaint is made by the
largest and most successful independent
concern it proves that if the cigar out
put is not what it should be, the bigger
concerns must be rather more adverse
ly affected than the smaller ones to
Judge from the increase at large But
market conditions are bound to change.
A hopeful sign is the fact that large
parcels of the new Sumatra importa-
tions have found their way already into
the factories in spite of the general
tendency to belittle the merits of the
new crop. journal

Advices from Lexington, KY, state
that it looks now as if the 1909 crop of
tobacco pooled with the Burley Tobacco
Society, will go chiefly to the American
Tobacco Company. The price at which
the tobacco will be sold is said to -
$500 per hundred pounds. Some
statisticians state that the America
Tobacco Company had already pur
chased 200, 600, ,0O0 pounds this seassn
and will not need the society's cror.
but other informa ton is to the effec &
that the American Tobacco Company :
largest purchases do not aggregate
more than 10000, coo and they will
need pooled tobacco.

LANCASTER, Pa, April II, 1910.
The little buying of the new crop
done last week bears out the state
ments Of the local packers, that they
have about all the 1909 goods they want.
This was qualified by the announcement
that they might buy more if the prices
dropped. But prices have not dropped,
and are about the same as they have
been during the past few weeks. Some
growers have packed their own crops,
but these are persons who can afford to
hold on to the tobacco as long as the
packers can, and take the same chances
of the crop turning out good or bad, as

Time was when the general feeling
against the trusts was one of: Cruelty
them, head, body and limbs; time was
when the mere mention of a trust pro-
voked resentment and denunciation;
time was when no denunciation was too
vulger, no charge too eXtravagant, no
blackguardism too venal to be thrust at
the tobacco trust. And now? Why
the trade is fairly trembling at the pos
sibility of the supreme court decreeing
dissolution of the trust. For the le-
gitimate, progressive, prosperous and
self-reliant trade realizes that decree
of dissolution for the tobacco company
wohld mean decree of dissolution also
for every other great industrial combi-
nation and corporation and that such a
dissolution could not but bring in its
wake the worst and most extensive
panic this or any other country has
ever known. 1t is the instinct of self
preservation which has brought about
this change among the legitimate busi-
ness interests against drastic and
revolutionary Interpretation of the anti
trust laws. 1t is this instinct of self
preservation that is kept on the per-
turbed seat of anxiety by the deferred
decision of the court in the trust cases.
And so long as this indecision lasts so
long will the business of the country be
kept suffering. 1t would appear to be
kind of retaliation for the once very
popular pastime of frustrating u.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

To clean up and prepare the '09 crop
for the cases has required more than
ordinary care and attention this year,
SO the packers inform us. There was
SO much damaged and immature leaf
contained in most crops as they came
from the farmers that had to be re-
moved before the tobacco could be
safely packed that the warehouse
charges are going to be considerably
advanced over those of the ordinary
season. Some packers estimate that
an average of 80 per cent of the to-
bacco as it was received must be
thrown out when it is passed over the
asserting tables, to be sold to the stem
mers or scrap manufacturers for what
it will bring To clean out the rubbish
not only adds to the fixed charges for
handling but adds materially to the cost
of the packing. Were it not for the
deductions which the dealers secured
from the early contract prices the '09
crop would have proven one of the
most expensive packings put up in this
state in some years, excepting possibly
the '06. The figures which are soon to
be made at the close of the season as
to the cost of packings are pretty sure
to be startling ones.

The trial of the Grant county, KY,
tobacco growers in the federal court at
Covington, KY, in the suit instituted
against them by the United States gov
eminent, resulted last Saturday in the
conviction of eight of the twelve men
originally indicted for alleged violation
of the Interstate commerce law in re-
|straint of trade. This is probably the
first verdict of the kind involving pro-
ducers and farmers. The convicted
men are influential citizens and promi-
nent in the business and social life of
the community in which they reside.
Numerous witnesses were placed on
the stand by the government to show
that the defendants had conspired to-
gether to prevent the shipment to Gin
cinnati of four hogsheads of tobacco
from Dry Ridge, KY, belonging to w.
T. Osborne, a reputable tobacco grower
of that place. The trial was remark
able for the fact that after the prose-
cution had concluded it's presentation of
testimony the defense made no effort
to place any witnesses on the stand,
simply resting their case and depend
ing upon argument before the jury.

Reduction in insurance rates on leaf
tobacco is asked for in huge petition
being promulgated by the insurance
committee of the National Cigar Leaf
Tobacco association. The petition asks
that rates be restored to their former
basis which was one-half OF those now
in force, and adds significantly: eve
hereby authorize our associations rep
resentatives to secure these rates
through amiable negotiations, If posi-
BILE; otherwise to proceed to secure
them through such means as may be
justified. Copies Of the petition will
be sent broadcast to the officers OF
every leaf tobacco association In the
country. or similar bodies affiliated with
the National association, and an effort
will be made to line up every member
of the trade, whether ne be leaf deal
er or cigar manufacturer, to help their
warfare for more reasonable rates.
There seems to have been a gradual IN
crease of rates on eastern tobacco
risks the past few years, and yet the
rates are not as high as prevail IN the
west.
