LANCASTER, Pa, Aug. 23,. 1910.
Warm weather, which has followed
the generous rains, is putting the fin
ishing touches on the 1910 crop of to-
bacco, which is going to be one of the
best in years. Cutting is in progress
at many places, and the tobacco is be-
ing put into the sheds in frst-class con-
dition. That the crop will be big one
is evidenced by the large number of
new tobacco barns which have been
built or are under construction. The
number is said to be larger than for
several years.
The packers are beginning to get in
terested in the new crop. Frequent
visits are made. to the growing sections
and it is said farmers have been ap-
preached to sell on the field. While no
actual sales nave been reported, it is
believed that some dealers have come
to an understanding with certain grow
ers to take their crops. The dealers
profess not to be anxious to buy until
the tobacco is in the barns, and it is
probable that they may stick to their
decision. The farmers, on the other
hand, are not anxious TO sell. The ex-
perience with last years crop is enough
to convince them that by waiting they
will get the prices they think their to-
bacco is worth. New Era.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, Sept. 2, 1910.

EDGERTON, WIS, Sept. z, 1910.
Weather conditions have been quite
favorable for the development of the
new crop in the fields, which is making
some good sized leaf, and the coming
week will see the harvest we'll under
way. Fuller reports from the. late
storms indicate greater damage from
hail and wind than was at first believed
which must reduce previous estimates
of the binder production in the present
crop. Some field buying in the hail
stricken districts has been going on
during the week by dealers in low
grades at prices ranging from to 81
cents. 1t is probable that four or five
hundred cases have been contracted for
around these figures.
The market for ole" leaf continues
along lines frequently mentioned in this
column. Geo. Rumrill picked up 150cs
mostly from dealers in this market
during the week. Sampling of last
seasons packings is being carried on
among few packers with results that
appear to be quite satisfactory. The
work has already gone far enough to
indicate that only very small per-
centage of damage may be expected.
The shipments out of storage reach
1884 cases and cars of bundles from
this market to all points for the week.

NEW YORK. Aug. "a, 1910.

The best that can be said for the
local situation in domestic tobacco is
that the Western buyers who recently
visited the market nibbled at the offer
ings shown them. Many of them, it is
declared, returned empty-handed, hav-
ing purchased neither here nor in the
country districts, and the sum total of
purchases in any section is small. Lo-
cal packers, however. declare that after
Labor Day the Indifference of the buy
ers will change, and that while sales
have been at minimum, prices have
been firm. The healthy condition of the
cigar trade as shown by the report of
the internal revenue department for
June makes it certain, they say, that
the manufacturers must lay in more
heavily of the raw material. Leaf.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27, 1915

NEW YORK, Aug. ~, l9lO.
In spite of the goodly sized crowd of
buyers in our local leaf market, the
actual transactions consummated dur
ing the week fell far below the volume
of business generally done at the open
ing of the buying season. The reason
advanced is that the buyers did not find
the goods to suit them. As usual at
this time of the year, the Western buy
ers came into our market chiefly to in
vest in the New England crops, but as
one of the largest operators in the mar
ket rather boldly remarked: There
are no wrappers in this years New
England crops" The wrappers are
chiefly sought by Western buyers to
supply the smaller manufacturer, and
if the domestic wrapper crop fails him,
his main motive for his errand to this
market at this time of the year remains
unstilled. Of course, the remark quoted
is to be accepted with the proverbial
grain of salt. The crop is not deficient
entirely of wrapper leaf, but it does not
seem to be Of that grade and service
ability which made it last year such a
dominant factor in quick and volumi-
nous trading Nevertheless, the buyers
bought considerable quantities Of the
New England crop if not by the name
of wrappers, then by that of seconds.
Only seconds do not command the price
of wrappers. However, the seconds of
broadleaf brought an average price of
from thirty to thirty-fve cents accord
ing to grading and the soundness of the
leaf, and the Havana seed seconds av-
eraged about thirty-two and thirty
three cents. Many of these seconds
will pass to the smaller trade as wrap
per leaf, but it is significant that in the
parlance and action of the, packer, they
should have lost the distinction and in
dividuality of wrappers. AS the new
binder and filler crops are not yet sam
pied, the Westerners picked up here
and there some remnants of the older
stocks. They also paid their attention
to the Havana and Sumatra stocks on
hand, and some lively trading resulted
in both of these commodities. journal.

If the people were surprised at the
beginning of last week at the growth
of the 1910 tobacco crop, what can we
say at the beginning Of the present
week? doubt if very many ever saw
such growth as the crop has made in
one week. l hear that buyers have
been circulating through the land look
ing for the best crops and buying a lot
here and there at prices for Havana OF
14c and seed from IA to 16c in the bum
die.
Our correspondents report as follows:
Hatfield, Mass, Aug. So: Elias Book
& Son have bought 100 acres of 1910
tobacco, part seed leaf and part Ha-
vana at IA to 16c in the bundle. A large
part of the crop is now harvested in
the old town. !" Feeding Hills, Aug

Probably there is not one smoker IN a
thousand who is not surprised and, in
fact, incredulous, when he is told that
the color of a cigar is absolutely no
guide to it's strength. Yet such is the
case, and a fact we'll known to cigar
manufacturers and importers. The be-
lief of smokers that cigars OF dark
color are strong and those or llgnter
shade are milder, is, in point OF fact, as
fallacious as it is general. This is but
one of the many delusions harbored by
consumers of tobacco, and which prac-
tical cigar men have smiled at and IN
dulged from time immemorlal. But re-
cent years the inclination OF smokers
toward light-hued cigars has assumed
the proportions of "craze, and the
producers are finding much difficulty IN
meeting the demand The manufac-
turers and Cuban tobacco raisers would
now gladly correct the error; but, after
having carefully classified their pro-
ducts under the style of claros, color
ados, maduros, etc., for decades, they
find it next to impossible to dispel the
delusion. A maker of Havana cigars
uses but one grade or blend of tobacco
in the body or filler of his cigars. Ex-
actly the same stock is used in his Con-
chas as in his Perfectos; in his claros
as in his maduros. After the cigars
are made, however, his ''selector' takes
them in hand and Classics them ac-
cording to the relative shades OF the
wrappers. This is done to effect uni
fornity in the appearance OF each box
of cigars, and to enable the dealer to
readily indulge the whims of the self
deluded smoker. Inasmuch as the
wrapper constitutes not more than one
tenth of the cigar, it will readily be
seen that the degree Of its strength or
mildness is very inconsiderable in effect.
The prejudice of these natives and OF
tobacco tradesmen is logical one, and
liar misconception of facts which is
both amusing and embarrassing to ven
ders of the fragrant weed. Whether
cigar smokers will ever awaken to the
fact that dark cigar is, if anything,
rnilder and invariably sweeter and more
aromatic than a light cigar, remains to
be seen. Tobacco Leaf.

The proposed increase of railway
rates, which is now held up by the
interstate railway commission touches
the tobacco trade upwith good strong
advance. The schedule increases the
rate about 20 per cent when shipped in
bales or bundles and IA per cent on
cased goods an important advance
surely. The classification on tobacco is
generally considered high enough to
make it a desirable commodity and
there is always strong competition
for the traffic, so wherein lies the ar
gument for raise in tariff is not yet ap-
parent.
