NEW YORK. March 26. 1910


The leaf market remains dull Some
even use much stronger expression
and denounce it as rotten. There is
certainly very little business done and
mostly of the immediate need kind.
Speculative transactions seem to have
vanished altogether. Not even the
awakening of spring with its balmy
weather, and rejuvenating sunbeams,
which will soon make all nature bud
up in the glory of resurrection, has had
the effect of bringing touch of cheer
full and cheering resucitation into the
leaf market 1t is as dull as if we
wouldn't be at the opening of the sea-
son, which promises the most expensive
spring trade in years for our cigar in
dustry, but at the off season during the
holidays at the close of a waning year.
But such a comatose condition cannot
last forever, cannot last even for many
more weeks. And when the spring
awakening comes in the market then it
is likely to turn into full bloom at once.
At last sales are showing something
like boom with bottom to it. AT most
of the uptown factories, this week, or
ders were being filled just about as
fast as shipping departments could han
die the business. The demand is still,
however, practically confined to cheap
to medium priced goods. Stocks in the
better grades are loaded up just about
as far as it is wise to go and the pres
ent productions, with few exceptions,
is strictly confined to lines on which
the market has actually loosened up.
The trade is getting in a better frame
of mind and if the jobbers only keep
up coming through with new business
for brief while, at any rate, the local
record for this spring should prove an
advance on February expectations. -

No marked change has taken place
in the local domestic leaf market since
last reports. The improvement, if any,
has been slight, and the volume Of busi-
ness done here has not been such as the
dealers had hoped for. The buying
movement in certain parts of the coun-
try continues, but in each instance
prices are lower than three months
ago.
Sumatra-It has been long time
since such eagerness to acquire light
Sumatra tobacco has been manifested
by the trade as in the past week. AS
soon as the reports from the tobacco
shown at the first inscription became
generally known, orders began coming
in, and the result has been that the
market has been swept bare of this class
within the past few days. Itwas known
that but little of this remained after
the holiday, and under the circumstan-
ces prices have stiffened considerably.
Havana here and in Havana
the market has been bare of interest,
no sales worthy of note being recorded.
Withdrawals from bond for the week
ending last Friday amounted to little
over 14O0 bales, which is slightly high
er than the average for the past month.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, April l, 19l,


The work of gathering in the rem
nants of last seasons crop seems to be
progressing in nearly all the growing
sections, though the bulk of trading is
confined mainly to cheaper grades lifted
around the cent mark, which will
permit of filling export orders. At least
200 to 800 cases have recently been
taken over to meet this demand.
Little has transpired in the cured
leaf market that furnishes much en-
couragement to holders of old goods
Some 7Cocs Of 'O6, the remnants of two
Lacrosse packers, have lately been
closed out. Other transactions noted
are of the usual small order trading
The receiving of early purchases is
now well along except where the to-
bacco is still hanging in the sheds
awaiting casing weather. A good deal
has been weighed up and settled for to
remain on the farms, where dealers
have not sufficient storage facilities.
The great handicap to warehouse han
ding is the shortage of help in nearly
every packing center, which will pro-
long the season, while the warm wealth
er has set the unsorted bulks into heat
ing, also causing some uneasiness. But
little work has yet been done towards
the seed beds though unseasonably
warm weather has occurred.
The shipments out of storage. reach
649 cases and IA cars of bundles to all
points for the week from this market.
Since last report 100 car loads have
been received for warehouse handling.

L 1t is peculiar and unusal situation
that there is quite per cent of the
Vernon county tobacco grown last sea-
son still suspended on the shed poles.
during the several casing periods of the
past weeks. This fact, coupled with
bad roads, is making a shortage of
goods for handling, and unless deliver
les are soon made there will of neces-
sity be temporary cessation of work at
the numerous warehouses. Every day
there are very large number of loads
brought in from the country, but much
of this delivery is shipped by foreign
buyers to outside packing points. Cen

One half the new tobacco crop has
changed hands, and the packers are
now buying, some of them being at it
very energetically. AS the growers
have their spring work on the farm
ahead of them now, they are delivering
goods sold with as little delay as pos
sible, being anxious to get the care of
the tobacco off their hands. In spite
of this fact, it is not likely that there
will be any change in existing prices,
which range from u to 10 cents. 1t is
being bought on its. merits, too, and the
better goods will bring good prices.
Packers who were unable to see any
merit whatever in the new crop earlier
in the season, and condemned it in un-
measured terms, have evidently had
change of heart, for they are now buy
ing along with the rest of the packers,
being willing to concede that there is
quite a good deal of nice filler tobacco
in the crop.
Lancaster buyers have been buying

Potatoes have not been injured very much, though those planted just before the drouth set in were retarded in their growth Sugar cane will be little late as the result of the dry spell. but the stand everywhere through the county is good.

It takes two to three times as long to clean up a county when the cattle run out part oi the time as when all are kept up all the time.

MAKING POTTERY
 NEAR EUFAULA

Eufaula, April 1S.-(Special.) )--Citi- zens of this section are bringing to light hidden resources that have, no the period of the past half a century unnoticed and which are now being converted into paying and profitable
 industries.
 Several years ago F. z Chestnut. a prominent farmer. who resides at what has been termed Mineral Hill, 16 miles south of this city, discovered what he supposed was superior quail ity of clay near a hillside on his plan tation and decided to investigate it. An analysis proved that it was espe- cially adapted for pottery purposes and Mir. Chestnut proceeded to develop it. His operations, though conducted on a small scale. proved profitable and he gradually enlarged his plant until 1t attracted the attention of his neigh bors. who were at first disposed to believe that his project would prove 8 failure. With the facts so plainly revealed. however. Investigation was further made and 1t has now devel- oped that J. J. Wilson. a neighboring farmer. has discovered vein of tho same strata running through his farm and has turned his attention to 1t. Mir Wilson has also established well regulated pottery and will push oper- ations along the line vigorously. It is believed that the supply on both farms is inexhaustible. Their wares under critical examination have been pronounced most excellent in every re- spect. and with proper facilities for converting the raw material will at- tract the attention of the outside world. As yet no railroad traverses the sec ton and the goods have to be hauled to this and other cities equally as distant to find accessible shipping points. but notwithstanding this they are reaping proRfltable returs and ex- pect to materially increase their out put. Their wares have been adopted almost exclusively in the neigbroring cities and all who handle them seem impressed with the quality which is said to compare favorahly with any they were ever accustomed to handle.
 The downpour of rain which fell here during Saturday afternoon and night Is regarded the heaviest in this sec ton for long period. The official registration records the fall at 4.48 for 24 hours ending Sunday morning. The river up to this hour has risen 25 feet and Is still rising. It is prob able that all the lowlands along It's course will be under water during the day.
