Leaf Tobacco
614-16-18 South Main St.,
GAINESVILLE, Wisconsin.

Very little, indeed, is doing with old
tobacco, though inquiries are numer-
GUS. The offers made by the New York
dealers are so far below what the local
packers demand that the latter will not
consider them, the offers rarely going
beyond Is cents pound, while the de-
mand is for 163 cents and upward. The
local packers believe that by the first
of the year, or very early i'll the new
year, they will be getting 20 cents.
Not much was doing, either, with the
new crop the past week, though for
awhile it was on the jump. 1t is claim
ed that the United Cigar Manufactur-
ers have secured we'll on towards three
thousand acres, while other purchases
swell the grand total to nearly, if not
quite, five thousand acres. If the total
area in tobacco was seventeen thousand
ceres, a good deal is still left, and what
remains is just as good as any sold.
There is no special reason for the grow
ers to sell. The selling price of the
bulk of what was sold was at 10 and 2,
8 and A cents, and it may be doubted if
lower prices will prevail, and after
awhile prices may stiffen very mater
tally. New Era.

New England.

Springfield, Dec. 5.-the damp last
week enabled growers to take down be-
lated crops. Warehouses are now rum
ming with normal compliments of help
in most instances. and if growers and
buyers can come to terms should have
abundance of work until spring.
In Windsor, Conn.,, the 1910 crop has
practically all been taken down. N. f..
Harris, the first man to sell his tobac-
co, was likewise the first to deliver it.
The crops of John Simmons, FL. HI.
Ellsworth and Timothy Kennedy are
among the late sales in Windsor, Conn.
Picked tobacco has made big hit
this season and nearly every crop so
handled has been sold at fancy prices.
1t is needless to say that there will be
an increased amount of tobacco handled
by this method next year.
Not much has been heard of late of
the new Broadleaf crop. Perhaps the
high prices paid in the opening sales
frightened buyers away. However this
may be, only good reports are current
concerning the new Broadleaf crop.
The American Cigar Co. are said to
be in the market for 1000 cases of to-
bacco at 10 cents per pound. Indepen-
dent buyers are probably willing to buy
an equal quantity, Or even all that is
offered at 10 cents.
