NEW YORK, March 5, 1910.
Market conditions remain unsatisfac-
tory. Although this time is not as a
rule busy season in the market, it has
generally become known as replen-
ishing season, as after years good
business and after stock taking by the
factories the latter are supposed to be
ready to be touched up or at least to
fill up their exhausted supply of raw
material. But though the cigar indus
try last year was very fair and though
it has continued to be SO in spite of
contrary impressions, manufacturers do
not seem to be in great hurry to pat
ronize the leaf market, at least not to
an extent that would bring push and
vigor into activity. Maybe that the
reports that some parts of the country
are snow-bound and others are flooded
and others again suffering from strikes,
causing anxiety for curtailment of
trade, may have tendency to make
themselves. But any hesitancy to take
advantage of the prevailing prices is
likely to prove an expensive conserva-

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN, Wis, March II, 1910.
Travel on the country roads has been
so badly handicapped the past week as
to prevent much movement of buyers
and business has Stacked away in con-
sequence. There seems to be disposi-
tion to take over more of the remnants
of the crop when they can be lifted at
from Z to cents and with the coming
of spring growers are willing to make
some concessions, so it seems likely the
crop will be quite closely gathered in.
Nothing has occurred in the old leaf
markets that brings much encourage
ment. A general complaint of dull
trade comes also from the eastern CEN
ters, and local trade is invariably of
small orders.
Receiving is being hurried along as
rapidly as possible and big delivery
days are common at all receiving points
in the growing sections. It is quite
probable that nearly Is per cent of the
purchases has already been taken in.
Warehouse work is also being pushed
as rapidly as the help situation will
warrant, for there is scarcity at most
packing points.
The shipments out of storage reach
S56 cases and IL car loads of bundles
to all points from this market for the
week. Since last report 80 car loads
have been received from outlying
points for warehouse handling.

seven or eight thousand cases of 1908
tobacco is left in the hands Of local
dealers, not much when there is even
fair business, but enough to last d very
long time when trade is as dull asit is
now.
The packers still evince no inclination
to rush after the new crop, and it looks
as though they had tacitly decided to
hold off buying until the growers are
willing to let GO at prices the dealers
consider reasonable Naturally there is
a difference of opinion between the
growers and packers on this point, but
the fact is obvious that prices are COM
ing down. What they will finally set
tie at is only a matter Of conjecture.
In former years crops were bought
without being too carefully inspected,
but it looks now as though the packers
would size up very carefully what they
intended buying, and offer for it what
they consider it worth. 1t will then be
up to the grower to say whether he
will let go.
No change is apparent in the cigar
trade, and it may very truthfully be
put down as dull. New Era.

Tobacco Growing in British Columbia.

The work of grading the tobacco crop
of the valley, which has been purchas-
ed by Mr.. L. Holman, has been finished
and the sweating process is now under
way, which will take four or five
months. The crop promises to turn out
an exceptionally good quality of leaf.
When the returns from the cultivation
of tobacco become generally known
there will be large increase in acre
age devoted to it. Mr.. Gus Anderson
received $3.50 for the crop off about Il
acres, and Messrs. Thompson and Nc
lavish sold the crop grown between
the trees in six acres of orchard for
over $500. Tobacco promises to solve
the question of profitable crop to
grow during the period until a young
orchard comes into bearing. -Kelowna

NEW YORK. March 2. 1910.

The local market in domestic leaf
continues inactive. No sales of more
than routine proportions have taken
place and the total quantity that has
changed hands, of all types, is very
small. However, the leaf dealers are
confident that all the tobacco now in
sight will be needed before the year is
out; and with the exception of the facts
that the Pennsylvania farmers are ac-
cepting eight and nine cents and even
less for tobacco that they wanted ten
and eleven for before the holidays, and
that the 1909 New England crop is be-
ing shaded slightly in price, no conces-
sions are being made. Leaf.
