Tobacco Prices Firm and Active

Edgerton Reporter: "Old leaf in farm
ers' hands is being sought after quite
eagerly and the movement is gradually
absorbing all the remnants of several
years crops at advanced figures.
THE week has brought to notice
several transactions of packings of old
tobacco, aggregating six to eight thou
sand cases of the 1909 crop, passing in
to the hands of the large consumers of
Wisconsin leaf who apparently are for
tifying themselves against future needs
Local packers are becoming so well
cleaned out of this stock that we might
easily count on one hand the thousands
of cases that are likely to reach mar
ket from this source.
1--WE note that an organization Of
Ohio tobacco growers has recently
passed resolutions condemning the sale
of trash tobacco, on the ground that IL
helps destroy the market for the better
grades. 1t also goes on record as OPP
posed to the practice of paying bonus
in the purchase of tobacco as deception
worked on growers, tending to prevent
healthy competition in buying 1t has
probably not escaped the notice Of ev-
erybody that the price of low grade
leaf has advanced entirely out Of pro-
portion to the better grades in recent
years. Filler and trash tobacco have
gone up from 100 TO 200 per cent, while
higher grade leaf has scarcely made a
perceptible advance. solely for the rea-
son that there is a stronger demand
and wider market opened for these
grades. Formerly domestic filters de-
pended largely upon an export market,
but since the enormous trade for scrap
and combination brands opened up
there has been an increasing demand
for low grade leaf, including the trash
which our Ohio friends think ought not
to be Sold
