WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. WIS. April 5. 1910

EDGERTON, WIS.,, April ., 1917. 4
About the same conditions prevail in
the local leaf markets as for some
weeks past. A steady absorption of
the '09 crop is going on and is likely to
continue until the country districts are
we'll cleaned up, for growers are anx-
ious to dispose of their holdings even
at low level of prices. The bulk of
the sales remains around the cent
mark. Trading in old leaf is still con-
fined to moderate sized lots to meet
manufacturers necessities, nor do the
eastern centers report anything like a
normal business.
Warehouse handling is dragging
somewhat owing to the scarcity of
help, but few packers are about
through with the seasons work, which
will relieve the situation shortly.
Early spring indications still prevail
and growers have commenced to lay
the seed beds for another crop quite
freely during the week.
The shipments out of storage reach
529 cases and 10 car loads of bundles
to all points for the week. Since last
report SO cars have been received for
warehouse handling in this market.

The anticipated early spring makes
the tobacco growers anxious to COM
mence their work. In some portions
of the valley seed beds are being ster-
ilized and fields put into condition.
Along the Connecticut river where its
shipment is feasible, horse manure from
New York is beginning to arrive. Fur
ther north work has not progressed as
far as in Connecticut. Although the
weather is unusually warm many grow
ers think it best to make haste slowly.
Some who have held their crops through
the winter think they will gain finan-
cially by packing and sorting their own
tobacco. If they do not actually get a
higher price for their tobacco they will

Very little trading was done the past

packers only customers, not being
overburdened with business themselves.
In fact, the past week was painfully
quiet one in cigar circles, and the silver
lining to the cloud is not yet in evi-
dence.
With the new crop things were diff
ferent. The local packers were busy
buying, and prices ranged all the way
from 75 to 10 cents. We even heard of
a little being sold at 81 cents, fairly
good tobacco, the buyer considered it.
About half the crop has now been sold,
and the packers say they have about
all they need, though they are not
quite sure they would not buy little
more if prices went down bit. The
growers are reluctant to take less than
they have been recently receiving, and

The protect for improving the southwest

looked on by realty experts as the fore
runner Of many other similar building oper-
ations in the district this year. These same
experts hold the opinion that the details Of
many more plans for adding to the strength
Of the commercial cathedral zone" will be
revealed this spring. The reason for the
marked inactivity Of builders of big sky
scrapers in the downtown districts is
the fact that greater areas OF land we're
improved in the zone from 1898 to 1905
than in any other similar period in the his
tory of the city. So extensive were those
building operations that ii was thought at
one time some of the ventures might
prove failures, for the time being, or, in
other words, that the supply would be much
greater than the demand. Building prog

the panicky days Of 1907, but since that
time such projects as the building of

building improvements have been made.

ing properties valued st over S6o.eoo, ana
several sites which have changed hands are
TO be improved IN the near future with Dig

ure Of the purchasing operations IN THESE
zones ~ the last three months has been
