NEW YORK, July 90, 1910.

NEW Jim, q Oiy 10, AOAO'
Market conditions do not seem to i'm
prove, although the season has set in
which generally sees a crowd of out-of-
town buyers hustling to examine and
to contract for the New England crops.
The absence of these buyers at this
time would lead to differences the re-
verse from favorable to their actions
of last year. AT that time the cry was
for Connecticut broadleaf. 1t was a
cry so loud, so insistent and SO infec-
tive that it ran about like an almost
inextinguishable prairie fire. To-day
that cry has not started as yet. And
nobody seems eager or anxious to start
it even. But perhaps some of it may
break out later on. So much, however,
seems to be assured for the present
that no such craze for the New Eng
land types is likely to sweep the mar
ket as it did last year. And yet there
ought to be at least an early demand
for the Connecticut seconds, for the
binder proposition is likely to become a
difficult one for the trade. 1t appears
that the drouth must have played havoc
with the Wisconsin crop this year, that
in some localities Is per cent of the
acreage less was planted than last year,
that in other localities from 25 to 33 per
cent of the plants are missing and that
even in Dane and Rock counties TIE
yield is likely to be from 80 to SO per
cent less than last year. This would
mean, not only a partial, but an almost
complete failure of the chief binder
supply for our cigar industry. And
wherefrom could the deficiency possi-
bly, be made up? In part at least from
the New England and York State types.
Another problem that is beginning to
vex the market is the wrapper supply.
Of Sumatra there have been secured
down to and inclusive of the last in
scription about 18, 500 bales for the
American market. AS our cigar indus
try for it's current output will need
about Sc. 900 bales or double the guam
tity, where will it go to make up the
deficiency? Surely, not from the fall
inscriptions, which present generally
but very few grades, and those mostly
of an inferior kind, unfit for the Amer
lean market. That manufacturers seem
to realize the prospective shortage of
the Sumatra supply would appear from
their constant and heavy buying of
Sumatra. But this very fact is bound
to make the shortage to be felt so
much the sooner. Evidently the Flor
ida is likely to have its inning again
this year And if SO, the Florida peo-
pie will have to take care and not In

EDGERToN, WIS.,, July 20, 1910.
The growing tobacco crop is still helc
tightly in the grip of the long continued
drouth, only few local showers hav.
ing brought temporary relief since last
report. People familiar with the grow
ing districts assert that the crop has
gone backward during the week past,
as many of the early fields begin to
spindle and show buds, while the later
tobacco has been sadly pinched by the
hot, drying winds. Neither can the
prospects improve while the sky re-
mains cloudless. At the present writ
ing it is the poorest show for crop
the state has seen in many years on
August 1st.
A midsummer dullness pervades the
cured leaf market everywhere and sales
among the local dealers are away be-
low the normal figures even in small
quantities.
Some work is yet to be done in pack
ing last seasons crop by two or three
firms and stemming is being carried on

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The almost unprecedented drouth
which has effected the northwest has
IN the main continued for another week.
A few local showers have fallen in the
tobacco growing sections, but have
prov Ell but little lasting good to the
crop. These rains have been a great
deal like pouring water ou red hot
stove producing a little sizz and puff
of steam, and that was all. Nothing
but general rains of long hours dura-
ton will put the soil back again into
normal conditions for maturing the
crop The ground is as dry as an ash
heap to the depth of two or three feet,
and the hot, drying winds sucking up
every bit of moisture that can be at
tracted to the surface. Under such
conditions of soil it is impossible for
crops to make much progress and they
cannot continue long with much expec-
tation of harvest.
