the inferior goods. To pay more would
mean eventual loss to them. The grow
ers, and the other hand, evince no
haste to sell, as they can afford to
wait, in the expectation that the ''un-
looked for, !" whatever it may prove to
be, will again set the packers to buy

The local leaf market was more stag
nant the past week than it has been for
the past two months, sales being few
and the transactions small. In fact,
were it not for the jobbing trade with
local cigar factories our packers would
just now be able to close their offices
and take holiday. The 1908 tobacco
is practically the only old goods on
hand, and, while the prices asked for it
were much below what were expected
for the new year, still it is not greatly
sought after at present. Last fall the
packers confidently predicted that
around Christmas or early in the new
year the 1908 goods would be selling at
20 cents pound, but these predictions
have not been fulfilled. Some has
brought 18a cents, but not much went
at that price, More vent at 16 cents,
and some betweeA 16 and 173 cents.

Asserting is now going on in all the
shops. Our local shops are running
with full compliments of men and boys
who are earning fairly good wages; the
sorters about So per day and the sizers
about so cents less. Those who are
lucky enough to work n1the shops are
to be classed among the regular year
workers, and that is better than having
them hanging around the corner stores
and saloons all winter trying to collect
the latest scandal.
On the average, the growers are re-
ceiving about the usual prices for their
tobacco this year, and there will be
about the usual amount planted the
coming season, just what or which va
riety will be grown it is ilard to say,
but / think it will be unsafe to predict,
but as these old farmers dislike to
make many changes it will be safe to
say that most of t.leln will still Plant
the old style of Havana seed, at least
for one year more, although have
heard of some who will change to the
Holiday seed. But as the idea has
been presented that this new hybrid
has not yet been fully developed by the
government specialists, it is thought by
the majority that it is lest to let well
enough alone until the experts are will
ing to say that it is all right. Guilt

NEW YORK. Feb. 8. 1910.

Business has been at standstill here
for the past week, and nothing has
transpired in the market for domestic
leaf of special interest, except that the
first samples of force-sweated Connec-
ticut Havana Seed have been displayed
by one or two firms.
Sumatra. Buyers for local houses
are preparing to start for Amsterdam,
where, on March II, they will be pres
ent at the first sale for the year. Ow-
ing to the fact that there are no fast
boats due about that date, those who
desire to witness the first sale will have
to start in about two weeks on the
slower boats. The stocks that are on
hand have been picked over, and those
manufacturers who need goods for inn
mediate use will have to content them
selves with what is left. The choice
colors have disappeared from the local
market.
Havana. Two large transactions are
reported, one of which was effected in
Havana, and besides these the business
that has been done is of the sample
bale" variety. Manufacturers are test
ing the new tobacco, and a number of
good-sized trades are hanging in the
balance. Leaf.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, Feb. Is, 1910.

EDGERTON, WIS.,, Feb. Is, 1910.
There is some buying of last season S
crop quietly going on but mostly at
prices below the general average.
Sometimes it is reflections of early pur-
chases, for export purposes, or by in
dependent packers who are willing to
invest on a safety basis, but altogether
it is a rather sluggish movement. John
Likeness sold 13a at u and &c, and we
might quote plenty of other sales at
similar figures.
The old leaf market continues to run
in sluggish channels. A moderate
amount of business on small orders is
being done, but nothing like the old
time activity is noticeable. N. Gillian
added about 200cs to his purchases be-
fore leaving for his Pennsylvania home
this week.
Receiving of the crop now occupies
the main business of the large opera
tors, who are naming delivery days as
often as their storage facilities will
warrant. Warehouse work too, is pro-
crossing as rapidly at the packing
points as the help situation will per-
nit. There is call for more sorters
in this market and apparently work in
sight for long season.
The shipments at this station give a
fair idea of the amount of business be-
ing done during the rush of the tobacco
season. There has been forwarded
1113cs and cars of bundles for the
week past. Since last report 45 cars
have been received from outside points
for handling in this market.

NEW YORK, Feb. IL, 1910.
Conditions in our leaf market are be-
ginning to cause anxiety. Business is
not what it was expected to be after
the splendid record made by our cigar
industry the past year. The leaf mar
ket reflects but the satisfactory state
which has prevailed in our cigar indus
dustry since the beginning of the new
year. Of course, everybody would like
to know the underlying causes of this
perplexing situation. But the right
diagnosis would be difficult to fix on.
A general unrest is noticeable which
may account for much. The excessive
ly high prices for food-stuffs and all
necessaries of life compel no doubt
many men in medium circumstances
and all those who have to live on mea-
ger salaries and limited wages to re-
strain their appetites for indulging in
an extra cigar or so. The Oppressive
furry in Wall street caused by the ap-
prehension of drastic decision by the
United States Supreme Court in the
tobacco and standard oil cases which
may upset and depreciate values in in
millions of dollars may be another
cause. At any rate capital seems to
have been seized again with one of its
periodical frights and speculative in
vestments of all kinds to have ceased
in consequence. AS investments in leaf
also require large amounts of capital
and credit, they are being naturally
curtailed in time when the money re-
sources take fright. But this condi-
ton can prove only temporary en-
barrassment. Our country is too big
and too resourceful as to be seriously
arrested in the progress of it's indus
tries. There being no over-abundance
of cigar leaf on hand, the cigar indus
try will sooner or later have to nave
recourse to the leaf markets for its
supply journal.

Despite the assertions of many of the
local dealers, that they will not pay II
and Y cents for the new crop, there
continues to be considerable activity in
this part of the tobacco trade. How
ever, the buying operations are confin-
ed mainly to the rural packers, the city
dealers apparently holding to their de-
termination not to pay the high prices.
They say they would pay 10 cents for
the better class of goods. and less for

Some dealers have been on the road
during the past few days contracting
here and there crop found to be un-
sold. Monday case weather enabled
those farmers who had not yet removed
all their 1909 crop from the poles to
complete that work and they will con-
sequently be prepared to deliver at the
warehouses as soon as the sorters are
ready for it.

The adjournment Of the United States
Supreme Court without rendering a de-
cision in the case of the American To-
cacco Co. has not lessened interest in
the matter. On the contrary, it has
increased the uncertainty in regard to
the outcome and left very unsettled
feeling among the numerous holders of
the securities of the tobacco trust, as
we'll as of Wall street spectators in
the market generally. 1t has rarely oc-
Cured that such diversity of opinion
has been noted as in the present in
stance and everybody is wondering
what the tobacco trust will do in case
of an adverse decision. In discussing
the probable decision leading corpor-
alton lawyer said: .'In case methods
are condemned they will have to be
stopped; in case ownership of stock in
competing companies is condemned
stock will have to be disposed of; in
case restriction of competitive condi-
tions, as ordered by the court below,
some way will have to be adopted to
restore such competitive conditions. Ii
is beyond doubt that since the govern
ment first began proceedings against
the American Tobacco Co., in July,
1907, change of sentiment has taken
place touching the exact definition of
restraint in trade President Taft's
recent utterances in the same direction
lead to the inference that the govern
ment does not wish to act without due
regard for what serves best the inter-
ests of the country as whole. Attor-
ney General Wickersham's desires to
acquaint himself fully with all the de-
tails of the case before placing the
Federal contention before the Supreme
Court may be taken as an Indication of
caution. That the question will be
dealt with fairly and upon its merits, is
as important to every large corporation
as it is to the American Tobacco Co. or
the public. =

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

A couple of days more of casing
weather this week has given an oppor
tunity for the belated growers to re-
move the last of their hanging tobacco
from the sheds. The season generally
has been favorable for getting the crop
out of the curing barns for stripping so
that growers have been ready for de-
livery at an earlier date than the aver
age for series of years. Often times
it is well towards spring before the
farmers had all their tobacco prepared
for market, even when it has been sold
under contract. 1t is quite likely that
rs per cent of. the '09 crop is now ready
for market if dealers were able to re-
ceive it, but it is impossible for them
to receive it much faster than their
storage facilities at the packing CEN
tiers will accommodate, and hence de-
Eliveries will doubtless extend through
couple of months yet. It should be re-
membered that larger proportion of
last seasons crop was sold for bundle
delivery than in most recent years, save
that of the '06 crop. Packers too are
giving the present crop more careful
asserting than heretofore which is made
necessary because of the shed burn,
high case, green and frosted leaf found
in most crops that must come out to
make uniform packing. When sort
ing has to be resorted to instead of the.
usual sizing, warehouse handling
proceeds slower and the season is pro-
longed. involving also increased ex-
penses in packing, which few, if any,
figured on when contracts were made
nearly six months ago.
Tc carry on the investigation and i'm
provement of methods of growing and
producing tobacco, the item of $22, 100
is set aside in the general agricultural
appropriation bill presented in the house
of representatives. Representative
Stanley of Kentucky, who is member
of the commission, has been urging on
congress the adoption of this bill, which
will enable the department to continue
experiments and also have it's agents
visit the tobacco growing sections and
give the growers the result of their
study For the investigation of insects
affecting tobacco and other crops, SAT-
600 is appropriated.

And now our government is to act as
tobacco sales agent, according to a
resolution introduced in the House by
Representative Flood of Virginia. And
why uot? If our government can act
as an advertising and sales agent for
Manila cigars, why should it not act
also as sales agent for our tobacco
growers? But where are we drifting
to? Evidently into Orientalized pater-
nalism. Into this submersion of our
democratic government we are being
gradually led by the Philippine policy
of the Taft administration. u. S. To-
