The stripping is again at a standstill
for the want of little damp weather.
The growers are all anxious to get at
this work that they know must be done
before there is to be much of chance
to sell the crop now hanging on the
poles.
We hear of an occasional struggling
buyer stopping at some of the barns,
looking at the small lots already taken
from the poles, asking the price that
such tobacco is held at. Some buying
has been done at Hadley, Mass, ac-

The local tobacco packers have made
considerable noise over the recent sale
of few crops of new tobacco, with
the evident intention of creating the
impression among the growers that this
is to be about the selling price of this
tobacco. Whatever may have been the
reasons of these few growers selling,
the figures are not looked upon by the
growers as indicating what the market
prices are to be. There were, doubt
less, special reasons for the sales, and
special reasons for the prices. Our
growers have too fine lot of goods to
let them go at prices little above what
they received for last years much
abused crop, tobacco that the packers
now find possesses all sorts of merits,
which were undreamed of before it left
the growers hands. The contention
that the very size of the crop will keep
prices down is not good one, because
old tobacco is scarce and the Wisconsin
and Ohio crops are short. Under such
conditions Lancaster county tobacco
will be very much in demand after
awhile, and the growers are pretty sure
of receiving substantial prices. New

All grades of the new crop continues

Wisconsin continues to lead in inter-
est and in the number of transactions.
A large manufacturing concern is cred
tied with having taken from the mar
ket in the past week 1900 cases of 1909
Wisconsin, buying from one house.
Other manufacturers have bought in
smaller quantities. The 1909 Pennsyl-
vania has begun to move, though little
has been done in this type in the local
market. In Lancaster and Philadei-
phia a number of good-sized trans
actions are reported, involving in the
neighborhood Of $500 cases. There has
been some buying of the 1910 crop also,
but none of the larger houses are TAX
ing this step, and it seems unlikely
that much of this crop will be bought
until it has been cured and the 1905
crop disposed of. At present the pack
ers who specialize this type have their
money tied up in 1909, and their ware
houses as well; and the apparent lack
of interest in the 1910 crop is credited
to these two causes. The packers have
neither money nor warehouse facilities
for large operations.
The Ohio situation remains unchang-
ed. Very fair reports come from Con-
necticut as regards the new crop,
though from sections comes complaint
as to pole-burn, of which, it is said, a
considerable quantity has been found.
Colors in general are reported good,
and unless the pole-burn is more exten-
sive than is now anticipated Connecti-
ticut packers will have high-class
article to offer next Fall. If the pres
ent price-level is maintained, however,
it will be a high-priced article as well.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5, 1910.
1t is said generally in the leaf mar
ket that this week would have shown a
lively business had the express strike
not made it impossible to forward sam
Piles to many points from which re-
quests have come. However, there are
rumors of other large contracts pend
ing. The packing houses hope that the
rains that have fallen this week will
lead to more extensive taking down of
tobacco in Connecticut and Pennsyl-
vania, particularly in the latter State,
as many of them are anxious to begin
operations there, if the growers pre-
tensions can be brought down to more
solid basis. The local newspapers in
Pennsylvania. the packers complain,
are deceiving the farmers by their
statements as to the prices possible for
tobacco to bring this year. We want
to say here that no boom can be manu-
factured. Tobacco is legitimately high
priced today because it costs the grow
er more to raise it than it did decade
ago, and also because the demands of
the manufacturers are more eXacting
than they were in the past. But some
relation must be maintained between
the $50 that it is possible for the manu-
facturer to get for 1000 nickel. cigars
and the cost of his raw material; and
with the general raise in wages that
has been granted by manufacturers
within the last two years, it is impossi-
BILE for the growers to get the crazy
boom prices that prevailed in 1906 and
which almost ruined the tobacco-pack-
ing industry when the losses had to be
figured up in the following year. There
is no doubt that all the tobacco that
grew in 1909 will find ready market,
but even in the types where there is a
scarcity, such as Wisconsin, it has been
the policy of the packers this year not
to seek to get the last cent for their
tobaccos, but to meet the situation in a
spirit of fairness and to be satisfied
with reasonable return instead of the
extreme speculative profit that might
have been possible. 1t would be our
advice to manufacturers to secure their
supplies of domestic tobaccos for the
year to come right now, if they have
not done SO already, as nothing is more
obvious than that there can be no down.

The improved conditions in the mar
ket for old tobaccos would very natur-
ally'be reflected in the movement OF
the new crop which has apparently
taken on new life lately. 1t is probable
that fully three-quarters Of the 1910
crop has already gone under contract
and this too under circumstances hardly
without a parallel in this state in that
the crop has been bought without the
dealers being able to know just what
percentage of suitable binder leaf they
were going to secure. Nearly one-half
the crop was secured on a low grade
basis for stemming purposes but the
better grades, those expected to yield
percentage of binder leaf, are regard
ed as good deal of a gamble. Never be-
fore have the grasshoppers and worms
wrought such havoc in the growing
fields and none are better acquainted
with this fact than the growers them
selves, and their determination to sell
at round price this year is compli-
ment to their shrewdness as traders.
A farmer who has grown tobacco for a
series of years knows better than any
buyer what he has got to sell and he
need not be told how difficult it is to
strip into grades crop Of grasshopper
and worm eaten leaf, and he will sell
at round price if possible. 1t is sur
missed there will be some isappoint-
ments awaiting the packers when deliv-
cries come to be made. If the farmer
has sold at round price, as many have
done, there is no trouble in store for
him.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The holdings of local packers of the
1909 crop are now pretty generally out
of the market, having been gobbled up
by the large consumers of Wisconsin
leaf with readiness that almost as
founded the packers. While the hold
ings were not large, before the packers
were fairly aware that movement
was under way, they were quietly taken
over. The market had been under a
depressing atmosphere so long that the
trade was hardly looking for so sudden
change until all was over. Such re-
vival in business can scarcely be looked
upon as a boom, for it. was not-just a
healthy demand for the goods and the
scarcity of the supplies necessitated
some quick moves to secure them. The
prices paid for these packings were not
extravagant, but only living profit,
such as packers must have to keep in
the business. The N. Y. Journal is
probably right in it's opinion that it is
the best for all branches of the trade
these goods could be offered at moder
ate figures, as it gives an opportunity
for a natural, healthy develoment of
the manufacturing business, for it be-
gins to look as if it had now come to
stay and prohibitory prices Of raw leaf
would greatly handicap. For the pack
ers, too, it is a good thing to unload
their holdings now when another crop
is ready for investment. This carrying
over from one year to another of old
tobacco has been proven to be an ex-
pensive business.

The opening of the doors of this coun-
try to the entry of Philippine cigars
may not prove such boon to that in
dustry as was expected after all.
Whether Americans want to smoke
Filipino cigars is a debatable question.
Some do and some don't. 1t appears
that there are more than twelve mil
lion Manila cigars in the hands of i'm
porters and dealers and the demand for
them slow. The United Cigar Stores
Co. have four roillion of them which
the smoker is slow to buy, and it is
feared by the insular department they
will be closed out below cost or thrown
on the American market at ruinous
prices with the result that the industry

would suffer. 1t will be noticed that
the domestic manufacturers are not
shedding many tears over the condition.
The attempt of the government to
build up foreign trade to the detri-
ment of home producers is not entitled
to very much sympathy, especially in
an article which hasn't much merit to
recommend it.
