London, Feb. 25.-The Canadian
reciprocity discussion has grown to
immense proportions and has resulted
in some strong editorials by the Lon.
don newspapers. That there are
Canadians who could want such a
thing seems impossible to many of
the leading journals, while others pro-
fess to see nothing but good results
from such an agreement between the
United States and Canada. Secretary
of State Knox's statement that the
agreement is one of trade and not one
of politics has not had quite the eff.
feet over here that 1t was perhaps
hoped, but even the most violent OPP
ponent's of reciprocity content them
selves with the thought that If an
nexation between the United States
and Canada should result, 1t will not
be for many years at least. Which
seems to the layman quite sensible
thought indeed.

NEW YORK. April 10. 1911.

A survey of the local cigar leaf mar
ket does not disclose any signs of re-
turning activity. The dullness that has
characterized it in the past thirty days
is intensified, if anything, and from the
eastern part of the country come re-
ports of slackening in the manufac-
turing industry which cannot have
otherwise than bad effect upon leaf
conditions. In the West the factories
are still reported as working at capac-
ity. Whether this state of affairs is to
continue through the summer is a sub
ject for discussion. One mans guess
is as good as another's. In other in
dustries than Ours business is also poor,
but there has also been theory IN the
trade that the cigar business was not
dependent upon the general industrial
condition of the country. Whether the
theory is justified of the facts, this de-
ponent sayeth not. From Lancaster
comes the news that Western factories
are continuing to buy in small quanti-
ties the 1909 crop, the total movement
in which, however, has approximated a
considerable volume of business. And
from The fact that some of the tobacco
bought is not at present suitable for
immediate use, it is fair assumption
that the factories buying are stocking
up against their future needs. Binder
stocks are in demand, and the shortage
of the Wisconsin crop is driving many
to look to the Connecticut and Penn
sylvania 1910 crops in this particular. =

York, Pa.

The new packing, that of 1910, is
running neck and neck with the older
goods, and as matter of course, is
selling on its merets. The dealers here
believe that large percentage will be
used as binders, for which it is well
adapted, being put to this purpose be-
cause of the short Wisconsin crop. 1t
is, of course, somewhat coarser than
the Wisconsin tobacco, but there is no
doubt it will prove an excellent substi-
tute. Comparative little Of the new
crop remains in the growers hands
now, but they are asking enough for it,
some demanding as high as fifteen
cents, which none are likely to get.

LANCASTER, PA, April II, 1911.
Having found favor with the trade at
last, the 1909 tobacco, the only goods
in the hands of the Lancaster dealers,
is selling now right along. j. H.
Weaver & Co. sold one hundred cases
this week to Western parties. Another
lot of fifty cases also went to Western
ers While the aggregate of recent
sales is considerable, they were in small
lots. Prices have ranged from fourteen
to sixteen and one-half cents actual
weight. With revival of the rather
depressed cigar industry, it is conf
dently predicted that buying will be-
come very active AS matter of fact,
the dealers could have sold much more
if they were willing to scale prices a

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN, WIS, April %, 1911.
The local tobacco markets provide
very little news worthy of mention
these days. With the buying season
ended and the warehouse work of ham
ding the crop fast drawing to close,
there is not much left to be said. Each
week sees few more of the sorting
house closed down and a few more days
will finish the handling of the 1910 crop.
Culton & We'll have yet to size and
pack their Ohio purchases and when
help is released from the warehouses
yet working, stemming operations will
be started by T. B. Earle and continue
during the greater part of the summer,
employing quite large force.
The most important transaction in
old leaf for some months has been con-
sumated during the week, being the
sale of close to 1000 cases of 1906, the
packing of Conway Bros. to c. H.
Spitzner & Son of New York. 1t is
rumored that the goods ultimately go to
one of the largest manufacturing con-
Germs and removes from the market one
of the two large packings of thatyear's
growth which has caused so much loss
and worry to holders.
Growers have their seed beds for
another crop pretty generally sown
and weather conditions have been suit
able. for this work.
The shipments out of storage reach
400 cases from this market to all points
for the week past. Since last report

The problem of help next fall for a
period of six to eight weeks on the
west side of the Connecticut river
promises to be an acute one, says the
n. E. Homestead. Within the area OF
a comparatively few square miles some
thing like 100 to 1900 acres of tobacco
will probably be primed. This district,
as all tobacco growers grant, is one OF
the most intensely cultivated of any in
all New England 1t is estimated the
amount of land devoted to shade-grown
tobacco in the vicinity of Windsor will
be fully 500 acres, Suffield land extend
ing to Windsor Locks and Feeding Hills
240 acres, South Windsor and Man
chester 100 acres, East Windsor about
so acres, Hazardville 100 acres or more,
CRANKY and East CRANKY about 400
acres, Bloomfield 400 acres, Slmsbury.
including Tariffville, 300 acres or more.
In this locality, where shade-grown to-
bacco has made such marvellous growth,
this year much tobacco will be grown
in the open and primed on the same
plantations with the shade-grown, and
also on other tobacco farms. When the
first inkling was obtained OF what was
likely to happen in the increase OF
shade-grown acreage this year, farm
ers generally raised the question,
whence is the help coming to harvest
this tobacco? It is estimated by 2. H.
Keife, formerly of Westfield, and now
with the Carol & Davis company of
North Bloomfield, Ct., that it will take
at least two girls to the acre to harvest
this tobacco working, say, a period of
six to eight weeks. Some of the large
corporations are in position to obtain
help from Hartford; others are not.
Last pear special trains were run from
that city to some of the plantations at
an enormous expense to get help at
these farms This year bids fair TO see
lively skirmish for girls and boys or
help of any description to prime tobac-
co. The Carol & Davis company think
they will solve the problem by erecting
two large bungalows sufficiently fitted
to make living comfortable, and import
help from some of the large cities.
Matrons will be supplied 20 look after
the girls, and everything done to make
life comfortable. 1t is thought many
eleemosynary Institutions will be glad

ORFORDVlLLE, w lS., ApIll ~, 10ll.
The Campbell & Peterson Tobacco
company expect to complete their pack
ing of tobacco for the season some time
this week. 1t has been a long job this
year to pack the 700 cases, owing to
the poor condition of the crop as it
came from the growers, who this year
found it almost impossible to deliver it
in condition to save warehouse labor of
careful asserting of the damaged stock.
Scarcely single crop was handled that
did not contain more or less of dam
aged leaves, and in most instances the
damage was extensive, the most of it
being grasshopper holes with some hail
cut. It is estimated by some packers
that the crop this season represented
third more warehouse labor than the
ordinary crop, end this of course adds
considerable to the cost to the packer.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

Dealers in the improved strains Of
tobacco seed report good sales this sea-
son, which is an encouraging indication
that growers are listening to the ad-
vice SO often given that only the best
strains of pure Spanish seed should be
planted. The days of the large, coarse,
hybridized leaf seem to be numbered.
It is not size so much as quality of leaf
that the market most demands. The
manufacturers are becoming more par
tial to moderate sized, fine veined leaf
for binder purposes, and dealers are
finding it harder to dispose OF the
coarse, overgrown tobacco than for
nerly. Besides, the genuine Spanish
type tobacco natures earlier and is not
subject to the dangers of our early
frosts as the larger varieties. While
the yield may not be as large, the price
for the former is pretty sure to make
up the difference. If the growers are
wise they will guage their crops by the
standard of the Spanish type of Ha-
vana seed.
The Mcintosh Bros, tobacco dealers
of Edgerton, are preparing to make the
experiment of growing primed tobac-
co crop in Wisconsin this season. An
acre of choice land in high state of
cultivation near the feeding yards has
been secured for that purpose and seed
obtained from the Connecticut valley
for the planting. When the crop is
ready for harvest it is proposed to
pluck the leaves from the stalks in the
field and cure it by the method prac-
ticed by the raisers of shade-grown in
the Connecticut valley. If the expert
ment proves a success it may lead to a
more extensive production in this state.
~
The proposition of the Cuban govern
ment to provide systems of irrigation
for the tobacco districts of the island
will not alone, in the opinion OF the Y.
S. Tobacco~J ournal, restore the famous
quality of the tobacco produced there.
To do that it would require to supply
Pinar del Rio with plentiful stock of
cattle in order to furnish the farmers
with the only manure likely to give
back to the soil the ingredients for the
old-time qualities of the tobacco. There
can hardly be question that the quall-
ties of the Cuban leaf have been and
are being despoiled by the artificial fer
tilizers in use. 1t is hardly subject to
any doubt any longer that detection in
conbustibility and lack Of the natural
aroma are directly traceable to the use
use of artificial fertilizers. Even the
experience in our own country, partic-
ularly in our New England districts,
proves that only such land raises per-
fectly burning and full quality leaf
! which has been prepared with stable
manure, while the tobacco raised on
| lands prepared with artificial fertilizers
turns out to be deficient in burn as well
as in taste The many revolutions
through which Cuba has prssed have
depleted it of it's necessary stock OF
cattle for the cultivation of it's soil,
particularly of it's tobacco area. And
as the tobacco farmer at large does not
seem to have recovered as yet suffic-
iently to invest from his own funds in
the proper quota of cattle necessary
for the natural manuring of his tobacco
acreage, the government should step IN
and advance the farmer the necessary
funds to do SO.
