SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Jan. 10, 1911.
A fine tobacco damp last week and
another this week, as result of the
rain which set in Sunday night, have
enabled the large growers to finish TAX
ing down their 1910 tobacco. Small
growers, except in. rare instances, had
their tobacco down before the new
year. If there is any tobacco still
hanging on the poles it is from the
growers own choice. The season has
been remarkable for the number of
damps. Almost from the time the
early crops were cured there have been
rains at sufficiently frequent intervals
to enable growers to keep the ware
houses well supplied with Atobacco in
the bundle. Only in a few tobacco
towns has there been sufficient snow to
cover the ground.
There is no abatement IN interest In
the boom in shaded tobacco. A num-
Der of unannounced deals are in the air,
and attempts, it is said, are being made
by men of means to interest farmers IN
shaded tobacco ventures. The Tobacco
Leafs estimate of shaded tobacco
area of 1900 acres, or upward, in the
Connecticut valley this year still holds

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, Jan. 20, 1911.

EDGERToN, Wis, Jan. 90, 1911.
There is not much trading in the new
crop going on, though few buyers are
circulating the growing districts some
since the holidays, more to see how
much of the crop came down from the
sheds during the brief casing spell. 1t
was found, however, that only small
fraction was removed as the weather
was too cold for the stems to soften.
Packers are beginning to get anxious
to start warehouse operations and we
learn that the American Tobacco Co.
have given orders to receive parts of
crops when they are down and stripped.
The whole situation is being held up by
the absence of proper casing weather.
The market for OF 'eaf does not yet
show the expected wal with the new
year. A moderate amount of trade in
a small way comes to the dealers all
the time, but no transactions of any
moment are reported. In this respect
the local market only reflects the con-
dition of the eastern centers of trade.
The shipments out of storage reach
3I6 cases and cars of bundles from
this market to all points for the week.
Since last report 13 cars have been
received.

NEW YORK, Jan. IA, 1911.

NEW YORK, Jan. Ia, 1911. 4
Another dull week to the credit or
rather discredit of the new year. Evil
IDENTIFY manufacturers seem to be still
busy taking stocks and balancing books
and have not, therefore, found time to
take survey of the leaf market. Dis
couraging as this dullnesS would ap-
pear it is overshadowed by the depress-
ing effects of the sudden thunderbolts
of failures and private settlements
which have struck the market in the
two weeks of the new year. Although
natural as the breaking down of the
human system, the trade has for some
years been spared the frequency OF
such collapses IN the period of starting
a new years career. And so the mar
ket has become unused to these shocks
and knocks. 1t takes them, therefore,
more seriously and less philosophically.
But trading cannot be done without
being crudely reminded once in while
that credit is fragile reed easily brOk-
en-. The lesson of these disturbances
will undoubtedly lead to stricter scru-
tinizing of accounts and to drawing
somewhat tighter the strings of credit
giving. But regrettable as such dis
turbances are they do not denote the
least a decentralization of the leaf mar
ket which is bound to flourish during
the year with a progressive output of
our cigar industry.
There are among our city factories a
number of concerns so solidly butressed
in the business that it may be said of
them they are never in want of orders.
Long service to the trade in the produc-
ton of goods of certain stability, close
attention to the brands, courtesy to
their customers and the utilization of
progressive measures in keeping their
lines prominently before the attention
of distributors, assures them flow OF
orders which only varies with the f1uc-
tuations of actual consumption. Even
during the panic, these houses, while
they undoubtedly experienced the heavi-
est end of the aggregate losses in con-
sumption, still had profits to show for
their business operations and this, not
withstanding continuance of normally
heavy operating expenses. Consplcu-
ously in this category are the great
seed and nickel factories whose goods
are known and noted from one end of
the country to the other. And just now
the superintendents of these concerns
find no fault with business. Orders are
coming along in excellent bulk; there
is no particular strength, but no great
weakness in the demand. Journal.

hands. The packers consider it high
priced goods now, because the owners
are not disposing of it at the price pre-
vailing earlier in the season. In fact,
10 and 8 cents are among the things
that were, and II, liz and IL cents, and
even 13 cents, are among "what are. /"
Quite a number of the growers who
have tobacco yet are not in a hurry to
sell, as they believe the goods can be
disposed of later, even more advant-
ageously than at present. All reports
indicate that the tobacco is in good
shape and stripping out nicely. There
is some pole-burn but not an unusual
amount, and this is the only blight. =

The local market in old goods the
past week was just as dull as the week
previous, as dull, in fact, as it has been
for a number of weeks, and while the
packers are brimful of hope, they are
obliged to confess that they see moth
ing on which to base hopes for an early
revival of business. A revival, too,
must have something to go on, any kind
of revival must have, and 1t is not
apparent what the majority of the
packers would have to offer in trade
even if the revival came. The bulk of
the 1909 packing is still unfit for the
manufacturer.
Interest just now centers in the new
