NEW ORK, OopC. Z, 1911.
Miserable as the week was made by
the continuous drenching downpour and
premature chilliness of the atmosphere
the leaf trade was by no means soaked
by idleness, for there seems to have
been going on quite an active trading,
so much so that orders were effected by
wire and phone, the surest sign of
a lack of raw material in cigar fac
nories. If manufacturer cannot wait
for a sunny or dry day to make his
leaf selections, but orders them over
the wire, it may be taken for granted
that he is short of proper leaf supply.
Moreover, the incident may be taken as
an indication that the month of August
has been much buster month for the
cigar industry than July was. In fact
the factories are in full swing of ac-
tivity to meet their fall trade and to
prepare for an early holiday rush.
Probably the most surprising news for
the trade will be that the consumption
of Sumatra fell of seven thousand bales
in the last fiscal year as compared with
the consumption during the fiscal year
1909-1810. This is we're likely to
amount to sensation and it will un-
doubtedly be explained in different ways
by the different interests. Itmay have
been due to the poor yielding quality
of the 1909 Sumatra crop; it may have
been due to the larger consumption eff
prime Connecticut and of the Porto
Rican and domestic shaded leaf, and it
may have been due to the snail-like
progress of our cigar output during the
last fiscal Journal

VIRoQUA, WIS, Aug. 80, 1911

To some extent the heated frenzy for
taking over the 1911 tobacco while
standing in the fields, has subsided, al
though by no means has it stopped.
But the onward rush of half hundred
buyers has been to some extent
abated and a number of foreigners
have gone to other fields of operation.
They are now looking the crops over in
Dane, Rock, Columbia, and some north
ern territory that has taken on the cui-
tivation of tobacco. The local situation
is an animated one. Every man and
boy who can be pressed into activity is
employed in the gathering of the splen-
did yield of money-producing "weed Of
evil" Probably no crop has entirely
escaped the slayer's axe, and not few
have completed harvest. But the bulk
of the acreage will be put on poles this
week. Censor.

1t looks as if the first rush to the
green fields was tapering off. While
there are still plenty of buyers scout
ing the country districts trying to find
tobacco worth the price demanded, the
movement seems to be Stacking away
and competition not as strong as the
past few weeks. Some of the larger
concerns have booked contracts for
about their intended acreage and are
proceeding more moderately.
Several thousand acres have doubtless
been contracted for since last report,
though at prices slightly shaded from
those previously quoted.

prices being paid for the better crops:

There are three subjects about which
people interested in domestic leaf are
talking these days, and it is significant
that neither of these is the sale of any
portance comes the damage to the New
England crop by the storm, which was
a calamity. Second is the continued
buying of Wisconsin tobacco at prices
approximating those of 1906, which is
likewise regarded as calamity, and
third is the buying movement in New
England, which lacks being calamity
only in the facts that less unreasonable
prices are being paid and that the stu
alton is less acute than in Wisconsin. =

The Internal Revenue collections for
for the fiscal year ending June 30th,
1911, were the largest in the history of
this country. Substantial gains were
made in the manufacture of Large and
Small Cigars, while Cigarettes contin-
ued their remarkable increase. The
amount collected for taxes for snuff
and smoking and chewing tobacco was
considerably larger than the previous
year, due to the 33s per cent increase
which became effective July 1, 1910?
The actual production of these two
commodities, however, showed slight
decrease, as was to be expected.
The total collections from all sources
an tobacco in the United States during
the fiscal year 1910-191l amounted to
SGT, ,005, ,950.76, as contrasted with S58,
118, 45703 collected during the preced-
ing fiscal year. This is an increase of
1887, ,493. SO, or Is per cent.
The total output of cigars during the
fiscal year amounted to 7,251, 9O4, $50
as contrasted with Z, 40, 229, 837 the pre-
ceding fiscal year, making an increase
of III, ,674, 849 or 1.5 per cent. A year
ago gain of 4.6 per cent was shown
as compared with the preceding year.
Only once has the production of the
fiscal year just ended been exceeded,
that being in 1906-1997 The cigar in
drstry, therefore, is in good, healthy
condition and there is every reason TO
indicate that the output Of the current
fiscal year will at least equal that of
the year last referred to.

Complete returns from the hail-strick-

not materially affect estimates of the
damage, which last week was placed
at $3.50, 600. The single insurance cor

a good loser and is adjusting and set

A disgusted Water street packer,
speaking of the buying movement to a
New York trade journal, said: "Tbey
are paying what ought to be top prices
for the most perfect tobacco that it is
possible to raise in Wisconsin. If they
are getting that kind of tobacco their
prices are justifable. But if they are
getting the average tobacco that ia
produced nine years out of ten, they
are paying great deal too much. From
3a's up, the tobacco will cost the pack
er twenty cents and over. If any dam
age develops between now and the time
the tobacco is ready for use, the prices
they are paying are preposterous, and
there is not single chance for pack
er who pays such prices to come out
even"

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

There are some evidences that the
buying movement carried on under
much pressure for the past few weeks,
is on the wane A few of the large
operators are about getting their fill of
high priced tobacco and are quietly
pulling their men out of the field. 9th
they can take things more moderate and
rest assured of securing all the con-
tracts they desire. And still there is
tobacco left-plenty of it-for all who
may come after. While the greater
portion of what is considered choice
selections is probably already under
contract, there are thousands of acres
yet unsold. And some Of this too is in
the hands of growers who would not
name price or entertain an offer until
the crop was safely housed and ma
tured. In the Vernon section it is esti-
mated that from Is to 90 per cent. of
the crop has been sold, all of which
might hold good in the northern coun-
ties; but in the southern part Of the
state where the great bulk of the crop
is grown, it is doubtful if 40 per cent.
of the acreage is yet under contract.
The question naturally arises, will the
present feld-buying KEEP up until the
balance Of the crop is absorbed? 1t
can hardly be expected that the average
will bring what the choicest selections
sold for, or that the leaf full of hopper
holes will sell at present prices. But
there will be market for every acre
of the present crop at some figures, and
you may rest assured of that.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1911-09-08


If the harvest was little further
along the writer might be justified in
the statement that the present season
is likely to pass without the usual
amount of hail damage to the growing
tobacco crop. So far the amount of
hail damage in the growing sections
does not exceed 800 acres of area all
told, which is far below the average of
a series of years. It is not unusual for
something like twenty-five per cent of
a crop in this state to be more or less
injured either by hail or heavy storms;
but the damage from this source is not
such serious one as formerly to the
grower, for certain market is open
for low grade leaf. Even storm dam
aged tobacco finds a ready sale at from
to cents per pound, which very near
covers the cost of raising and gives a
sort of insurance to the business that
for years the growers did not haye. If
it were not for the work of the pesky
grasshoppers the present crop would
pass for one of the soundest the state
has produced in years. The northern
growing districts are said to be almost
free from these pests.
