New England.

Of the 1910 crops the major portion
has passed into the hands of a few
large buyers who are in direct competi-
ton with packing interests, and the
prices paid for the goods were so high
that packers did not procure in the
quantities which they usually buy.
Accounts of the recent operations of
the large tobacco concerns, who have
been buying farms in the Connecticut
valley, are the A. M. Graves farm at
Sufield, also fifty acres at Suffield and
CRANKY by another company and $40
acres at North Bloomfield. Not all of
this area will be devoted to shade
growing this year, but the companies
are reported to have taken option on
several hundred thousand acres more OF
ouantitv of Havana seed leaf under
shade. Some of the best land in the
valley is included in these purchases. -

NEW YORK, Feb. II, 1911.


Market conditions continue favorable
for those who are still holding season
able stock. An expansive activity of
the leaf market seems to be limited,
however, by the ever growing scarcity
of such types as are mostly in need and
demand. The great packing houses
have nearly all disposed of the bulk of
their holdings of old leaf. And large
transactions will hardly become again
a matter of record before the new crops
are sampled. The 1909 Wisconsin sells
wherever it can be found and SO do GER
tain types Of filler leaf. The advance
of prices seems to be taken into the
bargain as a matter of course. The
craze about the shade-grown Connecti-
cut remains unabated and like all such
crazes in this country they are likely to
be overdone and somebody will have to
pay the piper. The Sumatra is being
cleared out most effectively, and the
new inscriptions are likely to find an
almost clean slate in the market. Ha-
vana remains also in steady demand
and desirable old lots are easily dispos-
ed of. The reports on the new Havana
crop from every district continue to be
most encouraging and the prospects,
therefore, for very brisk Havana trad
ing when the new crops come in the
market are brighter than they have
been for years. s.-Jo ournal.

brought only thirteen cents. The bulk
of it has been slow going through the
sweat, and it will not be ready for the
manufacturer for months. Some of the
best of our dealers say good deal will
still be unsold when the crop now going
into the warehouses will be on the mar
ket.
At least two weeks ago the packers
estimated that ninety per cent OF the
new crop had been bought up, but SO
much remained in growers hands that
original estimates had to be revised,
and it is believed now that ten per cent
still remains uncontracted for, and this
too, in spite of the active buying OF the
past week. The growers are stripping
as fast as they can, and delivering as
soon as stripped, because they want to
get it off their hands before spring
work on the farm begins, when they
would be handicapped with tobacco
work to look after. Plenty of packers
are hard pressed already to find place
in their warehouses for the goods COM
ing in.
The statement that a good deal of
1910 tobacco will be ready for the mar
ket before there is general movement
of the 1909 goods was given partial
verifcation lately by the sale OF a big
packing Of 1910 to Philadelphia firm
by Jacob Hoober.
The largest recent sale o 1909 goods
was recently made by Joseph Shirk,
but the price was not made public

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, Feb. II, 1911.

EDGERToN, WIS.,, Feb. II, 1911.
A week of soft weather with indica.
tions of a breakup of the country roads
has interfered somewhat with the buy
ing movement as we'll as the delivery
of the crop. But the inclination to take
over the remaining portion of the crop
seems present and trading in quiet
way goes forward. The following sales
have come to notice showing the range
of prices:
Andrew Anderson, 10a at 8&2c.
Tom Moore, 10a at 63c.
E. Haylock, ga at 63c.
Neil Mckinley, "a at 1889.
About the same conditions maintain
in the old leaf market that have pre-
vailed for several weeks past. A mod
crate amount of trading in small lots is
reported, including occasional sales OF
'06, but the only sale of any moment
is 225cs lot of '08 "B's" by G. M.
Decker to Culton & We'll. The Kinney
& Strand packing of '07, $50 cases, at
Colfax, is reported sold to Baines.
Receiving has been going on quite
generally all over the tobacco districts
of the state during the week and very
little or no trouble is experienced in
the settlements. Warehouse handling
is we'll started at the packing points
and in most places there is an abun-
dance of help for all needs.
The shipments out of storage reach
889 cases and car loads of bundles to
all points from this station. Since last
report Is car loads have been received
from outside points, including 4 car
loads of Connecticut valley leaf for
warehouse handling.

NEW YORK, Feb. z, 1911.

The local leaf trade in domestic to-
baccos has been decidedly dull in the
past week and the general aspects of
the situation have undergone no change.
A small buying movement in Connecti-
cut is noted, and there is deadlock
between buyers and sellers in Pennsyl-
vania. Preparations are being made
for extensive shade-growing operations
in Connecticut, and there seems good
reason to believe that the shade area
in Florida will be the smallest in years.
Packing houses in the cigar leaf Sec
tions are in operation. Leaf.

Local buyers are acquiring some crops
that were left unsold last fall and the
figures paid are about the same as
formerly, but they say that good leaf
is hard to find. The grasshopper-eaten
and the wind-whipped is strongly in
evidence, so that cents and less is
about the top figure for some of the
goods. Occasionally there is deal at
81 cents.

The Lancaster tobacco market the

the high prices demanded by growers

1t might be inferred from perusing
ing the eastern tobacco journals that
there are some transactions practiced
among the leaf trade even that would
hardly bear the light of investigation
by the standard of square deal. And
to remedy the shady deals and give the
business an air of respectability 1T IS
proposed to have permanent bureau
of complaints, to which any leaf dealer
or manufacturer, whether member OF
the board or not, may come with any
grievance he may have, by subscitu-
tion, irregular or other improper prac-
tice. Mr.. Neuberger is sponsor for the
scheme and his argument showed that
the ultimate consignee of bale or case
of leaf, especially the small leaf dealer
or the manufacturer, is entitled to as
surance that he is getting what he con-
tracted for; that check should be
provided on inspections, while guarding
the identity of private inspection marks;
that the best way to render certain
condition in the industry 'above sus-
picion'' is to provide tribunal which
shall make its business to searchingly
inquire into any trade abuse and that
any large or small dealer may have
proper tribunal to go before and give
vent privately to any grievance ne may
have.

Recently while talking with repre-
sentative of the New England Home
stead, Thaddeus Graves Jr. of Hatfield,
Mass, said: 'sBulk sweating tobacco
is certainly successful. believe it IS
possible to handle tobacco in this man
ner more proftably and with more GER
tainty as to the outcome than by case
sweating the crop. The tobacco should
be sweated as it comes from the poles
after it has been primed and cured.
With the strings left in the tobacco,
which were used to sew the leaves TO
the laths, it is easier to shake out to-
bacco after bulk sweating, and thus
handle it with more facility. Very uni
form product can be secured by bulk
sweating before asserting. Where an
even color is obtained tobacco should
bring better price than where the
cigar manufacturers are forced to hire
extra men to sort the cigars because of
the many shades of wrappers used.
was recently talking with manufac-
turer on this subject and he assured
me that one of the reasons why some
of the shade-grown tobacco was bring
ing such high prices was because OF It's
very uniform color. The tobacco az
some of the big shade-growing estaD-
lishments here in the valley is bulk
sweated and then assorted and sold Oh
rectly to the trade.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

It will be a matter of considerable
interest to the tobacco trade generally
to learn that the insurance rates on all
tobacco risks have been materially low
cred in western territory, which in a
measure correspond to the decrease
already secured in New York and other
large centers of trade. The rates on
both buildings and contents have been
lowered from 2 to 20 per cent according
to exposures and conditions, and in the
better class of risks will amount to con-
siderable saving of premiums to the in
sured. We are creditably informed thaG
a local insurance representative pre-
sented facts and figures to the authcrl-
ties which no doubt had beneficial eff
feet in bringing about this reduction.
The tobacco trade has always felt that
the extra hazard placed upon their bus
mess was rather an unjust discrimina-
tion and sooner or later the insurance
companies would be able to see the
justice of demand for more moderate
rates. The concession recently granted
though belated will be greatly appre-
.ciated. The amount of money paid to
the insurance companies on tobacco
risks carried in this state the past
quarter of century has been many
times the lossee paid, making it one of
the most profitable lines carried. We
are pleased to know that the insurance
people are willing to introduce new
rate sheets.
The most surprising thing about the
movement of last seasons crop is the
apparent desire of the big trust to ab-
sorb an almost unlimited quantity of
ut. Of the cheaper grades, OF which
there was seemingly no end, the Amer
iican Tobacco Co. has been buying al
most steadily for six months until it is
probable that fully half the acreage OF
the state has passed into it's hands. It
lis not the quality but rather the guam
tity that interests this branch of the
trust and whenever tobacco can be pur-
chased at stated price their buyers
can always be found in the market
without any limit as to quantity. The
conclusion, therefore, is that for
'scrap" purposes Wisconsin leaf is
most desirable and an overstock can
not be had. Of course price is the con-
trolling element. Whenever it is cheap
enough, it is good. We have often
wondered what would happen to the
price of low grades if the American
Tobacco Co. were not on hand to take
over the surplus in seasons like the
present one when the drought, grass
hoppers and hail had taken the crop
largely out of the binder class.
