NEW YORK. Nov. %. 1911,

Wisconsin and Pennsylvania have had
the centre Of the stage in the local
market this week. Northern Wiscon-
sin has been selling at 20 and II cents.
The Pennsylvania has been selling at
from Is to II cents, marked weights,
the latter being paid for prime pack
ings only.
Sumatra. Local Sumatra houses re-
port continued brisk inquiry. Their
offerings, however, have been picked
over again and again, and nothing re-
mains but medium and dark grades.
The importers insist that in these types
they can offer some very serviceable
wrappers at reasonable prices.
Havana. The recent rains on the is
land of Cuba have interfered with COM
munication from the interior. Hence it
is impossible to say just to what extent
the tobacco planting has been interfer-
ed with. The general belief here is
that the accounts sent out from Ha-
vana have been exaggerated. That
some damage has been done, of course,
is certain, but the local packing houses
take hope from the fact that the crop
can get along better with too much
water than too little. There has been
some activity in the city of Havana,
several sales being reported. The New
York market is dull Leaf.

NEW ORk, Dec. Z, 1911.
The leaf market is beginning to feel
the effects of the ebbing of the year
towards its close Except for immedi-
ate needs manufacturers are loathe to
lay in supplies just now on account of
the necessity of stock-taking and in
ventory for the government books at
the beginning of the new year. New
ertheless the market is not altogether
comatose. Trading is constantly going
on in binder and filler stocks, although
not to any bnlky extent in single trans
actions, Both types are in eager de-
mand, And if prices could be shaded
down transactions would be brisker
even if actual delivery would have to
be deferred. The wrapper situation
does not call for special comment. Do
mestic wrapper leaf, at least of the de-
sirable grade, is scarce, as are also the
light grades Of Sumatra All demands
for Sumatra, and they continue to be
dunn color leaf. The Havana leaf mar
ket kept it's own during the short ex-
element of the exaggerated reports
by the recent torrential downuours
The damage done is likely to be re.
paired, though it may add to the in.
creased cost of producing the new crop.
Production in the large nickel fac.
tories is at the very limit of capacity
There is quiet movement in fine Seec
lines. The Clear Havana factories are
cleaning up on their holiday orders
Collections are very backward, accord
ing to most reports, and there is {
tendency to give the coming new yeal
a black eye before its dawn. journal

Brisk buying OF the new crop is re-
ported in the Connecticut valley and
concessions are being made, it is said,
by buyers in the case of extra choice
crops A damp is needed to enable the
growers to deliver considerable num-
Der of crops recently purchased. A
heavy rain fell last Friday, but in most
parts of the valley the temperature
was too low to result in a damp.

Almost two years after the statistics
were gathered the census report on to-
baoco manufactures is now made pub
lie. The land in tobacco rose from
1,1O1, 900 acres in 1899 to !, ,295, 000 acres
in 1909, an increase of $4,000 acres, or
17.6 per cent. The percentage of in
crease in production was somewhat
larger, the crop of 1909 being 1,055,
765, 900 pounds, as compared with 86S, :
113,O0 pounds in 1899, an increase of
1877, 652, 900 pounds, or ZIG per cent.
The average production per acre in
creased from 788 pounds to 815 pounds.
With the increased acreage and pro-
duction is found an enormous increase
in the value of the tobacco crop, which
increased from $56, ,988, 900 to $104, 303, :
600, or 83 per cent. The average value
per pound thus rose from 6.6 cents to
80 cents, or so per cent. Wisconsin is
given the 7th rank in the producing
states with an acreage of 40, 48S and a
19 per cent increase for the ten years.
The value of the crop in this state is
given at So, ,855, ,033, an increase of 33
per cent over the last census. The
largest acreage in tobacco was found in
1909, as in 1899, in Kentucky, North
Carolina and Virginia, in order Of rank,
Kentucky leading with 469, 795 acres, or
considerably over one-third of the total
acreage of the country in tobacco.
These three states combined had. in
1909, 877, 112 acres in tobacco, or nearly
seven-tenths of the land planted to the
crop. According to the report of the
census bureau in 1909 there were 49,
822 establishments engaged in the to-
bacco industry, as against 16,827 in
1904, a decrease of 6 per cent. The
capital invested is reported to have
been in the first mentioned year $245,-
$50, 600, decrease of S78, ,322, 900, or "a
per cent, over 1904 The value of pro-
ducts was S416, 695, 900 in 1909, and
S331, IL, 900 in 1904, an increase OF 26
per cent. The cost of material used in
1909 was SIT, 1856, 600, the value added
by manufacturers was $239, 509, 900; the
miscellaneous expenses amounted to
S102, 653, 900, and salaries and wages
were $86, 134, 900. The average num-
Der of wage-earners employed during
1909 was 166, $40.

EDGERToN, WIS.,, Dec. s, 1911.

EDGERToN, Wis, Dee. s, 1911.
By raising the limit trifle the buy
ers of low grade leaf have been able to
lift quite large portion of the unsold
portion of the crop the past few weeks.
This means that very few of the con-
tracts were placed below &c straight,
while fraction above that figure was
the usual price paid. 1t is hardly prob
able that over Is per cent of the crop
remains unsold at this date A few
transactions coming to notice are:
John Stoke, ga at 10&3c.
S. E. Vinger, Sa at TIC.
Jens Olson, ga at TIC.
John Bovere, Ia at 73c.
Ole Kaupanger, 8a at 10c; 3a at &c.
Nothing but a moderate trade has
developed in the cured leaf market.
John Linaas has sold his 150cs packing
of 1910 Fred Eckhart is credited with
having disposed of about 500cs, mainly
low grades, to the American Tobacco
Co. Some contracts have been placed
with the packers for the low grades of
the new crop. The American Cigar
Co., we are informed, have turned
about one million pounds of 1911 low
grades to an independent concern.
Casing weather would be welcome as
farmers are ready to give attention to
stripping the crop.
The shipments out of storage reach
about $50 cases from this market to all
points for the week.

futter of expectancy through the
growers. Some of the tobacco sold
brought eleven and two cents, and that
is higher price than the packers
thought to give. Some only brought
ten and four, but tfo other price has
put the idea into & growers heads
that if they only keep firm in their de-
mand they will uoJ be disappointed
when selling tine comes. Just how
large percentage of the crop has been
damaged by pole-burn nobody can
judge, because only very cursory ex-
animation was possible of the crops in-
spected in the sheds by the dealers.
Most of the farmers would be satisfied
with eleven cents, hut some of them
expect twelve and thirteen, and even
more.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

Based upon the annual production of
cigars in this country, good judges es-
innate that at least $4,000, 900 pourds
of binder stock is needed to supply the
needs of the manufacturers of domestic
cigars each year. This is more binder
leaf than Wisconsin has ever produced
even in years when we grew perfect
crop. With a normal yield of say 50
million pounds it is noways probable
that 35 million would class as binders.
So even if our tobacco was all consum-
ed at home our state at present is not
growing what the market needs in
binder tobaccos, showing that the in
crease in production has not kept pace
with the manufacturing demands. The
market now draws from to 10 million
pounds of binders from New England
each year and were it not for the sub
stitutes of other leaf being used the
market would find itself strictly up
against it on the binder proposition.
Looking these figures in the face it
would appear that remunerative prices
are ahead for Wisconsin tobacco grow
er for years to come. This view is also
strengthened by the fact that all the
good tobacco of last seasons crop has
brought exceptionally strong prices.
These are matters for the growers to
think about and discuss before laying
the plans for another crop. The state
might safely increase its acreage for
few years now without any danger OF
an over production or likelihood of
suffering any depreciation in prices
should fairly good crops be produced.
The court which passed upon the re-
organization plan of the big tobacco
trust must look upon the good will OF
an established business as a thing OF
much value, as we note in the recap
italization of Lorillard and Liggett &
Meyers companies So million dollars
tories, machinery and stock, are con-
veyed to them by the American To-
hacco Co. as well as Sc million dollars
worth of intangible assets, such as
trade marks, brands, good will, etc La
other words, nearly one-half the capi-
tai consists of purely the good will OF
the business. 1t is probably true that
in no other line of trade are the good
will, trade marks and brands so val
liable as in tobacco manufacturing. But
to person not acquainted with these
facts, or the skeptical in general, they
fail to observe where very much water
has been squeezed out of the big cor
poration in the manipulating process.
] The court has doubtless permitted the
same percentage of watered securities
in the units as prevailed in the parent
company.
