NEW YORK. Dec. 12. 1911,

The first primings of the 1911 Con-
necticut shade-grown tobacco have been
shown, and a number of sales are re-
ported. The tobacco is moving off
nicely. There have also been num-
Der of important deals in Wisconsin,
which is becoming very scarce. In fact,
the binder situation is more serious
than in many years, and there is no
doubt that binders will rule higher un-
til another supply comes in. The 1911
Ohio crop, it is said, does not promise
large yield of good, serviceable filler
tobacco, which fact will undoubtedly be
of assistance to the packers in getting
rid of their 1909 packings. The 1911
crop is said to be one-fourth thinner
Spanish, one-fourth Little Dutch and
one-half Gebhardt. Until few years
ago thinner Spanish occupied the
greater portion of the cigar leaf acre
age in that state. The change is said
to be due to the fact that farmers have
found Gebhardt more profitable, owing
to it's weight. They can raise 1900
pounds of Gebhardt per acre as against
700 or 800 pounds of Zimmers. Leaf.

Stripping is nearly finished in the
country and growers are clamoring for
early delivery dates. The American

Wednesday when so acres were taken

Even the set policy of the cigar man
ufacturing industry to postpone at this
time of the year the making of new
leaf contracts until after the holidays
and inventory-t taking is brushed to one
side in the eagerness to secure future
stocks of essential types of tobaccos
which are scarce, today, and promise
to be even more difficult to obtain. The
sales, this week, by one firm of Wis
consin packings of '09 and 10, aggre-
eating in all 2. 500 cases, illustrate this
realization of the seriousness of the
binder situation. Stocks of Sumatra
tobaccos, both in the hands of import
ers and manufacturers, are being used
up literally and there is a certain pros
pect that the first of March will find
the holdings of this standard wrapper
at very low ebb This, naturally,
turns interest to the crop which will
come on the market next spring. Local
importations of Havana leaf are NOV
ing at normal gait, but brisk trading
is expected after the holidays are over.
A moderately fair amount of business
will be carried over In uncompleted con-
tracts for shipment after the close OF
the year. The market seems to be
steadying at all ends, in line with the
greater courage being manifested in
the country's staple industries. Col
lections are still very slow with few
bright spots, such as Chicago, Omaha
and Indianapolis, which are classed high

Some stripping of the new crop has
already been done, but as the weather
was not favorable for it, and the grow
ers feel there is no special reason for
haste, not yet having sold their crops,
it will be some time before stripping
becomes general. And the local pack
ers feel an unusual interest in stripping
operations this season, because of their
anxiety to get line on the crop and
Judge how it is going to pan out Quite
a number of buyers who have been rid
ing the country, giving such necessar-
lily imperfect examinations as were
possible with the tobacco hanging in
the shed, have expressed the belief

some of the growers are willing to ad-
nit that there is more of this than
usual, the bulk of them will admit
nothing of the kind, and declare there
is no more damaged tobacco than usual.
A few crops have been bought at ten
and eleven cents. Most of the growers
want more. A few modest ones even
demand fourteen and fifteen cents. A
representative of the United Cigar
Manufacturers Co. was here last week
looking over the field and left without
buying single crop. Under existing
it is safe to predict that
the buying will be unusually late this
season, and the holders of 1909 goods
are rejoicing because this is so, be-
lieving it will give them better chance
to sell, this being about the only old
goods in the Lancaster market. The

growers really find themselves unable
to take down much tobacco at time,
there being so much moisture still in
the stems that the stalks would rot in
the pile. While we give the opinion of
the bulk of the trade, it is only fair to
say that some of our best dealers, ex-
perts OF years standing, have no harsh
criticism for the 1911 crop. They be-
lieve the greater percentage will turn
out all right, and the packers will get
what they want, if only the growers
will exercise care in stripping and
throw out the bad stuff. The unusual
length of the leaf is drawback, ard a
lot of it is too fimsy, but taken as
whole, the crop will yield vast supply
of excellent filler goods.
The 1909 goods continue to move, but
only in small lots, at the prices prevail

Early casing weather has brought SO
much of the crop out OF the curing
sheds and stripping now SO we'll along
that there promises to be the biggest
for early delivery dates ever
heard of in this state. Every farmer
will be ready to deliver now shortly and
very naturally anxious to count the
proceeds Of his crop. And here is where
the dealer who has large acreage
under contract faces vexations and
trouble. He cannot surely receive ev-
erybody's tobacco the same day, the
same week or the same month, that
would be physical impossibili4y. He
can only take it in as the storage facil-
tiles at the packing points will permit.
1t is usual to extend the delivery over
three or four months, but this year
everybody will be crowding for early
dates, but growers will be asking for
something they not ought to expect.
Some firms receive their purchases In
the order of the serial numbered con-
tracts, which has generally been sat
isfactory way In any event from this
on the dealers promise to be swamped
with requests for delivery dates. There
are plenty Of excuses besides tax pay
ing time to offer for the privilege of an
early delivery.

The United States supreme court has
refused the request of the Leaf Tobac-
co board Of trade of New York to re-
view the decree of the United States
circuit court, which approved the reor-
ganization plan of the American To-
bacco Co. In rendering it's decision on
December 18th, three reasons were as
signed by Chief Justice White, and are
as follows: Zone who is not a party
to record and judgment is not enti-
tied to appeal therefrom. The action
of the court below in refusing 70 per-
nit the movers to become parties to
the record is not susceptible of being
reviewed by this court on appeal or in
directly under the circumstances here
disclosed by the writ of mandamus.
Vacant offices; desks, chairs and type
writing machines bereft of the clerks
and stenographers to whom they had
grown fixed parts of their business be-
ings-a aching voids where until little
more than week ago hundreds of men
and women, growing youths and misses
worked for liberal and certain salaries.
On one floor alone upwards of $50 minor
employees were let go. The trade vis-
itor familiar with III Fifth Avenue
since it became identified in the indus
try as the home of the largest tobacco
entity would hardly recognize it today.
The interior of the Constable building
bears melancholy testimony to the
drastic character of the Tobacco disso-
luton. It looks. indeed, as if a hurri-
cane had struck it. Office rooms bare
and tenantless; carpets and mating
rolled up and ready for removal; pic
lures and frames torn from the walls;
scores of old and familiar faces-gone

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

Deliveries of the new crop have pro-
ceeded far enough to demonstrate that
there will be some heavy stems, espec-
tally in the later tobacco, and it will
therefore not be strange if complaints
of dockage are heard. The long price
at which most of the better grades
were bought at very naturally pre-
cludes the presumption that packers
will receive high case or wet butts at
contract price for merchantable leaf.
There is a reasonable standard of pack
ing condition that IA and Is cent to-
bacco must reach before the dealer will
willingly part with his money. Grow
ers who deliver tobacco not up to that
standard should expect to stand a cut to
correspond to the deficiency. The pack
er we'll knows that Is cents in the bum
die means cost of 20 cents in the
cases year later which is all the more
a reason why he should protect himself
against receiving tobacco liable to ex-
cessive shrinkage if not to damage in
the cases. A little common sense
would adjust most cases Of difference
of this character when they arise.
Never before in the history of this
state has so large proportion of any
tobacco crop been sold previous to any
portion of the crop being delivered.
Contracts for future delivery have TAX
en- over better than 80 per cent Of it,
either in the field or upon the poles in
the curing sheds. 1t is generally con-
ceded that the crop is more closely
gathered than in many years after the
buying season closed. One thing is
certain, there will not be much trading
done in the country districts until an
other crop is grown. Old leaf in coun-
try hands is about as scarce as was
ever before known. After delivery Of
the present crop Wisconsin growers
will be about as thoroughly relieved of
their tobacco holdings as they ever
could hope for.
