NEW YORK, March 2, 1912.
Activity in the leaf market seems to
have relaxed somewhat during the
week, although the general run of bus
mess is reported to have been fair.
Shade-grown Connecticut seems to be
still in the lead of the demand although
other desirable types of leaf get their
share too. A sale of 1900 cases of new
Connecticut Havana seed is reported,
of course, for future delivery. Those
in need of that type will have to hustle
early because of the damaged condition
of the crop. The Sumatra market is
rather quiet as everybody is in eXpec-
tation as to the outcome of the first
inscription which comes off next Fri
day. There seems to be still doubt as
to the exact outcome of the new Ha-
vana crop. While the prospects were
of the brightest only a short while ago,
our last report of Cuba speaks of heavy
rains, the effects of which are feared
upon the body of the leaf. The local
Havana market, however, is fairly ac-
tive
Conditions in the cigar market have
undergone no change, either for the
worse or for the better, but there are
numerous signs that manufacturers are
not going to let business continue slum-
bering undisturbed. A number Of new
sizes and new brands are being got out
to furbish up interest and it is to be
noted that large proportion of these
new goods are wearing Connecticut
shade-grown wrappers, and several of
the manufacturers using this domestic
wrapper leaf freely state their inten-
tion to advertise the fact j ournal.

STOUGHTON, WIS, March 2, 1912.

Some small idea of the value of the
tobacco crop in this vicinity can be
CLEANED from the fact that just one
firm, the P Lorillard Co., received 209
loads of tobacco here last week, for
which they paid in the neighborhood of
10000. The same firm, we under
stand, has been receiving almost every
week day here and in other tobacco
centers for more than seven weeks.
Following is list of tobacco sales
reported to us to have been made to
Holton & Onsgaren.
Anton Furuseth, la at 9&3c.
John Gilbertson, IA at 83c.
S. O. Moe, 8a at &c.
Peter Christianson, ga at 93&2c.
H. Johnson, la at 10&2c.
Peter Hanson, 10a at 9a&2c.
The above listed crops are all high
grade tobacco. Crops cut by grasshop-
pers and of inferior quality are being
bought for 7 aed 72c, but farmers I'LL
ers, we understand, readily command a
price Of 4ac just now.

The binder situation, the acuGeness
of which the Tobacco Leaf has referred
to number of times recently, is be-
ginning to be realized by the trade at
large. AS an evidence of this fact may
be noted the fact that in the past week
packers have begun buying the frost
touched Havana Seed IL Connecticut,
and it is stated that as high as twelve
cents has been paid for this tobacco.
Connecticut Havana seconds are bring
ing on an average twenty-five cents a
pound, for the first time since the early
nineties. Local sales are reported of

The United Cigar Manufacturers Co.
of New York has purchased the Union
American Cigar Co.'S factory at Lam
caster, Pa, adding another branch to
it's rapidly increasing business. The
factory has a capacity for about 300
cigarmakers and a full force will be
put to work at once, If the present
rate of purchase and consolidation con-
tinues, the U. C. M. will soon rival the
American Cigar Co. in the annual pro-
duction of cigars. The late purchase
was one of the factories of the Union
American Co. thrown overheard in the
reorganization of the big trust.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Feb. 27, 1912.
The season at the tobacco warehouses
is now about closed. From the aspects
of both the growers and the local pack
ers it has been very successful one.
After allowing for the losses through
frost and hail, the brisk demand for all
grades produced prices which are con-
sidered very satisfactory There will
be liberal increase during the coming
season of acreage devoted to prime1
and shade leaf.

Most of the tobacco experts of the
Agricultural Department have reported
on last seasons work, comforting with
each other and the department officials,
receiving instructions and planning for
next season. The plan for the coming
seasons work contemplates virtually a
continuation of last years work, which
will be along three fundamental lines
of study: First, the fertilizer require
ments of the tobacco crop; Second, de-
termination of the best commercial va
rieties of tobacco for each section of
the country, and in some cases the de-
velopment of new varieties by breed
ing; and Third, determining the best
systems of crop rotation for tobacco
culture. The work will be carried on
at the following points: At Suffield, in
Connecticut; at Baldwinsville and Big
Flats, in New York, the one a filler and
the other binder district; in the Mi
ami Valley of Ohio; at Upper Marlboro
in Maryland; at Greenville, Oxford and
Reidsville, in North Carolina; at Tim
monsville and Manning, in South Caro-
lima; at Chatham, Bowling Green and
historic Appamatox, in Virginia. Dur
ing the past few months the tobacco
DIVISION, under the supervision OF Df.
w. w. Garner, has been making con-
siderable progress in laboratory expert
ments in connection with the curing
and fermentation of tobacco, and good
results are being obtained. These ex-
periments have been under way since
1907. and Mr.. Garner says another year
will be required to complete them. He
predicts that they will pave the way,
with accurate scientific data on curing
and fermentation, for important i'm
provements in the methods practiced
in those processes. This information
will be distributed to the trade when in
available shape.

On Wednesday at Ill Fifth Avenue
when the directors Of the American To-
bacco Co. assembled to dispatch the
last few technicalities which then re-
mained to be disposed of, the resigna-
tions of Messrs. T. F. Ryan and Paul
Brown were accepted. Every require
ment Of the circuit courts decree has
been complied with to the very last
title, scrupulously and thoroughly. Of
what was once the great American To
bacco Co., with ramifications extending
far and wide through intricate stock
controls, only small part, relatively
speaking. now remains at the Consta-
bic Building headquarters, and the in
terlocked stock controls have been
wiped out through a stroke of the ju-
dicial pen. Fully month ago, it is
stated with authority, the final neces-
sary stock transfers were made and
the securities have all been liquidat-
ed without impairing assets. Ev-
erything has been done "decently and
in ORDER; and the great Trust is dead.
AS part of the liquidation, the final seal
was put on Wednesday to the dissolu-
ton of the American Stogie Co., and
the Union-American Cigar Cor, which
was formerly subsidiary of the stogie
company, has been turned loose as
completely independent concern, thor
oughly recognized and with mo en-
tangling alliances. u. S. Tobacco

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

There seems to be a pretty general
complaint that Wisconsin growers are
not careful enough regarding the quail
ity of the tobacco seed used, and there
is far too much coarse, nondescript leaf
produced. What the market needs for
binder purposes is not an extremely
large leaf but rather one of moderate
size, fine veined and quality leaf. 1t is
for such tobacco as this that buyers
are ready and willing to pay the high
est prices and in the aggregate yields
the farmer as much money as the
larger varieties. It is to~the interest
Of the grower that in the selection of
seed for the coming crop he obtain the
best strains to be had at whatever
cost. Run-out seed is poor invest
ment at any price.

credentials committee for their attack
on the majority voting in the contest
ed cases, Chairman Thomas H. De-
vine. at today's session of the COM
mittee, caused a small sized riot just
prior to the conventions opening.
The Roosevelt minority of 315 had
issued a bitter statement denouncing
Chairman Devine and his Taft asso-
ciates, as unfair.
When Devine opened the committee
session today he took occasion to
sum up this published statement as
"a dastardly piece of Justification and
an insult. The only ruffian acts, the
only dastardly gutter work in this
committee" he continued" has en-

JUDGE ARCHIBALD, NOT
HANFORD, | IMPEACHED

In the press reports of yesterday
from Washington, ID. c., an item of
news was carried, saying that the ju-
dietary committee of the house of
representatives had unanimously vot-
ed for the Impeachment of Federal
Judge Hanford, of Seattle. This has
proven an error and the dispatch
should have said that Judge Arch
bald, of the commerce court, was inn
peached by the committee.
The error is explained by the Unit
ed Press associations correction,
which states that the name of Judge
Hanford was allowed to creep into
the item in the confusion incident to
telegraphing the vast amount of mat
ter from the republican convention

Hanford, requests all newspapers to

I'VE have reached the point where

elected.

vention is challenged, you took a po-
sition which places the powers of a
