In review of ''high prices and crop
production" contained in the April
Crop Reporter, issued by the Agricul-
tural Department, and based upon re-
ports from consular and diplomatic Of
ficers, it is stated that the world crop
of tobacco increased only about 6 per
cent between the two periods, 1900-1904
and 19O5-19O9; that is from an average
of 2,279, 100000 pounds yearly in the
first period to 2, 424, 600, 900 pounds an
nually in the second period. Continu-
ing, the Crop Reporter says: 'The
eleven products here enumerated,
wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye, rice,
sugar, potatoes, tobacco, fiaxseed and
cotton, comprise, in the United States,
more than three-fourths of the acre
age, and 70 per cent of the value OF all
agricultural crop production. The list
is sufficiently broad in scope and uni
form in evidence of increase to Indicate
that agricultural production, during re-
cent years of enhancing prices, has in
creased more rapidly than population. :

Tobacco bed making is the order of
the day on every farm and place where
the weed will be grown this season.
Some beds have been made for week
and the long rows of canvas covering
tell the story. And now will come the
backaches in keeping the plant beds
free from foul weeds.
The rains of some days past have as
sisted farmers in measure to take
hanging tobacco from poles that has
been suspended high and dry during all
the winter months. So desperate have
many become over the situation that
steam engines have been used in filling
the sheds with steam in effort to bring
the weed into case and fit it for bundl-
ing. We understand this has been quite
successfully done.
Local packing houses are still en-
ploying workmen and an effort will be
made to retain help till all the belated
tobacco is delivered and put in the case.

Market conditions continue to be fair
Although trading is not voluminous,
every house seems to get it's share of
business. The shaded wrapper leaf
seems to be still in general demand but
with some determinations Buyers are
less indulgent in accepting running lots.
They insist more strenuously than they
did last year on picking out certain de-
sirable grades. The new Sumatra is
being taken with all signs of satisfac-
ton. If it were not for the high price
it would likely sell more rapidly and in
larger volume. The binder and filler
stocks are being steadily absorbed and
very little complaint is being heard
about the price. AS for the Havana
leaf, manufacturers are eagerly await
ing the arrival of the new crop, which
promises to give the Havana trade a
very busy time.
The cigar market is still just plug
ging along with very little life to it and
the Spring season well opened. Local
causes in many parts of the country are
holding back trade, and collections,
also, are not too easy. The cigar box
manufacturers and lithographing houses
report very small proportion of staud-
ing orders. The out-of-town cigar job
'bers here recently did not set the Hud-
son on fire with the business they left.
Dull times are expected unless goods
now in jobbers' stocks move much more
rapidly. journal.

TOBACCO MARK EFT.
EDGERToN, Wis, May 8. l!

EDGERTON, WIS.,, May 3, 1912.
The absorbing of the balance of last
seasons crop in growers hands is
steadily going forward at prices rang
ing the lowest of the year. A good
deal has been lifted in the vicinity of
Sun Prairie during the week, both for
the account of the stemmers and for
sorting purposes. The country is al
ready about as bare as the average
year at this date, while the movement
is continually reducing the remnants.
In some sections of the state no salts
factory casing weather has yet ap-
peared for removing the hanging por-.
tions of the crop and steaming has
been resorted to in some instances,
using threshing engines for this pur-
pose.
There are no changes to note of the
condition of the cured leaf market or.
of information of sales of any import
ance reaching us.
Warehouse handling is still under
way with few of the larger operators
and there appears to be considerable
work yet in sight.
The most of the seed beds for the
new crop have now been laid, but the
temperature near the freezing point
each morning is much too cool to pro-
mote much growth as yet.
The shipments out of storage reach
1892 cases for the week to all points
from this market. Since last report
16 carloads have been received from
outside points for warehouse handling.

New YORK. April "a, 1912.

The Middle West has been heard
from in the past week or so, with the
result that business in domestic cigar
leaf has shown more activity. Not that
business is by any means brisk, but in
quiry has been more frequent, and some
sales have been made. Prices remain
quite firm, and the quantity of avail
able binders is continually decreasing.
In the past few weeks the remaining
Connecticut Broadleaf crops have been
taken up at good prices, and the New
England states are practically bare of
tobacco. A brisk market is reported
for the primed Havana Seed, and there
seems reason to believe that larger
acreage will be primed this year than
last. 1t is doubtful if the Connecticut
shade-grown acreage will be increased.

Considerable tobacco has been re-
ceived by the Lorillard Co. at Slough
ton this week and the goods shipped to
Madison for handling, but the sales are
so few and far between that they can
not be reported. Some parts of crops
still hanging in the sheds in the town
of Dunn, awaiting case weather, that
it might be taken down and bundled.
Seed beds are not doing very well, ow-
ing to cold and dry soil, when warm
and wet weather is required.

that most of the growers have planted
their seed. In very short time they
will be busy getting their fields in
shape for the coming crop, and those
who still have their 1911 tobacco on
hand will be in the position of the man
with an elephant on his hallds-they
won't know what to do with it. It is
pretty we'll accepted now as fact that
the bulk OF the crop remaining unsold,
say certainly not less than fifteen per
cent, is of inferior quality, so it is not
to be wondered at that there has be-
a considerable drop in prices, plenty
being offered as low as nine cents, with
no takers. The packers are Indifferent
