Market conditions continue reassur-
ing in the local field Trading goes on
steadily, and to judge from the lack of
complaints, satisfactorily. The demand
is for all types of leaf, and although no
big transactions can be reported, the
volume of business seems to be increas-
ing. The complaint of many years of
shortage and of defective qualities of
crops has given away to buoyant feel
ing of plenty and good crops. A boun
tiful supply in all lines is expected to
make trade hum if no adverse condi-
tions occur to impair an unimpeded
flow of business. The usual anxiety
about the outcome of a presidential
election does not seem to affect busi-
ness so much this year as it generally
does. But there is looming up the
ominous coal strike as prospective
setback. Present conditions, however,
have not yet taken account of this
prospective setback. With an all
around serviceable Sumatra crop, with
more plentiful and better crop of Ha-
vana than has been raised in years, and
with some very good domestic crops,
the prospects are indeed very bright
for a prosperous trade year if labor
troubles do not intervene to rend a
break in it.-Journal.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, March 26, 1912
A circuit of the various shade planta-
tions makes it clear that at least 80 per
cent more soil will be devoted to this
type of tobacco during the coming
growing season. Several of the larger
corporations will only put under cloth
additional land which is considered
fairly certain to produce as fine tobac-
co as that raised last season, but there
is a good deal of speculation as to how
some of the other investments will turn
out, much of the ground being deemed
by old growers to be hardly suited for
tenting. There is vigorous demand
for all available tobaccos, but little of
the choicer types undisposed of.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, April 5, 1912.

EDGERToN, WIS, April 5, 1912.
The absence of casing weather up to
this late date is proving quite an en-
barrassment to the growers who did
not get the tobacco down from the cur
ing sheds in the fall when the great
bulk of the crop came down. With
springs work at hand farmers have
little time now to devote to tobacco
stripping. In some of the northern
sections it is estimated that at least
one-quarter of the crop is unstripped.
A short time ago the Lorillard branch
had contracts out for over 500 acres
still hanging. A few dealers have COM
menced to receive parts of crops and
decline to accept the balance remaining
in the sheds because of the uncertainty
as to time of delivery and they desire
to close warehouse operations.
A moderate amount of buying is be-
ing conducted, though it begins to look
as if there would be something left
over for summer trading in the rem
nants back in country hands.
The large operators are still receiv-
ing their purchases as rapidly as their
storage facilities will permit.
Rumors are about of the sale of a
few packings of new goods for the ac-
count of large manufacturing con-
cern but particulars are not obtainable.
A 115cs lot of 10 grades, packed by
Johnson at Morrisonville, has been sold
to A. S. Flagg. H. T. Sweeney sold
100cs lot of old leaf.
Spring is advancing slowly and moth
ing yet has been done towards the lay
ing of seed beds.
The shipments out of storage reach
507 cases and II car loads of bundles
from this market to all points for the
week. Since last report 18 car loads
have been received for warehouse ham
ding.

NEW YORK, March 27, 1912.

There has been particularly strong
demand for eastern binders, and every
one seems awake to the shortage of
the supply as we'll as to the shortage
of Wisconsin binders. The extent Of
this latter shortage is indicated by a
statement made by prominent insur-
ance agent to the effect that his COM
pany hae less than one-half of the US
ual amount of tobacco insurance in
Wisconsin this year. The buying of
the 1911 Ohio crop continues unabated.
The leaf dealers do not see any reason
why an active business should not ma
terialize during the remainder of the
year, and in fact, believe that they
now see signs Of the beginning of it.
AS consequence prices remain firm
on practically all staple lines of tobac-
co.-Leaf,

The establishing of tobacco ware
houses by the Tobacco Growers Union
at Greenville, West Baltimore and Mi
amisburg, and the probability that
houses will soon be established at Day
ton, West Milton, Lewisburg and other
points, is lending interest to the tobac-
co industry in the Miami valley. The
growers expect to handle their tobacco
and make it ready for the manufact-
urer. The buying is going on and seed
has been forced up to cents and Dutch
to cents, and much of it is changing

bled at and cents, and no doubt will
soon be in demand The casing wealth

LANCASTER, Pa, March 25, 1912.
Tobacco of the sort for which eleven
cents was asked only few weeks ago
has sold for nine and half cents. The
tobacco sold at the figure named was
not poor stuff, but as good as the av-
erage tobacco that brought eleven cents
when the buying was brisk.
1t would be interesting to know Just
why the American Cigar Co., the Unit
ed Cigar Manufacturers Co., the Eisen-
lohrs and a few other big concerns
bought so little of this years crop. The
tobacco is as good as many crops tn t
sold readily. The high price is sup
posed to be the cause of their failure
to invest more heavily.
