WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, July 10, 1912.


The tobacco crop is progressing un-
der about as satisfactory weather con-
ditions as could be desired. Recent
rains covering nearly all sections of the
state, has given growers opportunity
to complete the transplanting and re-
setting so that practically the intended
crop is standing in the fields. The
early set has a splendid outlook and. is
fully as forward as growers desire,
while the later fields have good start
and a healthy growth. If the growers
can afford time to keep the cultivators
going and weeds down there is hope
for fine crop.
There is very little trading going on
in the country districts and among the
packers only usual small business is
reported. The only transaction of i'm
portance of late is the sale of the ball
ance of the A. N Jones packing of '06
at GAINESVILLE of some 700cs to G. w.
Spitzner. This is the last lot Of any size
of that years growth remaining in
the state. The last seasons packings
are reported to be sweating satisfac-
torily.
The shipments out of storage reach
200 cases from this market to all points
for the week.

NEW YORK. july 13, 1912


The terrific heat wave and continued
drought is causing anxiety in the leaf
market as to the prospects of this
years cigar leaf crop. Growing con-
ditions had so far favored a bumper to-
bacco crop, both in quality and guam
tity. But later reports from the to-
bacco growing sections are beginning
to tell a disheartening story, which
having reached the leaf market is evi-
dently impressing it pessimistically.
But the tobacco plant has such recu-
perative power that the least favorable
change in the weather may wipe out
again all the dire forebodings of the
present week In the meanwhile trad
ing is also suffering under the unbear-
able spell of torpid atmosphere. The
dog days are proving indeed to be veri-
table dull days. 1t is time to enjoy
a reprieve and most of the trade mem
bers seem to be doing it.
Very quiet conditions prevail among
the big cigar factories, with only a
mediocre business being done. The
majority of the manufacturers are Of
the opinion that there will be no actual
revival in trade until after the presi-
Dental election in November, and pos
sibly not then. Should Democratic
president be elected, they say, a down.
ward revision of the tariff is inevitable,
and this will naturally more or less
affect the entire tobacco industry. =

In some sections of the county it has
been tussle for life with the tobacco
plants, because of the continued heat
and parched conditions of the land.
Transplanting has been postponed,
awaiting showers, while some have set
as many as three times in their fields.
Where rains have fallen the crop is
coming on fine. Many have portions of
their ground to cover yet. There now
appears to be plenty of plants, many
of them getting too big for practical
use. Cultivating and hoeing the weed
is one of the leading occupations of

NEW YORK, July 10, 1912.

Trading in domestice cigar leaf to-
bacco seems to be about normal for
this period of the year. Although the
internal revenue reports show de-
crease in the output of cigars for the
country, there has been a steady buy
ing movement, and the manufacturers
have evidently been replenishing their
supplies of raw material. This has not
occasioned any sales worthy of note,
however, and nothing beyond fairly
satisfactory business of routine proper
tions has heen done. In fact, the mat
ter of most interest to the trade at this
time is the growth of the 1912 crop.
There seems to be no doubt that a
larger acreage than ever has been
planted in tobacco in about all the ci-
gar leaf growing states. Leaf.

Tobacco fields have made great pro-
gress within the past week, owing to
the rains and heat, which weather con-
ditions are such as the weed requires.
There is still some planting, and the
grower who is having the work done
lives in hopes that he may be able to
harvest the field before frost blights it.
There is more faith in the early planted
fields which present good appearance
and means an early harvest for part of
the crop.

Some black rot has appeared among

but so far there is not enough of it to
occasion any alarm. Among the tobac-

strong argument in favor of force

Thirteenth census statistics showing
the number Of establishments, persons
engaged, power, capital, value of pro-
ducts and other details of the manu-
facture of tobacco in the United States,
by states, are contained in an advance
bulletin which will be issued by Direc-
tor Durand of the Bureau of the Cen
sus, Department of Commerce and
Labor. 1t was prepared under the
supervision of VIM. M. Steuart, chief
statistician for manufacturers. Census
data do not show the entire cost of
manufacture, and consequently can not
be used to show profits. No account
has been taken of interest and depre-
citation. Even if the amount of profit
could be determined by deducting the
expenses from the value of the pro-
duets the rate of profit on the invest
ment could not properly be calculated,
because of the very defective character
of the returns regarding capital. The
tobacco industry was, in value of pro-
ducts, the eleventh in rank III the CEN.
sus year. The total number of estab-
lishments was 1882. The total num-
ber of persons engaged was 1877, 637, OF
which IL, 634 were proprietors and firm
members. 3378 salaried officers, super
intendents and managers, and 1881 were
male and 1884 female clerks. The total
number of wage earners was 1885,
The value of products was S416, 695, 1O4.
The value added by manufacture, which
is the difference between cost of ma
terials and value of products, was
$3.50, ,5O9, ,483. The number of wage
earners and the value added by manu-
facture are, on the whole, better
measure of the relative Importance of
manufacturing industries than the gross
value of products. In some industries
the value of the materials used consti-
tutes by far the larger part of the total
value of products, the manufacturing
process involving the addition of only a
small amount of labor cost and other
expenses and of manufacturer profit
to the cost of the materials. More
over, in some of the industries there is
a much greater duplication in the gross
value of products than in others, such
duplication being due to the use of the
product of one establishment in the in
dustry as material for another estab-
lishment. This duplication, of course,
does not appear in the value added by
manufacture.

In it's first report of the season on

Of this years tobacco crop in the
United States is LIZA, 900, which is
117.9 percent of last years crop, or an
increase of 17.9 per cent. The condi-
tion of the crop on July /, 1912, was

year average condition is 84.6. The

There was an interesting discussion
of conservation of soil moisture at the
meeting Of the Tobacco Growers So
ciety. 1t was discussed at length by
Otto Olson, of the Bureau of Plant In
dustry, National Department of Agri-
ctlture, who held that conservation of
moisture was one of the most important
parts of farm work The increased cost
of conservation is fully made up by the
productivity Of the soil. E. K. Hib-
shman, the tobacco expert, who is in
charge of the experimental work in
Pennsylvania, declared that cultivation
of top dressing will keep the soil moist
ure where it belongs at the roots of
the crops. Charles L. Foubert, scien-
tiic assistant of the Bureau of Plant
Industry of the National Department
of Agriculture, has been in Lancaster
county making an investigation of the
progress of the tobacco experiments
conducted by Messrs. Hibshman and
Olson. The work of the two latter
gentlemen has been Of great value to
Lancaster county tobacco growers, and
since these experiments have been in
progress there has been an increased
interest in tobacco culture.
