SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Dec. 27, 1911.
The big prices that were paid for
Connecticut tobacco and the big profits
made by the farmers of that state, this
year, have caused great deal of talk
in the trade. There is no doubt, ac-
cording to usually we'll informed to-
bacco man who has Connecticut inter-
ests, that the area of shade-grown will
be largely increased in the coming
year, and it is not beyond the range of
possibility that it will be doubled. The
farmers who primed their tobacco also
made heavy profits. The fact that the
shade tobacco is protected from storm
and frost is one inducement to the
farmer to attempt that style of agri-
culture. At any rate, the new meth
DDS will eat largely into the area de-
voted to the growing of old-fashioned
Havana Seed next year, as it has al
ready done this year, with the result
that cheap New England tobaccos are
not to be expected soon, in the opinion
of this authority.

when the tobacco is stripped and they
can see what condition it is in. They
are of the opinion that if the big con-
Germs hold off bit that prices will
come down to ten and three cents. It
was certainly mistake to start this
buying now, for many growers had
concluded that they had better sell at
reasonable price than wait. A number
had called on city buyers and solicited
them to buy at ten and three
Some of the packers who have in
spected tobacco already stripped are
anything but pleased in the manner in
which it is being handled, and to their
suggestions that it ought to be sorted
more carefully the growers replied that
it was "all right. There is no reason
for doubling that great deal of the
tobacco is damaged by pole-burn and
stem-rot, nor is there room for doubt
ing that lot Of the least damaged to-
bacco will be put among the sound to-
bacco.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 1911.

NEW Ohh, Leu. Il, 1011..
The intervening of the holidays has
had it's usual effect upon the cigar leaf
market. Business has been postponed
until after the beginning of the new
year. The leaf houses, as we'll as the
factories, are taking stock and figuring
on inventories to the exclusion of every
other interest.
The United Cigar Manufacturers Co.
is iubilant over the record made by
that concern during the past year, and
is going into the new one with every
prospect of winning even greater sue
cess. The books for 1911 are being
closed up, and stock taking is in pro
gress at the New York factories this
week.
For the first time since it's formation
the American Cigar Co. has declared a
dividend upon it's common stock. At a
meeting of this company held on Thurs
day it was voted to pay i per cent on
the common to stockholders of record
January Is. Warrants are payable
February 1. The company has gone
steadily ahead ever since Mr.. Percival
S. Hill assumed the presidency and put
ginger into the works. All the staff of
the American Cigar Co. are proud of
the years record.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERTON, WIS, Jan. 5, 1912.
The tobacco handling season is now
under full swing at most of the pack
ing points in the state and the ware
house help organized for several months
work. The deliveries are ordered in
about as fast as the storage facilities
will warrant, but some packers are dis
posed not to be in hurry to receive
their purchases, hoping the tobacco
will be in better condition later. There
are some complaints of dockage to be
heard and many growers are insisting
upon an examination on the farms
where adjustments can be made of any
imperfections before delivery is made.
The tobacco is weighing in strong and
yielding unusually good money returns.
There is very little buying going on at
present.
A better inquiry for old leaf is ex-
pected with the new year OWN = the
scarcity of binder stock held ~ e
state, though trading will of necessity
be of small order business. The pack
ing of S. M. Halverson at Stoughton
of about 150cs of 10 is reported sold to
N. L. Carle. O. G. Moen sold Sizes
lot to A. S. Flagg.
The shipments out of storage reach
500 eases from this market to all points
for the week.

LANCASTER, Pa, Dec. 27, 1911.
The buying of the new crop of Ian
caster county has begun at last. 1t
began moving actively last week and
already many hundreds of acres have
been contracted for, many crops being
sold that are hanging in the shed. A
couple of days of wet weather having
put the tobacco in shape for stripping,
the growers lost no time in getting
down to work, and stripping is now
general throughout the county The
packers had tacitly agreed not to buy
until the crop was stripped, but some
Of the country dealers began gathering
up few crops, and in few days this
started other country packers buying
on a larger scale. The inevitable re-
suit followed and lot of city dealers
got the fever and pitched in buying
too. Already a good many hundred
acres have been disposed Of, the price
being ten and three and eleven and
three cents. The former prices most
generally prevailed. 1t had been about
concluded that the standard price would
be ten and three.
While a goodly number have taken
the buying fever, there are a lot of
city buyers who are not getting ratified
and they propose taking their own
time to buy. And that time will be

Ohio.
Arcanum, Ohio, Dec. %, 1911.

There is nothing particularly encour-
aging for the tobacco growers of this
vicinity so far as the 1911 crops are
concerned. Packers seem to be little
afraid of the crops because some of
them were taken in pretty late, and
there was poor curing weather during
the entire fall. This renders the con-
dition of the tobacco uncertain, and
there is not likely to be much buying
done until stripping begins, or such
time as the real condition and charac-
ter of the tobacco can be ascertained to
a greater certainty.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES
....:...:..:.*...*:..*::::..:...:......:....

With over 95 per cent Of last seasons
tobacco crop sold at figures that prom
ise to yield growers close to an average
OF $50 an acre in cold, hard cash, an
the horizon to the tobacco growers of
Wisconsin. Not only has the results of
the past season been more satisfactory
than the average year but the pros
psfs for the future have seldom been
more promising. No one can overlook
the fact that market conditions are
RIGHT for big crop the coming year
with every guarantee of securing top
prices for all desirable binder leaf that
car be produced in the state in 1912.
Please remember these predictions.
***
While the year 1911 is generally con-
sidered IS one of the fat years for the
growers Of this state, the dealers too
have enjoyed fairly prosperous one.
The packers of the 1910 crop were able
to unload their holdings early, though
at moderate margins, releasing their
capital in time for investment in the
new crop. However, local dealers have
bought rather sparingly of the new to-
bacco and their holdings will be less
than any of the recent years invest
ments. A good share of the '06 crop
carried over has been disposed of, gen
orally at the same sacrificing prices
v hich have heretofore prevailed. What
little there is left now seems to be
finding market at better figures. The
country is so bare of old stock of all
descriptions that there is but little
trading in prospect until another crop
is grown, and stocks on haud among
dealers are much below the normal
amount carried by them.
