EDGERToN, WIS, Nov. 20, 1914.
While there has been plenty of
buyers canvassing the growing districts
in all sections of the state, the amount
Of acreage contracted for falls consid-
erably below that of other years in the
first weeks of buying. The movement
has steadied down to a conservative
basis in an effort to secure the choicer
crops. A rain fell during the week but
did not continue long enough to bring
the hanging tobacco into case and buy
ers have yet been unable to make as
critical examination of the crop as they
desire which may account for the mod
crate amount of trading being done.
1t is estimated that not far from 5000
acres has gone under contract to date.
Quite a number of Rock county crops
have been sold at around II cents,
while Is and little better are bid and
declined by Albion Prairie growers. In
the northern sections Is cents is about
the limit pald. Buyers seem TO CnlnK
they are stretching point when over
13 cents is paid.
Excepting quite block of 1913 taken
by an eastern manufacturer from a
local packer we learn of no transac-
tions of note in cured leaf ouside of the
eastern centers.
Casing weather would be a boon to
the growers now for the heavy freeze
this week has put an end to outside
work and stripping could receive some
attention.
The shipments out of storage dc not
exceed 300 cases from this market to
all points since last report.

Activity in the leaf market seems to
be keeping up splendidly in the two
types mostly in demand at present,
namely, Wisconsin and Sumatra. The
rush for the Wisconsin has by no means
abated, and in spite of the high prices
buyers are most desirous to acquire any
quantity, not only for immediate but
even for future needs. The. present
boom in Wisconsin has had the effect
OF causing a rush also for this years
Wisconsin still hanging in the sheds.
This rush has been precipitated by
some of the largest cigar manufactur-
ing firms who are offering for the new
crop in the sheds from 141 to Is cents.
Naturally enough leaf packers have
been drawn also into this maelstrom
OF premature buying In the Sumatra
market like conditions prevail Buying
Of old stocks continues exceedingly
brisk. Those manufacturers who rely
on the Sumatra for their wrapper leaf
are evidently discounting the uncertain
prospects of inscriptions next month.
But though not so brisk in other types
the market is in steady activity in re-
gard to our domestic wrapper leaf and
filler types. Considerable quantities Of
Pennsylvania were moving last week
The Havana, market, however, remains
in statu quo. journal.
