Some few firms have been showing
samples Of the new Wisconsin and
Pennsylvania packings, but the bulk of
the new crop of these states will not
be shown for a week or so yet. Within
another week the western buyers will
be in the city, and there is good reason
to believe that there will be consider
able animation in the market. In the
mean time, however, business has con-
tinued of hand to mouth character,
the only buying being by manufacture
ers who desire to supplement their
stocks for immediate use.
Sumatra. Business in Sumatra con-
tinues brisk. The manufacturers are
looking over the market offerings with
a view to fortifying their wrapper po-
sition, regardless of what may eventu-
ate 1t is reported that one of the
large manufacturing concerns that
bought heavily in Amsterdam has also
been looking over the market and made
several purchases here.

transactions are reported. Some buy
ing is being done in the country in

were paid before the European war

NEW ORh, OCC. ., 401f.
Activity slackened somewhat during
the week in the local leaf market.
Manufacturers are evidently so busily
occupied with getting out their orders
for the approaching holiday that they
have neither the time nor inclination to
make investments in leaf tobacco, ex-
cept where Immediate necessity would
compel them to do so. The necessity,
however, arises in the binder market
and with the sampling of last years
crop, which is now going on at a rapid
rate, transactions in that commodity
are bound to be big as we'll as quick
The Sumatra is finding it's steady Gus
toners but there are no reports of any
big transactions. Buyers will take
what they can get, but they don't seem
ready yet to insure themselves with a
large supply against a future emerg-
ency in case the continuance Of the Eu-
ropean war should stop the inscriptions
next year. The domestic wrapper leaf
is having steady demand. And there
is no change in the Havana leaf situa-
ton. journal.

F. C. Linde, Hamilton & Co. have is
sued booklet emphasizing the impor-
tance of buying tobacco by trustworthy
samples. Among other things it says:
''Have you ever found, after speuding
your valuable time selecting goods and
paying your good money, that you paid
too much because goods did not come
up to the samples shown you, various
lengths, kinds, color and quality, or
damage in the cases; the tobacco would
not yield what you figured it would.
Have you lost time and money on wrong
weights and tares? Did you ever think
how many dollars you lose buying
marked weights and tares or guaran-
teed shrinkages, when you could, with
out cost, have had weightmasters' act
ual weights and tares, which would
have enabled you to figure correctly.
The seller has to furnish these if you
insist. The origin of stripped
sampling is interesting. Formerly a
cover of a box of tobacco was loosened
and lifted up and few hands drawn
which were called top samples. x
At the request of the trade, Mr..
f. G. Linde was the first man to intro
duce what is known as stripped SAM
pie warranted. which means that the
box is entirely removed from the bulk
of the tobacco, so that every layer can
be examined. Hands are drawn from
various parts on both ends or sides, and
true samples made, showing various
grades, qualities and existing condi-
tions. Such official samples are drawn
under and governed by stringent pro-
tectlve rules of the National and Local
Tobacco Boards of Trade. =

EDGERToN. WIS, Oct. 8, 1914
The week has brought continuation
of the ideal curing weather that has
prevailed for nearly month past
While there has been an absence of
rain, heavy dews at night have brought
the hanging leaf frequently into case
so the curing has proceeded so salts
factorily that there is slight cause to
complain What little there was in the
buying movement few weeks ago has
apparently lost its momentum. While
there is little riding being done in the
country districts, we hear of no new
contracts being written.
For the first time in some months
sales of old leaf have reached proper
tions worthy of mention A represent
ative Of a large manufacturing concern
is credited with purchasing about 1900
cases of 1913 from Haskins e Schwartz,
John Soulman and M. F. Greene, James
vile packers. C. J. Jones & Son have
also disposed of their 1918 packing of
$50 cases to an eastern manufacturer.
Sampling is proceeding slowly though
but few dealers are yet ready to show
inspectors samples.
The shipments out of storage reach
only about 300 cases from this market
since last report.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Sept. 20, 1914.
Recent weather has Keen we'll suited
for curing late harvested Connecticut
valley tobacco. Rain has fallen only
sparingly in more than a month, and
pole sweat should be almost negligible
so far as thousands of acres of the new
crop are concerned. The month of dry
weather has already carried the bulk
of the new crop past the pole sweat
stage Growers are now awaiting a
damp to enable them to take down the
cured tobacco. A few heavy rains
would also leave the ground in better
condition for next years crop.
Buying of late has been on con-
servative basis. It is evident that the
money situation, which has been an all
important factor in general business
since the war began, will have to be
taken into consideration in the New
England tobacco belt this fall and win
ter. To what extent notes will figure
in the handling of the crop remains to
be seen, but that the tobacco district
can altogether escape the pinch which
is felt elsewhere would seem to be out
of the question.
