WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERTON, WIS.,, Dec. n, 1910.
There is the usual Stacking away of
business in tobacco markets for the
holiday period this year. Only few
buyers have ventured into the country
districts during the week and trading
reduced to rather small proportions. A
season of fogs and soft weather now
prevailing seems likely to bring the
balance of the hanging leaf into case
and growers will be permitted to pro-
ceed with their stripping which might
help to put more vigor into the market
that is now apparently dragging.
A few lots of the IA crop remaining
in growers hands have been purchased
by local packers, including 31cs of M.
Sether, 36cs of Albert Nelson, and
acre bundle crop of Mrs. II. Rierson.
The market for old leaf shows no
new features and only a moderate bus
mess is reported.
Considerable leaf intended for export
is in readiness for shipment but an en-
barge holds on all ports except through
Baltimore at present.
Local shipments out of storage reach
100cs and 5 cars of bundles to all points
since last report.

New YORK, Dec. 18, 1915.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10, 1919. 5.
In some measure activity is. keeping
up in our leaf market Of course, be-
ing close to the holidays it is not ex-
pected that great transactions will be
contracted for just at present, but the
demand for all types of cigar leaf re-
mains steady, and the volume of busi-
ness seems still to run above the aver
age. The news that the Dutch liners
will have to take their Sumatra tobac-
co cargoes around the Cape of Good
Hope instead of through the Suez
Canal, which is likely soon to become
an object of active warfare, may have
some influence on Sumatra prices on
account of the longer and more expen-
sive journey. There are already some
rumors out as to the quantity and quail
ity of the new crop, the first inscrip-
tion for which has been set for the
early part of March. But such rumorsl
are not always to be accredited with
reliance. If the tobacco offered proves
of good quality, prices will no doubt go.
higher because of the very active COM
petition of American bids for it, as our
Sumatra market has nearly been barred
of available old stock A condition of
scarcity seems to have also settled
in the leaf market in Cuba The linn
tied quantity of good Remedies has
been nearly all absorbed by few of
the largest concerns, and what is left
will hardly fit into our American mar
ket. The leaf market in Cuba has re-
ceived an unexpected impetus by the
raise in the embargo of transhipment
of tobacco through Holland into the
continental belligerent countries. Since
the embargo was raised nearly 1900
bales have been shipped to Europe,
shipments which clear the Cuban mar
ket Of the lower grades and by their
clearance help to establish a chance for
a more remunerative compensation on
the American grades. Journal.
