Most of the big outside concerns that
ware in the field here this season buy
ing have either retired or are only max
ing occasional purchases. Which means,
of course, that they have all the tobac-
co they want. 1t may be taken for
granted that the bulk of the best to-
bacco has been bought up. There is no
doubt considerable good tobacco is still
to be had, but it will have to be sought
after Buyers say this was about the
hardest crop to buy that they had ever
wrestled with, on account of it's condi-
ton. The 1890 crop has been disap-
pointment all around, particularly after
giving such good promise of splendid
crop at one period of the summer.
There are rumors of considerable
docking being done on account of to-
oacco not being delivered in the con-
dition it should be. 1t appears certain
that very few growers have any inten-
tion of packing unsold tobacco. If any
growers do any packing, it will be a
few big growers who can afford to hold
their crops, and who have the facilities
for handling the tobacco. "A. M. Slade,

NEW YORK, Marcn 10. 1871.
Generally speaking the Water Street
market has been practically without
animation during the past week.. and
except in a few instances, even the
solace of the usual hand -to-mouth pur-
chases, which until recently have kept
the market from absolute inactivity,
has been absent. In fact, the past few
weeks have brought the cigar leaf mar
ket to dead level of immobility such
as seldom if ever has been duplicated in
the history of the trade. Leaf mer-
chants recalling panicky times in the
past, when trading reached a very low
ebb, state that no financial upheaval on
record ever brought the cigar leaf mar
ket SO nearly to an absolute standstiil
as exists at the present time. Such a
state of affairs seems doubly curious
when it is considered that there seems
to be no clearly defined basis for its
existence, says the Leaf, and adds that
Sumatra is the only goods showing any
activity of movement.

The packers who are interested in
binder grades are looking for them in
the southern Wisconsin remnant, and
they are finding some right along. The
southern section is not fine combed for
binders in the manner the northern sec.
tlon is. There may not be large sup
ply of leafy binders in the southern
section, at least very few crops with a
large percentage of that sort of bind
ers, but considerable number of crops
that will yield fair percentage of
binder leaf. These crops are going
these days at prices ranging from Is
cents and up. A crop was delivered in
Edgerton last week at 20 cents Some
BIS are also taken at around 10 cents,
but the larger share of the goods that
is changing hands is stemming stock
which continues to be sellers move
ment. Meanwhile the association ware
houses are busy handling leaf for the
growers who have decided not to sell
on the price basis now prevailing, and
considerable amount of leaf is taken
care of in this way. The stock on the
farms is eaten into every week, some
weeks more, other weeks less, but it is
moving, quietly, and clearing the boards
for next years crop. The steaming
rigs which have the work of sterilizing
seed beds are fitted up, the frost is out
of the ground except for little sur
face freezing which occurs when cold
snaps like the one during the first of
the present week come. and the farm
ers are making ready to have their
seed beds put in shape so as to be
ready to take the seed for the 1921
crop. The work in the warehouses is
pushed with all hands busy, the wages
continue as before, and the asserting
centers are less effected by the dull
times than communities depending on
any other activity for employment.

Warehouse operations are speeding
up a little more briskly than in the
past The packers haye apparently
"weeded" out the crops they desire
and are permitting deliveries. There
have also been few new sales lately,
but the prices do not compare with
those paid earlier in the season. A cer-
tain grower was offered 80 cents for
his crop last September; -Ie refused to
sell for that low figure, and now ne
finds that no dealer is willing to make
an offer.
The time is now rapidly approaching
when attention will have to be given TO
the producing of another CROP Moth
ing is heard of increased acreage. 1t
is certain that this years crop can be
produced cheaper than in many years.
The labor saving will be big item
alone.

A little picking around and buying
still continue, but it is hard work for
two reasons: First, good crops are hard
to find, and second, when found, the
farmers are usually holding at prices
beyond the reach of most buyers. Ev-
erybody agrees that the country has
never in its history been as clean of to-
bacco as at present, not even except
ing the 1917 crop.

subject of restricting immigration
