Wisconsin Tobacco Market
EDGERToN, WIS.,, April 8. 191

| EDGERToN, Wis. April 8, 1921
The last week has not developed any
new phases of activity in the market OF
special interest. The Eisenlohr inter.
ests in this state say that they are not
active any more. Other firms who can
use southern tobacco on its binder merit
are still in the field and are picking
crops here and there. There is in real-
ity no variation in the price status CT
| the market, except on the basis of the
quality and type of the leaf. If any
section has rs cent leaf, it will get 25
cents; if it has 10 to Is cent leaf, that
is the price. This fact is now so well
established that no one is agitating the
question any more. The stemming
goods is going to the established tune,
and it is moving all the time, leisurely,
but constantly, and it looks now as if
the 1920 crop, outside of the amount of
leaf assorted and held on the farms and
the larger amount handled and stored
by the associations, will be taken care
of before the next harvest swings into
new cycle of interests. The Ameri-
can Sumatra Tobacco Co. warehouse
closes its asserting season this week.
The hands found employment at once
in other warehouses that were running
short handed. The end of the season
for the majority of packing concerns is
still a couple of months distant, and the
stemmeries will have the balance of the
year as their own field.
The meeting of the growers last Sat-
urday to consider the plans of state
wide TOBACCO growers sales organiza-
tion brought about so growers from
the vicinity of Edgerton together. Mr..
Foster of the Division of Markets was
the speaker, who in general way out
lined the plan. His talk was followed
by general discussion. The purpose
of the organization is to begin a cam
