NEW YORK, June 8, 1912.


There isn't much change in the local
leaf market An average fair business
seems to be done most to supply imme-
diate needs. Stocks are, anyhow, low,
precluding large transactions. Sumatra
has come into lively demand, selling
steadier and in larger lots than for
some time past. Florida is also boom
ing up briskly as last years crop was
one Of the best on record. Being of
excellent quality, good yielder and
selling at reasonable figure within the
reach of everybody, making it profit
able both for the jobber and manufac-
turer, demand for it has risen with
these commendable qualifications. The
Havana market was rather quiet the
past week.
Business is reported as being little
more active in the uptown factories.
A fair average of orders is coming in
for staple sizes. Road men report a
better demand for box goods. Nickel
cigars are selling we'll in the country
districts while 10-cent brands are hold
ing their own. The import trade is
rather quiet, as it usually is during the
summer months, but there is some in
qniry for small and medium sizes. Col
lections are still poor. journal.

Work in the tobacco warehouses of
the city has nearly ceased for the sea-
son; in fact only three houses are run
ming gangs at present and all report
is being done and buyers report nearly
all of the 1911 crop as having purchas-
ed from the growers. One buyer stated
that he did not know os single grow
er within radius of ten miles of the
city who had not disposed of his crop.
Several growers stated that while no
transplanting had been attempted as
yet, they felt sure that it would all be
done in the usual time.

NEW YORK. June 5. 1912

The market in cigar leaf tobacco, so
far as sales are concerned, is practic-
ally at a standstill. Business has been
extremely quiet, and no transactions of
Importance have taken place. Binders
continue extremely scarce, the supply
being inadequate to the demand. The
principal activity has been in the Con-
necticut and Florida shade-grown wrap
pers. These two types have been the
occasion of considerable inquiry, and
some sales are reported, many of them
being the conclusion of deals started
some time ago on samples. The farm
ers in the cigar leaf-growing states
are hard at work putting the new crop
into the ground. Leaf.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, June 4, l9lZ.
Transplanting is nearly two weeks
late in the Connecticut valley, and the
growers are pushing operations to the
limit on days in which it does not rain.
A number of growers whose tobacco
fields lie along little-traveled roade
worked Sunday. Though transplanting
thus far has been accomplished under
difficulties, the young plants in the
fields look especially fine. Good pro-
gress has been made in setting out to-
bacco under tents Unless rain falls in
unwonted quantities, the next two
weeks will afford an opportunity for
growers to transplant their tobacco
under extremely favorable conditions.
Thousands of acres of tobacco land are
still unplowed.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The first week of June has witnessed
the commencement of the transplant
ing of the 1912 tobacco crop on quite
good many farms through the growing
sections of this state, even though the
growsrs would have preferred to wait
until later date before starting this
work. The crowding of the plant beds
has rather made it imperative to start
transplanting and farmers have ac-
,cepted the situation and gone ahead
with this work leisurely. Next week
will see the planting generally under
way and from that time on the work
will be pushed along. AS about Is
days are needed to produce the crop
from transplanting to harvest-it will
be noted that under ordinary conditions
an earlier harvest is assured at a time,
too, that is likely to conflict with other
farm work. When the transplanting is
done the last week in June the harvest
generally comes when growers are bet
ter able to give it proper attention,
but of choice they would prefer an
early one to belated one that frosts
might overtake at the close of the
season.

The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1912-06-14

One indication that the tobacco crop
the coming season will very nearly
reach the normal acreage is the fact
that the manufacturers of transplant
ing machines have this early sold out
their entire supply. Even as early as
June 1st it was impossible to purchase
transplanters from many of the local
dealers in implements in this state.
Whether the usual output has gone to
tobacco growers or to the truck gar
deners of the south it is hard to tell,
but the fact remains that the growers
who neglected to order planter early
will go without one this season. AS it
is an indispensable machine to the to-
sbacco grower, there is destined to be
some disappointed farmers when they
try to canvass the, dealers with view
of buying this implement.

sorted and cased and have held them
for higher prices. Last winters prices
were too great temptation, the result
being that if any considerable number
of growers had their crops cased they
have succeeded in keeping the fact
from the trade. Under these circum-
stances no old tobacco need be looked
for this summer and fall. The writer
doubts if there are dozen unsold 1911
crops in the Valley. Meantime 1911
packings are moving to market at
surprising rate. At the present rate
of withdrawal Connecticut valley ware
houses will be empty by midsummer.
If tobacco, which has lately been
shipped from the Valley, is being held
in reserve in the distributing centers
the situation may be brighter than ap-
pears on the surface, but if these goods
are passing into manufacturers hands
an actual binder famine is only mat
ter of weeks. Medium-class manufac-
turers who have labored under the i'm
preston that leaf tobacco dealers were
exaggerating conditions and who have
visited the Valley to learn the facts
first hand, and incidentally to pick up
little good tobacco at a bargain, have
been able to satisfy themselves as to
the real situation in an hour or two,
and have returned to their respective
cities wiser men.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1912-06-14

The arguments of Commissioner Ca
bell before the committee in charge
have probably put to sleep the Rich
ardson pure tobacco bill in congress-.
Mr.. Cabell said it would be no more
reasonable to prohibit the use OF leo
rice in manufacturing tobacco than to
prohibit manufacturers of ice cream
from using sugar or flax oring, and to
limit them solely to the use of cream.
incidentally. he mentioned that the lie
orice used In the tobacco business rep
resented the revenue of $12, 600, 900 to
SIS, 900, 900 year to the government.
He makes it very clear iii his letter
that the internal revenue department
maintains a complete espionage over
the tobacco manufacturing business,
and that everything used in making the
product has to be accounted for to his
department. In conclusion, he says
that the proposed legislation would be
about the same as to put two drivers
on the seat of a vehicle to drive one
horse, one holding one rein and the
other holding the other rein, each act
ing under different orders and each
attempting to reach different destina-
ton. 1t is likely that the trade will
hear nothing more about ''pure tobac-
co.. for a long time, and it is certainly
to be hoped that our legislators. who
incidentally are the servants OF the
people, will devote the people, money
and their own time to something more
important than worrying about the diff
ferent kinds of tobacco t1avors.

PARTY SUICIDE BY PRIMARY

New York Times: Whatever the
full returns may show a preference
primary, as the plan has worked in
Massachusetts this year, is a first
rate device for splitting a party wide
open and inviting defeat on election
day. 1t is as if an army before en-
gaging the enemy should divide in
two portions and fight terrific bat
tie, one half against the other. One
does not need to be military man
to imagine how that would work in
actual warfare. The preference prim-
airy has like effect in politics. The
hatreds and passions engendered are
too deep to be soon allayed. In the
heat of such a conflict as has been
waged in Massachusetts things are
said and charges made that would in
evitably weaken any party and so
give aid and comfort to the enemy.
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft have
stood up before the people in Massa.
chusetts and in effect, called each
other liars, each has attacked the ad-
misitration of the other, each has
sought to persuade the people not to
favor the other in the primaries yet
both of these men are republicans.

Oregon never knows when it gets
through voting or when its statutes
and constitution will remain fixed.
If the Peoples Power League can
have its way, the Oregonians will
vote in November on constitutional
amendment which, if carried, will con-
sttute a commission for the present
form of state government This pro-
posed change is only one Of the things
that the people will have to pass up.
on; for it is proposed that the voter
be given his choice between a candi-
date for the legislature running in the
district where he resides and 6ne in
another constituency. It is not int
tended altogether TO extinguish the
governor, but he will be on the COM
and ex-officio a member of
the legislature, casting a weight of
votes in proportion to those he re-
ceived when elected. Lucky for the
people of Oregon that they have
more than six months within which
to study out this latest scheme OF
constitutional revolution.

COMMON FAILING, INDEED.

NOm WON VuesSN~g
Despite all of Roosevelt's clamo1
against President Taft, he has not as
yet anywhere given specific reasons
why he could not have supported the
administration. He has not attempt
ed to show that Taft's policies are
in any broad way different from those
which he professed to follow when he
was president. That there should
have been slight minor differences
was inevitable; but magnanlmOus
man would have overlooked those.
Least of all would he have permitted
merely personal grievances to sway
his public action. The true principle
was laid down by Mr.. Roosevelt him
self, when he wrote of Mark Hanna's
relation to his own administration.
There were points on which We Diff
fered," said Roosevelt, "but he never
permitted himself, as many men even
of great strength and high character
do permit themselves to allow his
personal disapproval of some one
point of the presidents policy to
lead him into trying to avenge him
self by seeking to bring the whole
policy to naught. Any one who has
been in politics knows what COM
mon failing this is Common fall
ing, indeed, Mr.. Taft might well echo.
