Chicago, June 17.-In view Of the
fact that southern. demand will not
pick up until Sept. or thereabout, no
support from this source can be antici-
pated, leaving, the market largely IN

Eastern shippers, however. are help

can easily expect steady to strong
prices for animals fitted for shipping
purpose. But the thin. outclassed stuff
meets with practically no inquiry from

wait until some philanthropically in

CiIiLdEO. June 1!-As noted preVl-

business in feeder and stock steers is
smallest in many years. 1t is case or
necessity rather than choice, for rea-
son that packers have been Swimming

the year go into the feeder channels.
For steers Of such quality at has been

prices have been highest on record.
cattle such as sold to feeder buyers
two years ago at s7.25 now going into
killers hands at much better prices.
Last week a general price gain OF 100
Is cents was shown for practically all
grades and there were advances OF 25
cents in some instances, but inasmuch
as the feeder buyers were able to get
only the cheaper classes Of cattle here,
they did not have to pay advances as
great as marked beef steer trade. Only
few cattle went out to the country
at a cost Of $615@S6o and sales
above the latter price were very rare.
1t would have taken $7.o0@7.25 and
higher to command a strictly good
grade Of heavy feeders and stuff such
as sold at se.25@e5O was just decent
TO pretty good and rarely averaged
better than $50 pounds.
Only the mediocre sorts of light
feeders ranged down 1915 and lower
and stock cattle OF right good class
and averaging 600 pounds cost $1,000
Sis and better. Stockers down to $3.50
were a quite plain sort and only the
trashy little fellows with no claim to
breeding quality sold around s5.25 and
lower. A year ago the best feeders
went at $3.50 and a high class lot OF
stock steers cost 1925 15.4o. while bulk
of feeder business was at $460& 5.15.

TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, Wis, July 5,

GDGEh1ON, WIS., July ., 1J1A.
The heated spell of the past two
weeks has interfered considerably with
the transplanting of the new crop,
which it was hoped would be complet-
ed by July 1st. In quite few Sec
tions the dry weather has interrupted
this work completely as it was of little
use to set the plants in the field only to
be burned up later. Under such cir
cumstances the planted crop can hardly
do we'll and many uneven fields can now
be seen in travelling through the grow
ing districts. In a few localities, TOO,
shortage of plants is reported. Gen
eral rains must come before all the in
tended acreage will be out.
An occasional lot of last seasons crop
is yet delivered in the local market at
a trifie better than stemming prices,
but very little remains in the country
districts.
The business in cured leaf continues
in hand to mouth trade, meeting the
pressing needs of manufacturers. No
transactions of any moment are re-
ported.
The shipments out of storage reach
400 cases to all points from this market

NEW YORK, June 20, 1912.

NEW ORk, June 10, 1J1l.
The leaf market continues in fairly
active condition according to the stand
ard of the season. Heavy transactions
are not expected now, but the volume
of business done seems to be of suffic-
lent size to silence the perenniel grum-
bier. If there was any more activity
in one type than in any other it, was in
Sumatra, which is now in steady de-
fsland. !. The relatively small quantity
taken for America at yesterdays in
scription seems to indicate that the
rush for the new crop at those sales is
over. The cause is reported to be due
to the offerings falling behind the gen
eral attractiveness at the inscriptions
so far. AS there will be only one more
inscription before the yearly vacation
sets in, the trade is now in condition to
take pretty accurate account of the
available Sumatra stock for the Amer
ican market. And as neither better
nor much lower priced leaf can be ex-
pected from now on livelier invest
ment in the stock imported so far is
likely to take place from now on by the
manufacturers and jobbing trade. The
most significant event in the market,
however, was the sale this week of 100
bales of Porto Rican wrapper firsts,
seconds, thirds, fourths and fifths at
the average price of $500 per pound.
A price never heretofore realized for
Porto Rican wrappers of the sizes
given! The significance of the high
price in this sale lies in the fact that
the tobacco could have been acquired
for no other purpose than to serve as a
substitute for Havana wrapper leaf.
If the trade is willing to pay $500 for
Porto Rican leaf to do service that was
supposed to be reserved exclusively for
the Havana leaf, the prospects are not
far for revolution in our clear Havana
cigar industry provided the Cuban gov
ernment does not take prompt steps to
help along the rehabilitation Of its to-
bacco culture. The reports of the bad
colors in the new Havana wrapper
crops have no doubt stimulated the pur-
chase and accelerated the high price Of
the Porto Rican leaf. 1t seems to be
also an open secret in the market that
great deal of the Connecticut shade
grown leaf, particularly the wrapper
of dull and rather rough cast, is be-
ing absorbed by number Of our So
called clear Havana cigar manufacture
ers. Such happenings ought to come
to Cuba as an impressive meme tekel to
do it's utmost to save the reputation
and usefulness of its tobacco crops. =

LANCASTER, PA, June 70, 1917.
This has been {. late season for to-
bacco planting, but it is al in the
ground now, the past few days having
witnessed the transferal from the beds
to the fields. The general belief is that
this years acreage will be considerably
smaller than last years. which was
$1,000 acres. Many of the large plant
ers are shortening their tobacco crop
in favor of potatoes. Quite a number
of farmers, we'll known to the trade as
successful tobacco growers, have drop
ped its culture altogether this year,
while others have reduced their acreage
a half or third. At the present time
the plants have been in the ground long
enough to take hold we'll and only need
warm weather to grow rapidly. The
only things to fear for some time (for
the ground contains enough water to
last quite while) are the cut worms,
which have already appeared in some
sections. The local packers are using
every endeavor to persuade the grow
ers to give more care to the cultivation
of the crop, in order to develop its best
qualities.
Last year, for the first time in years,
the tobacco was bought early on its

Some farmers are blowing up the
ground recently planted with tobacco
and preparing it over again for the sec
ond transplanting, as the recent dry
spell killed off in some cases the entire
field. That which was set out during
the wet spells is still holding its own
and all indications at this time are to-
wards showers, SO that the early trans
planted will recover in case of rain.
There is abundance of time left yet
for a good tobacco crop and it may ex-
ceed in acreage and yield any other
crop for the past three years. 1t re-
quires only about two months.

Internal revenue taxes on 2,9O1, $50
cigars and cheroots and on IA, 100
pounds of tobacco were paid in the
western district of Wisconsin during
May, 1912, according to figures given
by the revenue officer. The tobacco
products increased by SIT pounds over
the preceding month, by 1863 pounds
over May, 1911, and by 16, 1863 pounds
for the eleven months of the fiscal year
over the same period in 1910-1911. The
output of cigars for the district was
larger by 1880 for May, 1912, than
in May, 1911.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

It begins to look now as if the new
tobacco crop would show quite an un-
even growth at the harvest end OF the
season. The transplanting, which start
ed in under most excellent conditions,
has been interrupted by hot, drying
weather that prevented the planting on
very many of the farms so that even
at this writing there is still consider
able acreage yet to be set and the soil
so completely dried out that it is i'm
possible to secure good stand in the
fields until rains supply the necessary
moisture. The more forehanded grow
ers completed this work while condi-
tons were favorable and the plants be-
came we'll rooted and have come
through the hot spell and the fields are
showing up fine. In some sections of
the. Vernon county district the drought
has held up the transplanting until it is
aquestion whether all the intended acre
age will be put out. In the southern
counties the crop is nearer pitched in
the fields, though the extreme heat of
last week will require considerable re-
setting. At all events there will be
considerable late set tobacco and much
variation to be seen in the size of the
growing plants as the season proceeds.
A few local showers have relieved the
situation this week, but for the good of
the crop everywhere general rains are
needed.

Four centuries ago tobacco was un-
known to civilized man, today there is
a trail of tobacco smoke around the
world. Four centuries ago, the abor-
igines of the two Americas were the
only users of tobacco; today there is
scarcely race or tribe upon the globe
that is not addicted to its use in some
form or other. Four hundred years
ago, the economic value of tobacco did
not exist so far as civilization was con-
cerned; now, it is one of the worlds
greatest industries, employing hundreds
of thousands of men and women in its
culture, manufacture and distribution,
&nd with a value for the finished pro-
duct that rivals that of the great food
staples. In four hundred years this
American weed has made the economic
conquest of the world. At first treated
as luxury or an expensive medicine,
it has become necessity. Once grown
only in tropical and semi tropical Amer
lea, it is now cultivated in every CONT
nent and in practically every country of
the world. 1t has adapted itself to
great extremes of cold and to many
varieties of soil, and it has become the
greatest revenue producer for the sup
port of governments. More bitterly
fought than was the introduction of
coffee and tea, tobacco swept away the
opposition of kings and mitred prelates,
laughed at secular and theological de-
nunciation and now holds it's growing
sway over literally billions of devotees.
Tobacco is an economic romance that
has no rival for interest IN modern in
dustrial history.

From the present outlook, the Can

with by the census Office during the
