NEW YORK, NOV. 70, 1917.
While tales of expanding business
activity and gratifying prosperity are
coming in from all parts of the country
our local leaf market is just plodding
along with an ordinary volume of trad
ing. Of transactions in bulk there
seems to be none. The different types
are purchased for immediate needs and
those needs do not seem to require for
the present at least any large supply.
This is especially the case with the
seed types and also with Sumatra. In
Havana leaf, however, trading is being
done far above the normal requirements
for the season. The new Havana crop
is evidently catching the favor Of the
manufacturer and he certainly cannot
go astray in it's investment. It is the
one type that is being contracted for
in larger quantities. For it is being
rightly calculated that the larger con-
sumption Of the new crop will not only
enhance prices but is likely to leave a
void in the proper supply if next years
crop should fail to come up to the
standard of the present one. journal.

Pennsylvania.

LANCASTER, PA, Nov. 19, 1912.
The buying of the new crop of Lam
caster county has begun, but nobody is
able to form any definite idea of how
much has already been contracted for.
Some estimates place the number of
acres sold as high as 5000, but the
dealers best calculated to form some
idea of the amount declare that 1000
acres will cover the entire amount. AS
a matter Of fact, the buying has been
done only by few large concerns, in
cluding the United Cigar Manufacture
ers Co., which seems to have secured
the lions share of what was bought.
When the buying began the price paid
was nine and three cents, but this soon
stiffened, and it is understood the last
sales were mostly at ten and three. A
few crops-a very few by the way
brought as much as eleven and two
cents. And even at these prices the
growers are reluctant to sell. They
appear to be in something of quandry
this year.
The 1912 crop is hardly likely to fall
below 1000 cases, rather more than
less, and it is good guess to make
that outside packers and manufacture
ers will take up half of it. If it full
fills the promise it gives now of curing
properly, it will be an excellent filler
crop, which is just what the trade
wants. Not in years has crop had
more favorable weather for curing than
the 1912.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS

EDGERTON, Wis, Nov. %, 1912.
There has been marked decline in
the buying movement of late so far as
the aggregate transactions are con-
cerned, but small amount of trading
still prevails at around prices frequent
ly quoted in this column. The largest
proportion of the crop remaining un-
sold lies in Crawford and Vernon coun-
ties, where the strongest prices have
been pretty steadily maintained and up
to the present time growers have de-
clined to accept anything but top fig
ures. In the lower counties buyers
operating in the interests of the low
grade dealers are doing less riding.
In old leaf the report comes that
Wisconsin leaf is selling we'll in the
eastern markets, when the samples are
displayed. The sale of a 235cs lot of
10 by S. E. Simonson & Co., Deer
field packers, to F. S. Baines is re-
ported. Jesse Martin sold 22cs lot of
'04 to local dealer.
If casing weather would come now
quite a good portion of the crop might
be taken down for stripping, as many
growers are now prepared to attend to
this work promptly.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 500 cases from this market to all
points for the week.

New England.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Nov. 19, 1912.
Stories are current that in number
of instances buyers have declined to
take over Connecticut valley crops at
the prices agreed upon last summer.
The following from the Suffield cores
pondence of Springfield paper is typ
ical of items appearing from various
towns in other papers. 1.-THE buyers
have been through the town the past
week looking over their purchases, and
it is reported that they have in one or
two cases reduced the price agreed
upon. One grower refused to be dock
ed and still! has his crop. Some of the
buyers claim that the fear of tariff re-
vision makes the price uncertain. 1t
is said that the crop is not all that was
claimed for it. The growers, however,
claim that this is all talk and that the
crop is one of the best raised in this
section for several years.
The tobacco may or may not be all
that was claimed for it (which in most
instances was merely that it was to be
hail, frost or pole-sweat damage) but
there can be little doubt that in large
number of cases the new crop is not all

that the real hitch comes. The buyers
and growers will have to fight it out.
The growers contention that the 1912
crop is one of the best in years is pure
fiction. The sooner the farmers get
this notion out their heads the better.
Hundreds of acres of tobacco suffered
irreparable drought damage in June
and July and hundreds more were dam
aged in a lesser degree. 1t may be put
down at this time that the 1912 New
England sun-grown crop is fair aver
age yield; certainly not better than the
average, unless it be within limited
areas. An average crop means, of
course, large amount of good tobacco
and considerable quantity of tobacco
which is not SO good.
