VIRoQUA, WIS, Aug. Il. 1912.

Really chilly atmosphere for two
weeks, with almost daily showers or
downpours of rain, has retarded to-
bacco development, continued uneven
conditions of growth and delayed oper-
ations in the fields. The showers have
not been so detrimental as has the cool
ness. The effect is to delay harvest a
fortnight, or later than anticipated. In
many fields there is remarkable growth
and fine outlook, but as whole, is un-
even and apparently stunted. Ten days
of bright and hot weather wonld per-
form miracles in the tobacco fields.
Regardless of the uneveness, topping
is proceeding rapidly.
Many handlers of the weed have been
travelling over the growing districts,
taking observations of general condi-
tions, but the Censor has not learned
Of crop having been contracted for.
That field buying will soon follow,
seems but natural, if past custom pre-
walls. The Hillsboro Sentry tells that
an Inspector went through that region
offering shilling straight for weed.

Tobacco buying has commenced, the
army of buyers that have been riding
throughout the growing districts have
finally broken the ice and a number of
crops are reported to have been pur-
chased. Two Johnstown crops, the
Herb Dunbar and Thompson Bros.
crops, the former at 14c and the latter
at 15c for the good end, are among the
number. A few Rush Creek crops near
Ferryville have also been bought at
prices ranging from 123 to 1890. We
understand that contracts have been
made near Viola at prices ranging from
13 to 15c with &c for the filler end. 1t
looks now as if the greater portion of
the good prospect crops will be picked
up in the very near future With such
prices offered the growers are not go
ing to refuse to give the option. In
addition to those crops mentioned here,
no doubt many others have also been
contracted for already. Independent.

Despite the continued slackness of
business, or probably because of it, the
leaf market has riveted it's attention on
the rather premature buying in the
Connecticut and Wisconsin tabacco
fields. The anxiety and worriment of
the leaf market is caused not only by
the early buying, but more so by the
prices at which the crops are reported
to have been contracted for. An aver
age of eighteen cents for Connecticut
Havana seed and of fifteen cents for
Wisconsin not yet off the fields, and
which means cost of twenty-one cents
to the packer for binder leaf, are in
deed cause enough to wrinkle the Sc
renity of the leaf market. But then
to the disinterested observer it would
appear that these things happen almost
every year. Let the leaf market turn
its close scrutiny rather to the internal
revenue returns on the output of our
cigar industry for the past fiscal year
and it is bound to find in those figures
more genuine cause for Well-founded
worriment than in the occasional pick
up of few crops of the new growth
at an apparently sitting figure. Those
early transactions are engaged in, and
the high prices are being offered chief
ly by few of the largest cigar manu-
featuring concerns which from the very
nature of their enormous and ever

The buying of the new crop in the
fields has gained considerable headway
in the southern growing sections during
the week where the large operators
have their men posted, and contracts
for good many hundred acres of the
most promising crops have been made.
Prices range largely from IL to 13 cents
for bundle delivery, which growers
quite generally are willing to accept.
We possibly might fill column with
sales but the following will show about
the range taken:

The harvest is just fairly under way
but we are told that considerable to-
bacco recently contracted is being hur-
ried to the sheds rather prematurely.
The first hail storm of any moment this
season covered quite portion of the
best growing districts of Crawford
county on Sunday last, causing good
deal of damage to the crop in the path
of the storm. Weather conditions of
the week have been favorable for the
growth of the later tobacco which is
making a satisfactory sized leaf and
needs only late fall to bring to ma
turity.
The market for old leaf has develop
ed but little news. N. L. Carle has
purchased 180cs of II packed by the
Equity Society at London. Frank Pier
son sold his IL crop of 21cs to j. M.
Conway.
The shipments out Of storage reach
but about 400 cases from this market
to all points for the week.

The internal revenue returns of the
stamp taxes paid by our tobacco indus
tries and of the output of our cigar,
cigarette and manufactured tobacco
factories for the fiscal year 1911-1912,
ended June Both last, tell fascinating
story, but not at all encouraging to
our cigar industry. For the internal
revenue figures show production for
the fiscal year of only 1886, $50, 303
large cigars with an increase of only
4, ,485, GIT, which increase, however,
turns into large deficit when the i'm
ports Of Porto Rican and Philippine
cigars, which are not part of our
continental cigar industry, are deduct
ed from the total. Our Porto Rican
cigar imports during the fiscal year
amounted to 169, 1873, 410 and our Philip
pine cigar imports to 72, 843, 780, total
of 241, ,977, 100. Deducting this total
from the tax paid output of large ci
gars leaves but seven billions in round
figures as the net quantity of the large
cigar production of our domestic con-
tinental cigar industry. This retro
gressive plight must appear the more
distressing in contrast with the almost
fabulous increase of our cigarette pro-
duction. The latter has risen within
the last fiscal year to an almost un-
heard of quantity. And yet unpre-
cedented as the figures of our cigar
cite production would appear they do
not contain the full scope of our cigar
cite consumption. For thousands of
millions of cigarettes are being con-
sumed outside of their regularly manu-
factured and tax stamped output. These
cigarettes are rolled by the individual
consumers themselves from the pre-
pared leaf sold them in packages.
Truly, we have become cigarette
smoking nation relegating the cigar,
once the pride and chief output of our
tobacco industry, to very modest back
seat. It is no doubt due also to the un-
paralleled rise of the cigarette industry
that the production of little cigars is
falling off at terrific rate. The de-
crease of their output in the last fiscal
year amounted to II per cent. 1t is
evident that our cigar industry alone
among all the branches of the tobacco
industries is losing favor with the
smoking public, as every other branch
besides cigarettes shows healthy ad
vances. For the production of chew
ing and smoking tobaccos increased by
1900, ,473 pounds, and even snuff by
nearly 1900, 900 pounds. u. S. Tobacco
