LANCASTER, PA, Dec. 9, 1912.

LANCASTER, PA, Dec. y, l9lZ.
Probably Is per cent of the 1912 crop
has been contracted for and next week
the first deliveries will be made to the
warehouses in this city. The United
Cigar Manufacturers Co., through its
local manager, Morris Levy, was prob
ably the first to enter the buying field
and the firm will be the first to have
some of the new crop delivered. The
United, it is said, has been the heavi
est buyer of 1912 leaf, one dealer esti-
mating their purchases at 80, 900 cases.
The Eisenlohrs are the next heaviest
buyers of 1912, their purchases being
placed at Is, 900 cases. The Eisenlohrs
generally buy the bulk of their Penn
sylvania tobacco in York county, but
the two great tobacco growing sections
there had several hail visitations last
summer, practically running the crops.
Buyers of the American Tobacco Co.
have also picked up good many hum
dred cases, while western manufacture
ers were in the market for large acre
ages. Very little has so far been
bought for New York concerns. Agents
of the latter have, however, been get
ting hold of considerable 1911, they evil
IDENTIFY preferring this certain" crop
to an uncertainty in the 1912. The
damp weather of the latter part of last
week enabled the farmers to strip much
| of their tobacco and they will be pre-
pared for delivery by the first of the
year.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKETS.
Continued From Page ~

a big hole in the amount of tobacco
that remained in the barn. Practically
all of the shaded and primed tobacco
has been taken down and not more than
10 per cent of the stalk-cured crop re-
mains on the laths. The percentage of
the entire crop which is available for
the warehouses is much larger than is
usually the case so early in the season.
Deliveries are being made on large
scale and in most instances buyers are
accepting the tobacco at the prices
agreed upon last summer. Where buy
ers erred was in blindly assuming that
proportion of wrappers to make it
profitable to the buyer regardless of
the price paid for it. There is good
stuff in the 1912 New England crop,
but the proportion of fine wrappers is
disappointing.

Canvassing for votes by Col.
Roosevelt and President Taft
came to an end when the vote of
New Jersey was taken, the state
going for Mr.. Roosevelt. 1t
looks like the former President
has the advantage in instructed
strength, and many believe that
he will be nominated at Chicago.
There are others who are of a
different opinion, and who be-
lieve that Mr.. Taft will win out
at the national convention.
There are many contests, and
the National Committee and the
temporary Chairman will have
much to do with nominating
either one of the aspirants, hence
the uninstructed vote and the
decisions in contests are going
to cut some figure. Mr.. Taft's
leaders claim that be will be
nominated, while Col. Roosevelt's
managers say that he already
has a cynch on the prize. The
Convention will meet on the 18th
of this month, and after an or
ganization has been perfected,
the tale will soon be told. Mr..
Roosevelt will attend the conven-
ton and will reach Chicago Sun
day before the day fixed for con-
vening of the clans. President
Taft may also attend, but there
is no announcement to that eff
feet at this writing.

"Seventh-We heartily indorse
the present able and progressive
administration of our State under
our officers, led by our distin-
guished Governor, the Hon.

promises made by our party in

Eighth in the interest of
the farmer, the wage Garner and

create safe and elastic system,
preserve the independent banks,
prevent any dominant political
or financial control and render re-

ble."
