SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Oct. Is, 1912.
Seven hundred acres of early har-
vested tobacco were taken down in the
Connecticut valley in the "damp" at
the weekend. The weather has been
favorable for the cure of the late crops
the past two weeks and even the most
backward crops are rapidly approach
ing the stage at which they will be i'm
mune from polesweat.
The tobacco market is quiet and firm.
Prices are unchanged. No sales of the
new shaded crop have yet been re-
ported.
The cloth used in the tents on the
shaded tobacco plantations is being
rolled up and delivered to rag dealers
who have purchased it. The cloth,
while not strong enough for a second
season, makes highly desirable rags
and is in especial demand by paper
mills which make a speciality of fine
linen paper.
Another matter which disturbs grow
ers is the growing Importance of Porto
Rico in the tobacco world. When Porto
Rican tobacco was placed on the free
list growers were given to understand
that the island had very limited possi-
bilities in the tobacco line and at best
was capable of producing only a COM
paratively inferior grade of tobacco.
According to all evidences, Porto Rico
is not only producing tobacco in large
and increasing quantities, but is also
growing some highly desirable leaf
from any standpoint.

New YORK, Oct. 19, 1912.

NEW Ohh, OCC. 10, 1VAG'
Market conditions do not reveal any
rushing activity, although trading keeps
up well. The new Wisconsin is being
eagerly looked for and what is sampled
is being disposed of at advancing fig
ures. Filler types are also rapidly alb
sorbed, so much so that even the 1909
Pennsylvania is getting it's inning and
contrects are being made already for
the 1912. The only dissatisfaction
manifested is caused by the high and
steadily advancing prices. The market
seems to be more concerned about the
unprecedented figures paid for this
years New England crop than in the
course of business itself. ''How is the
manufacturer going to come out if he
has to pay such prices for his raw ma
terial," is the steadily recurring re-
frain on the comment of the leaf to-
bacco situation. But it seems to be the
old story of supply and demand. The
cigar industry since last month has be-
come exceedingly busy, so much so that
there has been a general call for more
hands from all ouer the cigar manufac-
turing districts of the country, and a
general complaint of scarcity of work
men and the steady reports of the ne
cessity of night work to fill orders. This
busy condition of the cigar industry
naturally requires plentiful supply OF
leaf, and the requirements of more leaf
naturally drive up price. The advance
of price is especially noticeable in the
wrapper grades, and the failure to get
any supply of Sumatra the last two in
scriptions would naturally help to
stiffen the price Of the wrapper leaf.
At yesterdays last Sumatra inscription
only so bales were acquired for the
American market, and none at the pre-
ceding inscription of yesterday week
ago. The fall inscriptions altogether
did not perceptibly increase the Suma-
ira stock in the market. .-J ournal

The pinch of the binder situation is
now being felt more acutely than ever
before. The New England crop, both
the 1911 CROP, is practically out of the
market. There is an extremely lively
demand for old Wisconsin binders, of
which there is only a small supply
available now. The 1911 crop of Wis
sconsin, as is well known, yielded a
smaller quantity of binders than the
state had produced in many years.
Very listle has been sampled so far, for
a majority Of the packers decided not
to disturb the tobacco until it had dried
off little better. The bulk of the
good packings was taken up by large
manufacturing concerns about a year
ago. Leaf

The buying the new crop is being re-

the interests of the low grade operators,
though all classes of leaf are being
contracted for to the amount of few

!. NOTE BOOK SKETCHES :

The tone of the eastern tobacco mar
kets discloses situation that the trade
is at least waking up to realization
of a real shortage in the supply OF
binder leaf. Before another crop will
be available the most acute condition
seems likely to prevail known to the
manufacturing trade in years. The
visible supply of the II Wisconsin crop
to go upon the market is the smallest
ever known and altogether does not
equal some one of our largest manu-
featuring concerns. 1t will not alone
be a matter of price but where can we
get the goods that will be the puzzling
question.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1912-10-25

The contribution to the Democratic
war chest on the part of some cigar
manufacturing interests has caused
considerable conmotion in trade circles.
For it is assumed that the contribution
means the support Of the announced
and pledged Democratic policy of a
tariff for revenue only and the ques-
ton is being lively discussed whether
our cigar industry is actually in such a
condition as to part without hurt or in
jury protection under which it came
into being, grew and prospered. The
platform issued at Baltimore as a sol
emn covenant with the people starts in
with the following pledge: eve de-
clare it to be a fundamental principle
of the Democratic party that the fed
eral government under the constitution
has no right or power to impose or col
lect tariff duties except for the purpose
of revenue" Here, then, is an un-
equivocal pledge to revoke the protec-
tive tariff duties on cigars. A duty OF
$3.50 per pound and Is per cent ad val
Drum nobody will have the hardihood
to deny as being anything else but a
strongly protective duty which was i'm
posed, not for revenue, but chiefly, II
not exclusively, to create domestic
cigar industry and to protect it In the
home market against any possible for
eign competition And since it was
imposed about sixty years ago it has so
protected our cigar industry and made
it possible for it to control and doml-
nate our own market. From this safe
position our cigar industry is to be
ousted with the advent of the Demo-
cratic party into national control. A
revenue tariff on cigars means one low
enough to stimulate the import Of for
eign cigars to such an extent as to in
crease proportionately the revenue.
And the lower the duties the larger are
bound to be the foreign cigar imports.
If by increased foreign cigar importa-
tion the prices of the domestic procucts
should be cut, wages of workmen be
reduced, prices of domestic leaf squeez-
ed down and the manufacturer himself
pushed to the wall, that would be no
concern of a Democratic administra-
tion. 1t would be bound merely to ex-
act revenues but not to protect the
manufactures. With a revenue tariff
on cigars we could expect Havana per-
feetos to sell at Is cents in our market,
and the place of the products of our
clear and seed and Havana factories to
be taken by the imported dime cigar
from Cuba. And as for foreign COM
petition with our nickel cigars, we
would have to face the competition of
both the powerful cigar industry of
Germany and of the Mexican cigar in
dustry right at our own doors. With a
revenue tariff only on cigars the great
German cigar factories would have
easy sailing in our market as the Ger
man government refunds to its manu-
facturers the duties on the raw mater
ial on their export products, while our
own manufacturers would still have to
pay revenue duty on their foreign
raw material. Are, therefore, not our
cigar manufacturers bound to take time
and thought to reflect what a change
from protective to a revenue tariff is
likely to cost them?-U. S. Tobacco
Journal.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1912-10-25

Tobacco loses not less than twenty
pounds in every hundred between the
time when it is first picked at the plan
tation and the time when it arrives in
the cigar factory to be used. The re-
suit is that the manufactures who buys
tobacco at the weight it is marked
when it was packed is paying for at
least 20 per cent more leaf than he
actually receives. Of course, allow
ances are made to him for the shrink
age, but the method of figuring is com
plicated and confusing and works more
to the advantage of the shipper than it
does to the manufacturer.
( In a report to the state department,
Vice Consul General Woodward, at
Vancouver, Canada, says that expert
!ments in tobacco growing which have
been carried on for number OF years
in the Okanogan valley, British Colum-
bia, in the vicinity of Kelowna, have
been uniformely successful owing to
the conditions of the soil and climate.
Encouraged by these results, tobacco
growing on large scale was under
taken the past season by the British
American Tobacco Co. of Vancouver,
which owns about 1000 acres of land
in the Okanogan valley, of which about
100 acres, including shade tents for
Sumatra wrapper, were planted this
year, the principal varieties being Com
stock Spanish and Havana. 1t is ex-
pected that the area will be consider
ably increased next year. During the
latter part of August the first cutting
was made The tobacco had made an
exceptionally rapid and vigorous growth
and the yield is expected to be above
the average. The shade grown Suma-
ira tobacco made a growth of eight
feet. He estimates that about 100
tons of tobacco will be harvested this
year. The company manufactures and
disposes of locally several brands of
cigars from its British Columbia pro-
duct.

PIONEER LADY
LAID TO REST

Caldwell, Nov .24.-The funeral
of Mrs. Frank Gilbert, one OF the
pioneers of the lower Boise val
ley, who died at her home i'll
Caldwell last Friday evening, was
held at Notus, the old family
home, at noon today. The de-
ceased had been failing IN health
for more than a year, finally sui
fering a nervous breakdown that
eliminated in her death.
Mrs. Gilbert was born in North
Carolina 70 years ago. When 4
years of age her parents moved
to Missouri, where she spent her
girlhood days. In 1858 she
married John Cess. In 1865 the
family moved to Idaho, taking
up a homestead near the present
town Of Notus, living there until
about four years ago, when Mrs.
Gilbert moved to this city.
In 1868, three years after the
arrival OF the family in Idaho
the first husband OF the deceased
died. She married Frank Gilbert
in 1870. From her first husband
she is survived by three children
William Cess of Portland, Lee
Cess of Montana, and Mrs. Allie
Lansing of Emmett; from the
second two sons surviving, Ed

PARMA BOYS
WIN GAME
College of Idaho Second
Team Meets Defeat
Saturday

Last Saturday the second team
OF the College OF Idaho came
down to do battle with the local
high school eleven. The playing
was fast and furious and the
game takes rank as one of the
best, II not the best, ever seen on
the local gridiron. The visiting
team was very heavy, probably
outweighing the Parma tean'10 0
pounds to the man, but it was
also slow and over confident.
Only in one period of the game,
the last quarter, did the Caldwell
eleven seem able to make con-
sistent gains. In this period they
carried the ball down to Parma's
goal by line bucking tactics, but
Parma got possession of the ball
on q tumble and punted out of
danger. Parma's scores we're
made on a safety, touchdowns
by OMAHA and Twitchell and a
goal kick by Fisk. The other
attempt at a goal kick was a
failure. The score was Is to 0
in favor OF Parma.
The one big feature OF the
game was a sensational go yard
run for a touchdown by Frank
Twitchell on the recovery of one
OF the enemy's punts Martin,
Parma's big center, broke thru
Caldwell's line several times and
tackled the opposing runners be-
fore they were fairly started.
Other features were the running
OF Parma's backs, the line buck
ing OF OMAHA and the tackling
of Baldrige.
The two teams lined up as fol
lows:
