North Carolina, and. TO some extent,
In the old belt in North Carolina and
Virginia, the total increase of which
will be somewhere between 15 and Is
per cent. There are so many con-
tingencies regarding the outcome of
the tobacco crop that has just been
planted that no attempt has been
made to forecast the yield for 1919.
We can all tell a great deal more
about 1t in four or Ave months from
this time.
In hurley tobacco there has been a
full crop planted. possibly more than
last year. and there should be no fear
but what a sufficient will be raised for
all requirements The only thing that
most OF the manufacturers seem to be
interested in Ia that there should be
a big crop OF thin bright tobacco.
The question OF foreign freights is
one that should receive the attention
of this association. These ocean rates
have been advanced very much, and
tobacco from 500 to 400 per cent. and
there is no telling what much higher
rates may be applied on tobacco. 1t
appears that no United States courts
or commissions have any control over
ocean rates, as practically all OF the
vessels ny foreign nagS- There 10 some

that in many countries much money IL

the vessels are charged for landing
sufficient rates to take care OF these
expenditures, and the owners Of the
vessels are simply passing it up for
the shipper to pay, and under these
conditions large corporate holdings be-
tween the foreign ships and the
smaller lines are very willing to fall
into these higher rates) have a stran-
gle hold. very hard to break.
The Export Situation.
Another point Is that United States
exports are growing larger and larger,
and there may be = very natural feel

in Brooklyn by Ban B. johnson, that

he IL suspended or not. His seven

NEW YORK, July 16-Pians for O

eeption Of one important item. The
players Of the teams. II they want to
trot around the globe. each must put
up 1850 beforehand to guarantee ex-
penses. or course. IL the promoters Of
the tour make money out Of exhibition
games on American and foreign soil the
players' money viii be returned to them
when settling time comes, and there
may be something to boot
But Just now many Of the New York
and Chicago players do not see why
they should be asked to put up 30 much
them speak plainly. They viii not pack
their kits and travel around the earth
unless the promoters pay everything.
Tradition shows that ballplayers, as
rule. never have displayed ea4erness to
dig deeply into their own pockets for
trips Of pleasure or barnstorming tours
When A. q. Spalding took the Chicagos
and Ail-Amerfcans around the world In
1sS9 he financed everything and prob
ably lost some money. But the players
had no cause for worry.
Charles A. Comiskey, owner Of ths
White Sox; Jimmy Callahan, manager
gether with Leader McGraw. OF the
Giants, are aware Of the unwillinxness
OF some Of the players to put up the
necessary guarantees. but they are not
talking for publication Just now. In
fact McGraw refuses to discuss the trip
until the Giants are sure Of the PEN
