NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 1913.
The activity in the leaf market is re-
suming it's normal state Desirable
types of leaf are constantly in demand
and leading to prompt purchases. Old
Connecticut broadleaf is being espec-
tally sought for now and gobbled up
wherever found Of course, the binder
scarcity cannot be appeased at present
and every available case of binder leaf
is being dragged out. Ohio filters have
also steady call while there does not
seem to be any appreciable request for
the Pennsylvania. The Florida Georgia
leaf is helping out the demand for
wrappers while the Sumatra has a
steady though not rushing SALE The
inscriptions of the new crop which will
start in next month, seem to act as
usual as restraint on a b1isker trad
ing in Sumatra as prospective purchas-
ers are holding back their investments
in it till the quality and price of the
new crop become matter of public
record. In the meanwhile our Sumatra
importers are preparing to leave for
the inscription seat on every available
steamer next week. j Journal.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

| EDGERT0N, WIS.,, Feb. Il, 1918.
An almost continuous stream of to-
bacco teams are coming daily at the re-
ceiving points as the crop is being
transferred from the farms to the
warehouses. Fine weather and good
roads that has prevailed most of the
time this winter has facilitated the
work of delivery greatly. 1t begins to
look now if the crop would be in the
hands of the warehousemen at much
earlier date than usual for the receiv-
ing has gone forward more expedi-
tiously than most other years. Buying
OF reflections as we'll as the unsold
fraction of the crop is all the time be-
ing conducted, but generally at prices
somewhat reduced from earlier quota
tions. Among recent sales are: Fred
Green, 5a at 10c; O. M Turner, 5a at
1O&4c; John Hyland, 5a at 84&4c; AL
fred Bratlie, "A at 9&3c; N. c., Nelson,
la at 7c.
The work of preparing the crop for
the cases in the warehouses is pro-
crossing quite satisfactorily as the
help is we'll organized and everything
working smoothly.
There continues steady demand for
all leaf that meets the demands of the
binder trade, but local markets are be-
coming we'll cleaned of such goods.
The Johnson packing of II at Morris
sonville of 294cs has been sold to A. S.
Flagg. O. c. Moen also sold 210cs
lot of II to We'll & Co.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 500cs from this market to all
points since last report.

VIRooUA, WIS. Feb. 12. 1913.

These may, with propriety, be termed
tobacco days." There is hustline
in country districts among buyers. Un.
sold, rejected and withdrawn crops are
being gathered in. The highways are
lined with wagons and sleighs making
deliveries. Saturday and Monday were
among the big days in Viroqua. We
should judge that fully one-half of the
tobacco acreage of Vernon county has
been delivered.
One of the really best returns from
two acres of ground we have heard OF
this season is reported by John Will
liams, who lives south of Viroqua. He
received 1851. IS, selling at 15a and SC.
The ground on which this was grown
has been cropped continuously with to-
bacco for sixteen years. N. e. Fort
ney, for Eisenlohr Bros, received the
crop. p.-Censor.

LANCASTER, PA. Feb. /

LANCASTER, PA, Feb. IL, 1913.
The big break in the prices of this
county's 1912 crop has taken place, but
local packers are not scrambling over
one another in order to take advantage.
Comparatively few of them are in a
position that warrants their buying. So
far as estimates go, it appears that
about 80 per cent of the crop has been
bought. The 80 per cent bought was
secured at an average price of ten and
three cents, somewhat lower figure
than our tobacco has sold for in some
years, but the 20 per cent remaining
unsold is not going to fetch any such
price. A few packers have done 1T
tie buying, and those who did had no
trouble in getting the choicest kind of
goods at ten and three cents. And
some nice goods, the buyers say as nice
as the incest, was gathered up for as
low as eight and nine cents.
Business among the local packers
continues distressingly dull, and the
long-continued slump is beginning to
get on the packers nerves. Only one
large sale has been reported lately, a
sale of $50 cases of 1911 goods by Delp
& Hershey of Lititz to Spitzner & Son
of New York. The price was not made
public. Lately small quantities of these
goods have sold all the way from twelve
to fifteen and half mostly
around fourteen and fifteen cents.
All our cigar manufacturers are ask
ing for just now is more hands They
are something not to be had. 1t was a
matter considerable surprise when it
was learned after the January report
of the Ninth internal revenue district
had been made up, embracing thirty
five counties in Pennsylvania, by the
way, that there was only a trifing diff
ference in the receipts from cigars for
December last and January In the
after month the receipts were $685.
I11.74, the tax on SO, $40, $50 cigars,
while in december the receipts were
52O8, 236. %, Ithe tax on SO, 412, 076 cigars.

Holmes bill very unreasonable where it
would compel the buyer to accept and
pay the full contract price regardless
of the condition and damage of such
crop at the time of delivery Possibly
Mr.. Holmes can frame up a law that
will not conflict with the constitution
whereby he can impose penalty on
the grower to the amount of cent per
pound on all tobacco sold before it is
stripped from the stalk. This would
stop the whole game and would meet
with the approval of the farmer as we'll
as the buyer. Of course, Mr.. Holmes
goes further and somewhat modifes or
rather muddles his bill by the follow
ing words: UNLESS any inferior quality
or unsound conditions of such crop
shall be due to the negligence or willful
act of the vendor" Now, here is
where the dispute and litigation is sure
to arise. The writer has had num-
Der of years experience both in the
growing and buying of tobacco and I
defy anyone to tell when looking at to-
bacco as to whether the damage was
due to willful act of grower or condi-
ton of weather or by accident. For
instance: The tobacco is shed burned;
did the grower willfully neglect the
care of his shed or were the weather
conditions such that it was impossible
to save it? In case it is wet; did the
grower put water on it or did it acci-
dentally get wet by some other cause?
Suppose the shed is blown down and
almost ruins the crop, no fault of the
grower, but Mr.. Holmes says the buy
er must receive it at the contract price.

At session held at Baton Rouge last
Monday, the Board of Liquidation of the
State debt awarded the new issue Of State
bonds to a syndicate Of bankers composed
of the Whitney Central National Bank
of New Orleans, The Hibernia Bank and
Trust Co., of New Orleans, Potter, Cboate,
&Prentice and Harris & Co., of New York
at the price OF 96 l42 for the entire issue.
The issue amounts to $40, 1851, 40 of 80
year, l2 per cent, serial bonds and the
proceeds will be used to retire the present
State debt which natures January LIST.
While the price obtained is not altogeth-
or satisfactory, we presume that it was
the best that could be had and the sale
settles the troublesome question of meet
ing the State debt when it falls due and
preventing the possibility of the States
defaulting on its obligations.

SOME COTTON FIGURES FROM WAR.
Rem COUNTY.

There is no more interesting sub.
ject just now to Tensas planters than
the growing of cotton profitably un.
der present conditions.
We, therefore, give considerable
space this week TO a communication
from County Commissioner of Agri-
culture Tanner, of Warren County
Miss, printed in the Vicksburg
Herald Of last Sunday, in which
that official gives the results obtain
ed by two farmers in Warren county
this year on two plats of land cult
waited strictly according to govern
ment instruction.
Mr.. Tanner states that the yield
on one plat was 13, $50 pounds of
seed cotton, or 4 $50 pounds of lint
and that the cotton and seed brought
s755.23. This yield was obtained at
a total cost, allowing $3.50 per acre
for rent, of S204 .65, leaving a net
profit or the nine acres of $3.50. So,
or sci II per acre. On the plat also
of nine acres, the net profit is put
at S56. 81 per acre.
If these figures a. ~ we ~
profit are correct, and we have no !,
reason to doubt them, coming, as
they do, from an official source, !

there ought to be no reason for
Tensas planters to despair of again
growing cotton at a profit. II is true
that these results were obtained on
small plats of land, nine acre tracts,
but the profit shown, $50 per acre
or Whereabouts, is so large as to leave
ample room for a good profit result
ing from lesser yields.
However the results said to have
been obtained may he regarded by

Huge Sea-Going Ferryboats
for Key West-Havana Line

PHILADELPHIA, Sept 1o.-The
Florida East Coast Railroad Com
pany, through Its representative In
this city, M. C. Furstenau, yesterday
announced It's intention to establish
what will be termed an open sea ferry
from Key West to Havana, dis
lance of 105 miles.
Contracts for the two ferryboats
will be awarded to Delaware River
shipbuilders this week. These boats.
which will be constructed of steel.
will be All feet long, So feet beam
and "a feet depth of hold. 1t Is
claimed that the ferryboats will be
the largest of the kind in the world
each having capacity for carrying
tihrty-six of the largest passenger
cars. They will be driven by engines
Of 3,000-horsepower. and will make
the run from Florida to Cuba IN a
few hours.
1t is proposed that when a passen-
ger boards train at New York he
will be landed by the railroad and its
ferry service at Havana without
having to leave the car or be dis
turbed in any way by being compelled
to change cars It is claimed by Mr.
F'ustenau that the new service will be
constructed to stand the stormiest
weather without the slightest d 'scom-
fort to passengers who may remain In
the cars. Quarters will be built or
the ferryboats for those who desire
to make change for the run from
Key West to Havana. The ferryboats
will leave Havana and Key West
simultaneously, connecting with the
Florida East Coast railroad.
