Well, we had a great time over at
the Empire theatre this afternoon at
the opening of The Argus free cook
ing school. Mrs. Siple is quite wiz
ard in things culinary. 1t seems to
me, the incest thing about Mrs. Siple
IS that she Is decidedly practical. She
doesn't talk in terms which we common
everyday housewives could not under
stand, but her remarks flash common
sense. Her talk fitted in well with the
menu she prepared which was as fol-

After the lecture-demonstration was
over one woman asked Mrs. Siple if
she was a suffraget, but Mrs. Siple
didn't seem to want TO get into a polit-
zeal discussion and evaded the ques-
tion by saying that she Is militant in
but one respect and that is in regard
to the high cost OF living. She said
that with a rolling pin and kitchen
spoon she loses no opportunity to lam
bast the aforesaid high living cost,
and that if she was not so busy plot
ting and waging war against the high
cost OF living, she might not be a
suffraget. which by the way, seemed
TO me as q very clever way of an
swering the question.
\ remarkable thing about today's
menu was the manufacture of the lem.
on cake which was of an extreme rich
nature, but which was made without a
particle of butter. Mrs. Siple says
that she is going to teach every women
in Rock Island who cares to learn,
how to make BUTTERFLIES cakes, and
thus cut down expenses on this most
costly Of all cookery products.
BIG SESSION TOMORROW.
Mrs. Siple says that tomorrow after,
Moons meeting will eclipse todays in
that she now feels a little bit ac,
quainted with Rock Island audience
and that she is able, since the ice is
broken, to get down 70 real work on

New York.
New YORK, March Is, 19

The market continues to be fairly
active. There is a constant demand
for nearly every type of leaf with the
exception perhaps of Pennsylvania of
which there seems to be an over-abun-
dance of several years crops held at
prices which buyers are evidently re-
luctant to pay. In consequence OF the
tardy movement of the accumulated
Pennsylvania the farmers organization
of that state has resolved to decrease
the tobacco acreage this year and to
limit the raising of broadleaf, as re-
ported in our regular correspondence
from both Lancaster and Philadelphia.
What is Pennsyl, ania's s loss seems to
have been the gain of Ohio which is
being fast cleared out of the market at
rising figures. Wisconsin BIS and On
ondaga filters are sharing also IN this
preference Binders remain scarce and
the prospects are of very high figures
for Connecticut seconds both of broad
leaf and Havana Seed. The wrapper
portion of the broadleaf is calculated
at minimum and likely therefore to
reach an unprecedented figure as the
speciality of broadleaf wrapped cigars
must have that type of tobacco. The
Florida-Georgia shade-grown leaf re-
mains in constant demand as last years
crop turned out to have been the best
qualified for many years past. And it
is selling at reasonable figures which
are moreover likely to get a boost from
the result of the second Amsterdam
inscription held yesterday at which
prices are reported to have reached the
point paid for two years ago in crop
of but limited desirable marks for the
United States. Whether the high prices
paid at yesterday inscription will keep
up the Sumatra increase seems to wor-
ry the speculative mind of our Sumatra
importer, while it is being. regarded as
kind of tonic by our own raisers of
shade-grown leaf who expect to profit
from the jump on the Sumatra price.
In the Havana leaf market the senti-
ment seems to be all serene. For not
only does the satisfaction with last
years crop hold out in steady activ-
ity in it, but the reports of another
good serviceable crop of improved quail
ity and of larger percentage in wrap
per leaf are animating the dealers in
and users of Havana leaf with great
hopes and big prospects. journal.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, Wis, March 81, 1913.

EDGERTON, WIS, March Il, 1913.
All indications point towards seeing
the tobacco handling season closed at
an earlier date this year than for some
time past. By April first not only will
be seen all the early purchases receiv-
ed, but the crop sold out closer in the
country than ever before at this date.
Only widely scattering lots now re-
main in growers hands and the hunt
for them must shortly Come to an end.
There are plenty of buyers standing
ready to take over even the last leaf.
The warehouse season too, is fast
drawing to close. The United Cigar
Manufacturers Co. have closed all their
plants this week with the exception of
the one in Edgerton. All the large
operators are liable to disappointed at
the close of the season to find the total
of their packing short of anticipated
figures owing to the lighter yield per
acre, with little opportunity of increas-
ing their holdings.
If there was much old leaf for sale
in local hands the movement would be
satisfactory enough, for there is an
excellent demand for everything of a
binder nature, but unfortunately there
is very little to be had.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 300 cases from this market to all
points for the week. Since last report
40 car loads have been received from
outside points for warehouse handling.

LANCASTER, PA, March 10, 1913.

LANCASTER, Pa, March 10, 1913.
Business is fiat and some of the older
packers say they can't remember when
it was worse, even during panic years.
Where it used to be customary at this
season of the year to sell 100 cases Of
goods, not a tenth of the number is
selling now.
1t is very generally believed that if
the tariff, as to foreign tobacco and
cigars, is let alone, or else settled, the
tobacco trade would improve. And it
is mighty strange it don't improve any,
way. considering the condition of the
cigar industry, which is in such salts
factory state in the Ninth Pennsylvania
district, at least.
Of the goods, few enough, which our
people have lately been selling, as much
1909 figured as of any other year. The
1910 goods are very high priced just
now because they are getting scarce,
but the 1911 is not held at tunreasonably
high figures, just enough to give the
packer modest margin for profit. The
1909 ranges from nine to eleven cents,
with the former price more in evidence
than the latter, while 1911 goods are
offered at fourteen to sixteen cents.
When asked for an explanation as to
the dull market, not few of our pack
ers declare existing conditions are due
to over-production of filler tobacco.
And this bad condition of the market
is reacting on the growers. Had they
been satisfied with ten cents pound
the er ce Lancaster county crop would
now bt zone, instead of over Is per
cent beng still in the growers hands,
with the prospect good of being on
hand for long time yet. The past
week buying was resumed in small
way, and, it may be added, at small
prices, too, as low as seven and half
cents. The packers even expect a
further break in prices. Reports from
York county indicate shrinkage in
the acreage this season, but in this
county the outlook is that the average
number of acres will be planted.

During the calendar year of 1912 we
imported total of 6, 141, 468 pounds of
leaf suitable for wrappers, of which we
exported during the year 526, 929 pounds
leaving a net wrapper import of 5, ,6l4,-
$50 pounds On the first of January,
1912, our bonded warehouses through
out the country held stock Of wrap
per leaf of 1924, ,801 pounds which
added to the net importations during
the year gave us a wrapper stock for
the year Of II, ,579, $40 pounds. But on
the first of January, 1913, our bonded
warehouses held stock of 1894, 600
pounds of wrapper leaf, which when
deducted from the total supply OF the
year shows that 5, ,645, $40 pounds OF
wrapper leaf were withdrawn from
bond, that is, went into consumption
during the past calendar year OF 1912.
AS all this with the exception OF the
unstated quantity of wrapper leaf com
ing from Cuba, which generally is
classified as being not more than from
forty to fifty thousand pounds. and
few other thousand pounds OF other
wrapper leaf that find their way into
the American market from other parts
of the world, came from the Neither

as Sumatra, the consumption of Suma-
ira in this country during the calendar
year of 1912 amounted to about thirty
two thousand bales. In other words,
our cigar factories consumed IN 1912
million and a half pounds more, or
about nine thousand bales of Sumatra
more than they did. in the year 1911.
Of filler leaf we imported during the
past year 81, 331, ,467 pounds of which
we exported /, ,697, ,O41 pounds, leaving
the net importations 49, 634, 426 pounds.
We had, however, stock of 22, 683, ATT
pounds of filler leaf in bond on January
/, 1912, which added to our net impor-
tations during the year carried our
supply of filler leaf up to 72,3i7, 903
pounds. OF this supply, however, there
remained in our bonded warehouses on
January /, 1913, 81, BIC, 1886 pounds,
which deducted from the total supply

eel Tabaco,'' leading newspaper
of Havana, devoted to the tobacco in
terest, in it's issue of February 25th,
had the following to say abou tthe crop:
The crop of this year, according to all
the sayings of the intelligent ones in
the question of leaf tobacco, may be
stated, without fear of being mistaken,
to be the greatest which has been
known, not in many years as Some de-
clare, but the greatest that has ever
been produced, as there is no recollec-
tion of the enormous number of bales
that the yield may amonnt to. 1t was
believed that the later planted tobacco
would not yield the large quantity of
bales that the enormous number of
seedlings set out might have been
counted upon to yield, because they
were beginning to suffer from the want
of rains, and besides in size and quality
were not as desired, when fortunately
came the saving rains in all the west
ern provinces.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES


The Paul bill, intended to regulate
the sale of tobacco in advance OF de-
livery, mention of which has previously
been made in this column, passed the
assembly last week with but little op-
position. The measure is substitute
for the original bill introduced, but the
prime motive is to discourage field buy
ing by making the purchaser liable for
the contract price, whatever happens to
the crop at later date in curing. 1t
the bill can get by the senate judiciary
committee it is in a fair way to become
law, we are told, even if it does not
stand the scrutiny of the courts later
on. Lawyers do not have much faith
on its being able to stand up, and opin-
ions are plenty that such law would
not prove of much benefit to the grow
ers if the courts should hold it valid.
II the placing of such law upon the
statute books would tend to discourage
this senseless rush to the green FIELDS
each year, it might be an unmlxed
blessing after all, until someone had
the courage to make test case OF it
in courts. Such legislation, however, is
clearly in line with other restrictive
measures which are coming fast these
progressive days upon the theory that
every act of the individual must be
be regulated by some law.

The dismantled tobacco trust seems
to be doing a fairly good business as
can be CLEANED from the annual reports
of the various concerns lately made
public. The American Tobacco Co.
shows sales exceeding 81 millions and a
net income of 105 per cent on its capi-
tai. The Leggett & Myers Co. were
able to pay per cent dividend the
latter half of the first year in business,
putting it's stock on II per cent basis.
The P. Lorillard Go. paid over half
million dollars on it's common stock
after al interest charges on other Sc
curities had been provided for. The
other subsidiaries except the Havana
American Co. made fine showing.
