LANCASTER, PA, Sept. 9, 1914.
While the local dealers report trade
dull for the past week, they tell you in
the same breath that indications are
for Improvement in the near future.
Packers are not forcing their goods,
as they are inclined to believe that bet
ter prices will prevail month or so
from now than at the present time.
The 1913 packing is rapidly rounding
into shape for trading, and there is
every reason to believe it will turn out
to be desirable goods. Certainly it is
very free from black rot and other
things that might lessen its value, the
percentage being much below the av-
erage.
The local packers want, and will
have, big slice of the new crop which
is expected to be the banner crop for
some years. A streak of cold weather
and too much rain held the crop back
some, else great deal more would be
cut than has already fallen under the
knife, so considerable tobacco may yet
be standing by the early part of Octo-
Der. The growers are certainly show
ing their nerve this year, most of them
appearing determined to hold off cut
ting until the crop is thoroughly ripe.
Considerable criticism has lately been
made of the practice of great numbers
of growers having suckers on their
plants. Of course, these will be brok-
en- off before the plants are cut, but
they bleed them and the plant loses a
certain quality along with the sap.
That the crop will be great one none
can doubt, and there will be an unusual

The leaf market felt greatly relieved
and grateful at the Ways and Means
committees action in leaving the to-
bacco products out of their new tax
measure. For any addition to the cost
of production of cigars would have
caused an attempt to make somebody
pay for it and the first one to feel his
grudge on that account would have
been the leaf men. This would have
been more inopportune at this time be-
cause the market has been rallying in
Trading has been taking on a very
brisk tone as manufacturers are COM
mencing to supply themselves in ad-
vance of the increased holiday business.
The volume of trade therefore has been
more than normal. All types sharing
in it and particularly the wrapper
types. The demand for Sumatra is in
creasing steadily. And if the war
should extend into the new year, a
scarcity of that type is bound to be-
come more than perceptible. For what
ever supply the manufacturers may
have on hand there is not enough stock
in the hands of importers for another
years supply. A rise in prices there
fore is bound to come. The more so as
the cost of freightage has been in
creased, too. Only in the Havana mar
ket the movement is slackening as the
situation has not settled itself suhic-
iently to guage its true inwarndess in
regard to the demand and value of the
new crop. The reports from Havana
are not very encouraging to brisk and
swift movement of the new crop But
the demands for the holiday trade are
likely to stir up business in the Havana

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EpGERToN. Wis. Sept. Is. 1914.

The cool weather during the early
part of September has so delayed the
ripening of the tobacco crop that the
harvest is still under way and is likely
to last for week or ten days yet be-
fore all is secured An enormous rain
fall on Monday with a precipitation of
over six inches has flooded great
many fields of standing leaf doing
more or less damage. In localities the
storm assumed the nature of tornado
and Is to 25 sheds filled with new to-
bacco were destroyed in the vicinity of
Cambridge
Warm weather following is proving
a help in maturing the late tobacco as
well as assist in curing the shielded to-
bacco. Some tobacco undoubtedly has
been cut too green during the cool
weather when frost signals were sent
out, but danger from this source seems
over for the present.
Quite little. of the new crop has
been contracted for in the Orfordville
and Footville sections by GAINESVILLE
dealers mainly at prices ranging from
II to IA cents and even better for a
few choice selections, but the large
operators have not as yet been drawn
into the DEAL
The cured leaf markets present no
new features nor are samples of last
seasons packings yet ready for in
spection.
Shipments out of storage reach less
than 300 cases from this market since
last repart.

Rapid progress has been made in

bacco crop the past week and the uncut
acreage is greatly reduced. Growers
who could prevail on their employees
to labor worked on Labor day. There
has been no serious interruption by
rain in the past ten days. Growers now
fear frost more than hail The first
touch of fallw in the air today, but
the drop in temperature was hardly
sufficient to cause alarm. BY another

harvested. Good curing weather has

. NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The prospects for an early movement
of the 1914 tobacco crop are nowhere
nearly as bright as other recent years
at this date. Aside from the European
war, which of itself is great disturb
ing. element to business, both foreign
and domestic, the present financial con-
ditions are effecting business of every
nature. Even the large operators in
Wisconsin tobacco are large borrowers
of money at certain times of the year
and at time Of high interest rates
and a disposition of banks to curtail
loans even to their best customers,
large concerns hesitate about expand
ing credits or engaging in new enter
prises. A slowing down of all business
has been quite noticeable the past year
and when the selling end of manu-
facturer shows falling off the natural
tendency is not to lay in large stocks
in advance of immediate needs. Under
such conditions therefore it can hardly
be expected that the eastern de aler
who generally absorb the greater part
of the Wisconsin tobacco crop will be
in any hurry to take over the present
crop, nor engage in any wild scramble
to secure it.

The welcome news flashed this week
from Washington that the Democrats
of the Ways anC Means committee have
agreed not to put an additional war tax
on tobacco products and that the short
age in the treasury receipts from c.s
toms will have to be made up from
other sources of taxation, chiefly from
soeer, domestic wines and freight in
transit If the so-called war revenue
measure is introduced in this shape by
Chairman Underwood, it is sure to pass
the House and to accomplish an act of
justice to the trade in genuinely
economic sense. For to place an addi-
tional tax on tobacco products would
indeed mean an additional tax burden
on the poorer classes. The only advo-
Gates of an additional tobacco tax ap-
pear to be our angliciZed free trade
papers whose aim has ever been to
give free admittance to foreign pro-
ducts by smashing the protective tariff
on our home industries. The prosperity
of our tobacco industries, still due to
protective tariff rates is therefore an
eyesore to these American Cobdenites
and as long as they have not yet OBJ
tanned their aim Of having the domes-
tic tobacco industry destroyed by the
removal of the protective. duties they
try to obtain it indirectly by advocat-
ing a consumption restricting higher

The following information relative to
the usefulness of tobacco stems and
stalks as valuable fertilizers has just
been issued by the United States de-
partment of agriculture: Should the
demand of Europe for American tobac-
co stems cease these stems, which con-
tain large quantities of plant food, es-
peclally potash, may be used to good
advantage by the American grower of
tobacco as fertilizer. Soil fertilized by
these stems secured from the cigar
and tobacco factories and stemmeries
will produce leaf tobacco of better
burning qualities and texture. Tobac-
co stems as fertilizer should be applied
in smaller quantities than manure, be-
cause they contain larger quantities of
the constituents which feed the plant,
according to the department tobacco
specialists. Two tons per acre of ''seed
stems (stems from cigar factories) or
two and one-half tons of Kentucky
stems" stems from the tobacco fac
tories and Stemmeries) are known to
give good results in New England, and,
so far as available, these stems will
undoubtedly furnish a very satisfactory
source of potash, as we'll as other plant
siderable quantities of tobacco stems
have long been exported to Germany
and other parts of Europe, where they
are often used in the manufacture of
low-grade smoking tobacco and as
source of nicotine. Tobacco stalks
which are not removed from the farm
under prevailing methods are not al
ways used TO the best advantage as a
fertilizer. Like the stems, they con-
tain considerable quantities of valuable
plant food Though not so much) and
may be used freely as fertilizer for
tobacco and other crops. They may be
profitably used to improve the hay lot
by simply spreading the stalks over the
land in the fall, or they may be plowed
under at the same season for cultivated
crops such as cotton, tobacco, etc. The
practice of piling tobacco stalks in
heaps and leaving then exposed to- the
weather means waste of valuable
material that might be returned to the
soil. The practice of burning them is
also wasteful unless they are infected
with such serious disease as the Gran
vile wilt.

AS the sampling proceeds packers
are learning to beware of growers
who harvest green tobacco, as it in
yariably turns white in the curing.
They can also be wary Of the grower
who permits suckers to grow and bios
som, which robs the leaf of the sus-
tenance so necessary for it's keeping
qualities. These two causes alone are
responsible for most of the damage
encountered when sampling.

WHY ENGINES WHISTLE.
Town Mayor Cannot Help Those Out
Who object to Noises.

Does the whistling of the trains
annoy you? The noise has evidently
annoyed some one because complaint
has been made to the mayor on ac-
count of the whistling of engines and
the ringing of bells in the city lin
its. The mayor looked into the mat
ter and he finds that ever so often
the engineers of railways are caution
ed to observe the statutes on the
whistling of locomotives. Engineer
D. A. Sweet has letter under date
of September 3 which quotes the
Oklahoma law which is as follows:
Sec 1887 Bells and whistles. A
bell Of at least thirty pounds weight,
or steam whistle, shall be placed
on each locomotive engine and shall
be rung or whistled at the distance
of at least eighty (S0) rods from
the place where the said railroad
shall cross any other road or street,
and be kept ringing or whistling un-
til it shall have crossed said road
or street, under a penalty of $50 for
every neglect, to be paid by the cor
poration owning the railroad, one
half thereof to 90 to the informer and
the other half to this state, and also
be liable for all damages which shall
be sustained by any person by reason
of such neglect"
Sec 2SSS. Failure to ring bell OF
locomotive. Every person in charge
as engineer of a locomotive engine
who omits to cause a bell to be rung
or a steam whistle to sound at the
distance of at least eighty 500 rods
from the place where the track
crosses on the same level, any trav-
eIed public way, is punishable by a
fine not exceeding fifty dollars $500
or by Imprisonment in the county
Jail not exceeding sixty days"
It will be observed that one-halt
the fine goes to the informant and
Mr. Sweet says at one crossing near
here a good citizens lies in wait to
catch sleeping engineer so he can
file information against him. So it
becomes necessary in order to stop
the whistling to change the state
laws which requqire them to be whis
tied

Againt visit in the future is prom

cording to William e. Haines, con-

again, there viii come the Sels-Floto
Circus. but new-again the arenic acts
the equestriennes, the lavish display
but all new. For the Sells-Floto Circus
this year is new in every detail
Not only is there a new program,
greater than ever before, but new per-

that goes to make up performance
that is gratifying in its entirely.
And not only will the Sells-FlotoClr-
Gus be new in these things when II
comes to this city Tuesday, Oct. ., but
it will be new also in its personnel.
For now, let it be known, the Sells

Bill himself, his retinue of ropers and
riders and cowboys and Indians, eX-
ponents OF the frontier life that is
gone. and the depictOrs of the life OF
the plains as it is today.
In addition to the circus acts which
are newer and greater than ever be-
fore Buffalo Bill will present in the
performance a spectacle that is not
only new but that presents the life
of the plains from new angle. War
path" it is called and it displays the
progress of civilization from the time
of the frontier to the present day.
And as an honor to this city, when
the two-mile long parade of the Sells

of this city on the day of the per-

by Col w. F. Cody C'Buffalo Bill)
himself. Following the parade the IA
nous scout intends to hold recep-
ton for children at the show grounds.
And as regards proof that the cir
Gus this year is new in every detail,
the parade itself is perhaps the best
indication of that. Every cage Will be
open, showing the animals, the actors;
the 800 horses will be there: Berni' S
Giant Serenadium, the Vocalina, a new
invention in the world of music; the
nine bands will all be playing; the

From time to time in the last few
years various men and women OF

Usually these plans have failed, for
