LANCASTER, PA, Jan. 10, 1914.
So far this year the leaf trade has
been very dull, partly because there is
so little old goods in the local market
to trade with. Here and there may be
found some 1911 goods, but the whole
bunch would not amount to much, and
not very much more 1912 is to be had.
The selling price of this ranges from
fourteen to sixteen cents. Any amount
of 1909 tobacco can be had at very rea-
sonable prices, bat the call for these
goods is not stirring the trade to any
very perceptible degree.
The local packers mean to have a
share of the new crop, but they do not
propose to be forced into buying it un
til it is ready to be inspected, and that
will be when it is stripped. The United
Cigar Manufacturers Co.'s agent has
been buying little, but only few
choice crops here and there. 1t is un-
derstood he wants to see what kind Of
tobacco the crop is likely to turn out
before buying any considerable amount.
If it pIeases him, then the local buy
ers will have to enter field in which
this big concern is buying. But it is
understood that ten cents has been his
limit so far. Representatives of the
big concerns do not hesitate to say that
the reason they bought up the bulk of
the 1912 goods held by the local packers
few months ago was because of the
uncertainty as to the new crop. Local
packers who have been riding the
county say there is much excellent to-
bacco, but it is to be found among
lot of poor stuff While great deal of
tobacco was hail cut, that damaged the
least is excellent, because it got rain
along with the hail, during long
drought which ruined much tobacco
that escaped hail damage Most of the
hail-cut goods has been sold around five
cents.

New ENGLAND.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Jan. 20, 1914.
Connecticut valley warehouses are
now running close to capacity. Plans
for the 1914 crop are we'll under way.
The increase in acreage will not be
large. A number of growers have the
shaded tobacco bee in their bonnets as
a results of reports concerning the
quality of the new shaded crop, and in
ferentially the big profits which await
the owners. The truth is, however,
that the number of individual growers
who can afford to raise shaded tobacco
is decidedly limited. A single poor sea-
son would be the financial undoing of
most of the planters who have any Sc
rious intentions of joining the shaded
tobacco ranks.
One Of the reasons for the present
standing of Connecticut shaded tobacco
is that the industry is in the hands of
men of unquestioned financial stability,
who in one way or another have paid
literally for their expert knowledge.
The present tendency, however, is in
the direction of even greater exclusive
ness than in the past. Raising shaded
tobacco is legitimate venture for a
man who is financially sound and who
knows the business, but for the individ-
ual whose last seasons fertilizer bill is
still unpaid, it offers few inducements.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, Wis, Jan. 80, 1914.

EDGERTON, WIS, an. 80, 1914.
A quiet but steady absorption of the
unsold remnants of the 1913 tobacco
crop seems to be going on, the better
grades for sorting and also for stemming
purposes, but the bulk of the sales
range good many points under earlier
figures. r. L. Page however sold ga
at 13&4c. Growers have been crowd
ing for delivery dates pretty hard of
late. Saturday was the big receiving
day in this market of the season so far.
Probably not far from half the crop
sold on contract has been delivered to
date.
Another casing spell this week has
given the growers still further oppor-
tunity to clear out their curing sheds
and prepare the crop for market.
Aside from the sale of few hundred
cases of '12 by local packers, the week
has not brought much news in cured
leaf
Warehouse handling is being carried
along very expeditiously. There ap-
pears to be an abundance of help to be
secured at most of the packing points
and wages apparently satisfactory.
The shipments out of storage reach
about $50 cases from this market to all
points since last report.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

Despite the fact that much has been
printed concerning the high case condi-
tion of that portion of the crop first re-
moved and stripped at the early casing,
later developments have proven that
the crop is being received with less
friction this season than almost any
other in recent years. Aside from
small percentage of the crop taken
down at the first casing spell, the bal
ance of the crop has been delivered
uniformly in as fine packing condition
as the buyers could wish for. There is
also less shed defects, such as pole rot,
shed burn, than is usually encountered,
nor more than the usual per cent of fat
stems in the later crops. Most crops,
however, are being examined and re-
ceived upon the farms before being de-
livered, as the contracts generally
called for, but the dealers inform US
that they have but very little fault to
find with the tobacco as they come to
it, and the grower almost invariably
gets the agreed price for his crop.
Doubtless one reason for the absence
of much trouble at delivery is due to
the fact that not much of the crop was
bought until the tobacco was in the
shed and partly cured. So the new law
tending to discourage field buying has
not worked much hardship as yet.

What is declared to be an attempt to
introduce Southern tobacco pooling
methods in Pennsylvania growers
ranks is causing excitement in Lancas-
ter and vicinity. A stranger, giving
his name as w. L. Kimbrough, appear
ed in Lancaster this week and, through
extensive advertisements inserted IN
the papers of the neighborhood, is of
fering to secure to all tobacco growers
higher average price for future to-
bacco crops than they have hitherto
been receiving. This movement is one
to take future crops, if possible, out OF
the hands of packers and leaf dealers,
in the event that the farmers are not
satisfied with the prices quoted by the
concerns with which they have done
business for years past. Mr.. Kim
brough has already obtained, it is said,
contracts from growers to purchase
their crops in future years at mater
tally higher prices than those which
Lancaster packers nave been paying.
The newly arrived agent has refused to
state whom he represents, or what hls
intentions are other than that he is
working solely in the best interests OF
the growers. Lancaster tobacco grow
ers are inclined to believe that Mr..
Kimbrough is not engaged in purely
philanthropic mission. 1t is said that
he is in close touch, at least, if not
actually affiliated with, interests which
have been instrumental in banding to-
gether Kentucky and Tennessee tobac-
co growers to pool their crops and sell
direct to the manufacturers in recent
years. The pooling practice in the
South has resulted in Indifferent sue
cess, some crops being disposed OF
readily at good margins of profit and
others remaining lifeless in pool for
several years after their growth with
out producing cent of revenue to
their owners. Legal difficulties be-
tween dissatisfied factions have fre-
quently resulted when crops were tied
up too long.

A correspondent to the N. Y. Leaf
writing from Janesvilie, says: The
local tobacco trade is in a suspicious
frame of mind. They want to know if
'gentlemen's agreements" are things
of the past, as many have fondly hoped,
or if, notwithstanding the present en-
state of public opinion on
matters polite and economic, they still
exist in the tobacco trade. No one can
voice more than a suspicion, but two
things stand out in this years opera
tions in Wisconsin that look as though,
in the absence of such an agreement, a
remarkable unanimity of opinion that
serves pretty much the same purpose
has been animating some of the large
operators and still continues to do so.
During the buying season it was noted
with amusement that all save three or
four of the large concerns using Wis
consin tobacco for binder purposes
stayed out of the market, allowing a
Few of the larger leaf dealers to mo-
nopolize the buying, until a given date,
upon which all Jumped into the game.
1t is now being noted that the same
unanimity of opinion seems to exist be-
tween three or four of the largest buy
ers of Wisconsin low grades. Hitherto,
when a leaf packer has been operating
heavily, buying in the fields, he has
been followed up pretty closely by
agents Of the ''stemming" companies,
who were willing to contract for his
low grades, and he has sold year after
year to practically the same people.
Now each packer finds that those to
whom he has been previously accus-
toned to sell his low grades evince no
interest in the market whatever, but
that one or two concerns with which he
has never dealt are mildly interested in
the general state of the low grade mar
ket, and that when extremely low
prices are mentioned, this interest is
instantly heightened. Packers opine,
with good reason or none at all, as the
case may be, that the various impor-
tant stemming factories have already
cast lots upon the important holdings
of Wisconsin low grades. Of course,
nobody knows, but we are suspicious
bunch out here in Wisconsin, and when
two 'coincidences" of so striking and
startling nature take place in the alb
sorption of one crop, it is interesting,
to say the least.

Who Knows
Better?

Than this man who started with
nothing and accumulated a
vast fortune. Hear what he
says:
The failure of the man
who does not save his
money is due not only to
the fact that he has no
money with which to
take advantage of the
opportunities that come
in the way of every man,
but also and particularly
to the fact that such a
man is not able or fit TO
avail himself of these Op-
pOrtunitieS. The man
who can not and does
not save money cannot
and will not do anything
else worth while.

Huerta Must Salute Flag.

Huerta Must Salute Flag.
 Washington, April 14.-Presi- dent Wilson today ordered yir- tually the entire Atlantic fleet to Mexican waters to force a public salute to the stars and stripes from the Huerta gov ernment as an apology for the arrest of American bluejackets at Tampico last Thursday.
 No ultimatum has been issu- ed, that is, no specified time has been set within which the Huer- ta government must comply, but the naval demonstration has been ordered as an evidence of the fixed determination of the United States to back up Rear Admiral Mayo's demand for a salute. Up to tonight General Huerta had not made satisfac- tory response to that demand.
 Future developments depend on Huerta himself" was the way a high administration official, close to the president, summariz- ed the situation.
 The decision to send the fleet was reached after the president and Secretary Bryan had con- ferred for an hour with John Lind, personal representative of the president in Mexico, and after a tWo-hour cabinet meet ing, during which dispatches from Charge O'Shaughnessy re- vealed that the Huerta govern ment disputed the right of A. merican bluejackets to be a. shore at Tampico and contended that it's recent public statement of apology is ample.
 ORDERS BY WIRELESS.
 Immediately after the cabin ct meeting adjourned Secretary Daniels issued his order to the Atlantic fleet.
 It will be the largest fighting force the American government has assembled for possible ac- tion, since the Spanish-Ameri- can war. Eleven great battle ships with auxiliaries carrying in all about 15,000 men, will comprise the force off Tampico.
 Everywhere, at the White House, the State Department and Navy Department, the hope is expressed that the dispatch of the fleet will not lead to serious consequences. It is predicted a. mong administration officials that Genera Huerta will satisfy the American demand and close the incident. Officials said that negotiations with the Huerta government had not ended and that the way is still open to General Huerta to make a. 
 The Navy Department sent complete instructions to Rear Admiral Badger, commander-in- chief of the Atlantic fleet, on board the Battleship Arkansas at Hampton Roads.

Committee Hears Both.


 mittee arrived at no decision Tuesday, having adjourned un- til 9 a. m. today.
 This was done to enable a sub- committee of five members ap- pointed for that purpose an. op- portunity to tabulate the returns from the various counties, par ticularly in the contest for United States Senator.
 There are two contests before the committee, that of Judge w. F. Kirby against James P. Clarke for United States Sena- tor and that of T. J. Raney against T. E. Wood for Rail- road Commissioner of the Northeastern district.
 Judge Kirby filed his formal contest Tuesday morning, al- leging fraud in Poinsett coun- { ty, and asking that he be de- clared the nominee, At the af- ternoon session Senator James r. Clarke submitted his answer.
 The answer was read by Sen- stor Clarke himself, and sign ed by his counsel, J. H. Car michael, c. T. Coleman and W. M. Lewis.
 Senator Clarke said that he courted the most thorough and prompt investigation of all al- legations of fraud, but said that II the committee decided that it could open the question of al- legged fraudulent votes in Poin- sett county, he should be given an opportunity to file a supple mentary answer setting forth al- legged irregularities in other counties where the results as an- nounced are not favorable to him.
 Judge Kirby declared that he would throw no obstacle in the way of a complete and thorough investigation, in fact that he is anxious for the books to be O. pened everywhere, that all pos-. sible light might be thrown upon the election. But he nor his counsel had yet been able to get a view of the poll-books, tally sheets and ballots in the Poin- sett county election, and he thought the issue would never be settled until these had been examined that the truth might be known.
 Senator Clarke, while he made no charges or irregularity, said that a casual examination had revealed the fact that in Little River county 413 votes had been cast more than there are poll tax receipts reported, in Ouachi- ta over 300, in Nevada over 400, and similar conditions exist in other counties. If Poinsett county is to be opened on that question, he insists that the same course should be pursued in other counties.
 There was a preliminary vote test vote in the committee on the selection of a member to take the place of w. H. Rector, formerly of Fort Smith, now of Little Rock. He nominated Vim cent Miles of Fort Smith, a Clarke man, J. D. Head of Mil Ter county, nominated Joe M. | Johnson, of Ashdown, a Kirby man, and Miles was elected by a vote of 15 to 10.
 The subcommittee to tabulate 1 the returns are, J. H. Parker of | Ouachita, Vincent Miles of | Fort Smith, June Wooten of Pu- laski, W. c. Hutton, the secre- tary, and w. F. Coleman of Jef- ferson.
