WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. Wis, May /, 1914.

The work of gath ering in the frag-
ments of last seasons crop goes quiet
ly on, though there is considerable of
ordinary leaf still left in growers
hands that bids fair to be absorbed in
time probably amounting to a few
thousand cases all told
The warehouse work of the season
is gradually drawing to close, though
there is work in sight for few firms
for few weeks yet before all the
bundle leaf is cared for. The difficult
ty seems to be to keep full forces at
the sorting tables as warmer weather
approaches.
The seed beds for another crop have
generally been sown throughout the
growing sections and the weather con-
ditions have proven quite favorable for
an early terminating, for the young
plants have commenced to show on
many beds and plenty early enough for
this latitude.
The market for old leaf is somewhat
in the dumps and we learn of but few
transactions of any nature.
The shipments continue to be liberal
as May approaches, reaching about
1900 cases from this market to all
points since last report.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

Mention has been made of the move
ment of several thousand cases Of TO-
bacco out of the state previous to May
1st in order to escape the assessment
for next seasons taxes, to eastern
points where the taxation rates are not
so burdensome. This tobacco is the
property of non-residents of the state
on which taxes were levied a year ago
and would have remained in the Wis
consin storehouses until needed for
consumption but for steady increase of
rates they have been compelled to pay
in recent years. The ineXorable rule
laid down by our taxing authorities
that all property must be listed at full
value and the grasping policy of the
state to get every dollar taxes possible
is leading the way for non-residents to
get their property out of Wisconsin and
away from the imposition. This pol
icy, if persisted in, is likely to work a
lasting injury to the tobacco packing
points of our state and an annual loss
of million dollars or more to our cit
izens interested in the warehouse han
ding, storage, insurance, sampling,
etc. The great bulk of Wisconsin to-
bacco. is purchased by nonresident
dealers who under fair treatment
by taxing authorities would be willing
to hold their purchases in the state
until called for in consumption; but
they will not long continue to pay high
er taxes on their investments in Wis
consin than they do in other states
where they do business. When once
received from the farmers, tobacco can
easily be transported to out of state
packing points if found to be necessary,
to be handled and stored. If the Wis
consin authorities insist on present
methods they can very easily drive the
tobacco handling business out of the
state, and we earnestly hope this can
and will be prevented. A business of
this magnitude is we'll worth encourag
ing and protecting, and it is the duty
of all interested to use their best en-
deavOrs to see that this is done. The
people of this state are pretty we'll
aroused over the taxation proposition
and it is possible some things will be
righted in the next election.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Apr. 21, 1914.
The past few days have brought the
first real tobacco weather of the sea-
son. The thermometer registered as
high as eighty degrees in the shade at
midday Sunday and many growers
found it advisable to raise the sashes
temporarily, which cover their seed
beds. A warm rain fell Monday. By
the last of this week there will be mil
lions of tiny tobacco plants visible in
the seed beds.
The season is fully three weeks late.
In parts of the tobacco belt in Massa-
chusetts there was frost in the ground
last week.
There are indicationg that the New
England tobacco acreage may be larger
this year than seemed probable few
weeks ago. The prospect of big prices
for tobacco next fall, provided the crop
turns out we'll, is decidedly tempting to
many growers. The tendency to in
crease shaded tobacco acreages is gen
eral In Poquonock, Conn, the Steane
& Hartman plantation will raise 112
acres under cloth this year. Charles
Huntington will grow forty acres, H.
G.. Griswold forty-fve acres and Fred
Thrall twenty-five acres.

New YORK. April Is. 10

There is a lassitude in the market,
which were it caused by any stagna-
tion of productiveness might cause
some alarm. But all reports seem to
agree that the marketable old stock,
with but few exceptions, is low and
limited and that if there were a flush
demand for it, it could not be met with.
Hence, there is only a spontaneous ac-
tivity going on in what can be had and
no search for speculative investments.
The new Sumatra is being still much
discussed and examined. Sample bales
are being freely taken but no engage
ments yet closed for larger transac-
tions. 1t seems certain, however, that
the importations this year will fall far
short the usual average and when this
fact will have impressed itself on those
in need Of the Sumatra the movement
is then likely to become very lively

LANCASTER, PA, April 21, 1914.

LANCASTER, Pa, April 81, 1914.
The local leaf dealers say they are
doing now just about enough business
to keep Lancaster on the map, and no
more, though there is plenty of nib
bling about the 1912 packing. Though
as a matter of fact, the Lancaster
dealers have not nearly as much of that
tobacco on hand as they could desire.
If they hold fourth of the 1912 crop
they are doing we'll. And they mean
to make a little money out of that to-
bacco, if it can be done. Sixteen cents
pound would be giving them only a
small margin of profit, so it is hardly
to be wondered at that they should un-
hesitatingly turn down the offers of
outside parties who bid less.
It is probable that so per cent of the
new crop remains unsold, and nobody
remembers how many years it is since
a Lancaster county crop, so much of it,
has remained in the growers hands, as
has been the case with this 1913 tobac-
co, so late in the spring. A lot of 1912
tobacco, it is true, was not sold until
spring, because of the growers holding
out for unreasonable prices, but the
amount SO held was comparatively
small. The bulk Of those holding the
unsold part of the new crop would only
be too glad to dispose of it if they
could. 1t is going off, it is true, but
very slowly. And now the growers
are beginning to see what very great
mistake they made when they took the
advice of irresponsible parties and tried
to boost prices beyond the market
value.

Nothing more than mere routine
business has been done by any of
the houses specializing domestic CT
gar leaf The domestic shade-grown
wrappers, which have held the center
of the stage since the beginning of the
year, are still the most sought type Of
tobacco, but most of the houses have
disposed of a large portion of their
holdings, and many manufacturers
have supplied their wants. There is
also some call for binders. The work
of taking up the remaining thinner
crops is going on at high prices. Penn

It's only matter of a few days now
when Secretary of State Bryan will be
confronted with the question of read
justment of our reciprocity treaty with
Cuba. AS is we'll known, under the
present terms of the treaty, Cuba re-
ceived a drawback of 20 per cent on all
cigars and tobacco which they export
to the United States, and they also
have reduction on the rates of their
sugar, for which concessions the Unit
ed States government receives SINH
lar rebate on her products entering
Cuba. Under the terms of the re-
Gently enacted Underwood bill, the
preferential duties on Cuban sugar are
of course wiped out and any country
can send their sugar products to the
United States on the same basis as
Cuban sugar. The only advantage to
Cuba, with the exception of the duty
on Cuban tobacco, is thus lost to that
country, and it is therefore safe sur
mise that as soon as the new sugar
schedule becomes operative the Cuban
government will perforce abrogate the
reciprocal treaty, which they can do at
their pleasure. Then will arise con-
dition which will give Secretary Bryan
a lot of serious thought if he wishes to
renew the treaty and secure to the
United States the inside benefits OF the
Cuban market. The imports of Havana
cigars into the United States, as well
as the imports of Cuban tobacco, will
by no means offset the big loss of the
United States as sugar market, and
it is quite possible that the Cuban gov
ernment will put up strenuous de-
mand for a big reduction on the duty
on tobacco and Havana cigars.
