TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. WIS, April II, 1914.


The balance of the 1913 tobacco crop
is moving rather slowly these days.
An occasional lot reaches delivery
points, but there is very little activity
anywhere throughout the growing dis
tricts. A few car loads have been
picked up by a Pennsylvania jobber
and shipped east for handling of late.
The warehouse help is thinning out
so that packing operations are liable to
be carried along for some weeks yet by
the larger operators. No news of any
Importance has reached us in the mar
ket for old leaf.
High taxation we hear so much about
is likely to have it's effect upon the to-
bacco industry of this state. We learn
on good authority that about 1000
cases of old leaf is scheduled to leave
the state before May 1st in order to
escape assessment made at that date
and consequent taxes, which are much
lower in eastern storage points. The
goods would otherwise remain here un-
til needed for consumption and owners
do not object to paying taxes at fair
rates, but the enormous increase in
late years has prompted the movement.
Growers have commenced to lay the
seed beds for another crop during the
week and weather conditions indicate
spring has come to stay.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 220Ocs for the week to all points
from this market. Receipts, II cars.

LANCASTER, PA, April 8, 1914.
More local packers were in the field
buying during the past week than have
been out any time this season, yet
withal it is thought that less than half
the crop has been sold, and at the rate
at which the tobacco is moving it will
be a long time-monthS = before the
growers dispose of their holdings. Had
they earlier in the season evinced the
same reasonableness as they exhibit
now, the crop long ago would have
been in the packers hands.
The packers are buying strictly on
merit, and they are certainly obliged to
keep their weather eye open on this
crop. A great deal of it, thousands of
acres, was affected by the numerous
hailfalls of last summer, some of it
just touched and much of it very badly
cut. to say nothing of that which was
ruined and plowed under. A great deal
of really excellent tobacco was more or
less damaged by hail, and it is up to
the packer to gauge pretty closely the
quality of this hail-affected goods, be-
cause some of the best of the years
crop is found among it.
Only comparatively few of the
growers have put money into the stock
of the tobacco pool, and only about
80, 900 pounds is claimed by the associa-
tion to be in its warehouse in Lancas-
ter, but the bulk of the growers coun-
tenance it with the hope that it will
boost prices. For awhile it stiffened
the growers into asking much more
than their crops were worth, but since
the local packers have contented them
selves with only buying where the fig
ures We're right, prices have dropped
away down.
1t is predicted that less tobacco will
be raised in Lancaster county this sea-
son than for many years. One big
grower said that it was his belief that

Several leaf warehouse still continue
work, with shortage of hands in some
instances, owing to the return for the
spring labors of part of the handling
force. Most of the buyers say that it
will take month yet to complete the
prcking of 1918. O. G. Lee finished this

Paris says that the announcement
confirms what has been known for
weeks in military circles-that the
Germans have lost their early superb

the allies now have more powerful and

from the French point of view is that

Berlin admits that the Germans
have evacuated Vermelles, in northern
