NEW YORK. Nov. Is. 1914

The buying movement in Wisconsin
seems to have about run it's course, less
than 5000 acres of tobacco having been
contracted for. The reasons that con-
troll the packers in refraining from
buying now have been thoroughly COW
cred in this column, and are we'll un-
derstood, not only by the leaf trade and
the manufacturers, but by the growers
themselves. Ohio and Pennsylvania
are the next types that will receive at
tention. Nothing has been done with
respect to these types Of tobacco thus
far, but this much is true: There is not
too much good, sound filler tobacco
available, and there is no reason to be-
lieve that holders of good filler tobacco
will have much trouble in getting fair
price. Every one is looking for bet
ter condition among the cigar factories
soon, and if this prognostication is cor
rect there is no doubt that the leaf
dealers will have good business. Every
week things take place which show up
on what small margin of supply of
raw materials the manufacturers are
operating. When business does ap-
proach normal with them, they will
have to come into the market for more
raw material. The general betterment
in financial affairs throughout the coun-
try is also counted upon to give general
business stimulus The leaf dealers
continue cheerful and prices, except in
special cases, have been maintained. =

Trading remains surprisingly active
in the leaf market for this time of the
year. The rush for Wisconsin keeps
up undiminished and it is reasonably
certain to assume that before long this
type of binder leaf will completely van
ish from the stock of the principal
packers Prices in the meanwhile are
steadily advancing, which would go to
prove that the tobacco market must be
in very healthy condition, in spite of
the long prevailing financial stringency
in our money market. It isn't there
fore the volume of business that could
cause any complaint in the leaf mar
ket, but it is the insufficiency of profits
at which grumbling such as exists is
directed. Filler types are commencing
to move faster, too. Some notable
transactions in Zimmers are reported
elsewhere. AS for the Sumatra it still
has constant call, but stocks particu-
larly of the more desirable brands are
beginning to ebb down. In the Havana
market the situation remains unchang-
ed, calm, but firm. journal.

EDGERToN, Wis, Dec. 4, 1914.
A week of ideal casing weather which
has afforded growers an opportunity to
remove as much of the crop as they
desired from the curing sheds and turn
their attention to stripping, has served
to revive the tobacco industry of the
state. For it affords the buyers a
chance for critical examination and a
more correct idea of the merits of the
crop so that trading can now be con-
Quoted on better business basis. Con-
siderable riding is being done in the
growing districts but the movement
still lacks the rush and hurry in closing
deals of other years. The aim so far
is to take over the most promising
crops, and the following sample sales
will indicate the prices being paid.

LANCASTER, PA, Nov. 25, 1914.
Lancaster county has at last had its
long hoped for rain, which broke IL
weeks drought. Predictions had been
freely made by packers that the crop
hanging in the shed could not under
such conditions cure properly. Some
of the tobacco turned yellowish color
not pleasing to the eye, but it is a
question whether or not the crop, as a
crop, was damaged by the drought
Some growers have already begun
stripping. That this is not general is
due to the fact that large percentage
of the crop has not finished curing,
though the time is past when, under
ordinary conditions, the curing should
be at an end. This proves that the
long dry spell has affected the crop, in
one way, at least The growers say it
is curing in way that will commend
it to the trade.
The crop had better fertilizers and
was more carefully tended than any
crop for some years. 1t is reasonable
to suppose that the qualities required
for cigars are there. For one thing it
has weight, which will surely be one of

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

After 'watchful waiting" the tobac-
co growers of Wisconsin have been re-
warded with a season of casing wealth
er, the like of which has seldom been
experienced. A genuine tobacco
damp has been on during the greater
part of the week = fogs and mists
mainly that permeated the further
most parts of the curing sheds and
gradually brought the proper degree of
moisture in the leaf for stripping. All
through the season mild temperature
prevailed so that growers might pro-
ceed in taking down their crop in an
orderly manner and clear out their
sheds of all the hanging leaf if they so
desired. Rarely has such an oppor-
tunity been given the growers OF this
state to take down their tobacco IN
such prime condition. It took AZ to 80
hours of damp weather before the leaf
came into the proper case because the
hanging stalks were so dry, and there
was but little danger of too high case
during the moist season. Now that the
crop is very largely out of the curing
sheds, growers can proceed with their
stripping at their leisure, though most
Of them ought to be able to complete
this work before the holiday season for
it comes at time when the farmer can
devote his entire time to preparing his
crop for market. Little danger need
be feared from heating in the piles
when the stalks are so thoroughly cured
out. 1t has been suggested, too, that
growers ought to keep that portion
harvested after the big storms separate
when stripping.

The Federal Trade Commission Act,
recently become law, seems to be as
ambiguous and controversy-breeding as
to it's meaning and scope as almost
every measure passed by this Congress.
Many inquiries have been received at
this Office for an exact definition of its
purpose and for a statement as how
''the prohibition of unfair competition"
is going to benefit the trade. But the
statute as adopted prohibits not ''un-
fair competition" but unfair methods
of competition. And as legal light,
expert in interpreting the SphinX-Gke
problems of Congress, publicly ex-
planned some time ago, ''The act SIM
ply imposes upon the Commission the
duty of enforcing the prohibition but
at the same time specifically and clear
ly places it at it's discretion to enforce
the prohibition only if and when the
Commission deems it to be to the in
terest of the public to do so. AS the
law now stands there is therefore no
prohibition of unfair competition or
even of unfair methods Of competition
until and when the executive mandate
issues in particular case to prohibit
particular act. In other words, 1.-The
law-making power over the whole sub
ject of unfair competition has been del
egated to the executive commission
with the sole limitation that the act
which it may deem advisable to pro-
hibit is within the broad field by the
term of unfair methods of competl-
tion." Another instance of executive
parternalism which is made to extend
not alone over corporations as such but
also over all private business, individ-
uals and partnerships, engaged IN IN
terstate commerce. u. S. Tobacco

With the crop now most out OF the
curing sheds and stripping we'll under
way, buyers will have their first oppor-
tunity to become acquainted with the
merits of the 1914 tobacco. They can
now make their trades with fair
knowledge of what they are to receive
for their money and business will be
conducted on a safer and saner basis.
Heretofore the tobacco was hanging so
dry in the sheds that they could only
sgdess at its qualities, except for color
and size of leaf, while now they can
gain a more definite idea of what the
probable yield of desirable binders to
be obtained from the crop as well as
soundness of leaf and the percentage
of rags, filters and B tobacco. With a
more thorough understanding the pur-
chasers of the crop may now proceed
on better business basis for the spec
ulative element in the trading will thus
be considerably eliminated. Thus we
hope greater satisfaction will result to
both the buyer and the seller.

1t is only few days now when crops
under contract will be ready for deliv-
cry and it is not improbable that some
tobacco money may yet be set afoat
for the holiday purchases and at least
quite a lot of it at tax paying time in
January. The extra help required in
stripping and preparing the crop for
market it is expected will add new
impulse to business in the tobacco sec
tions and help in thousand ways to
tide the poor people over the winter
months. The packing points can be
assured of an early opening Of the
warehouses and the employment of the
thousands that usually depend upon
this work during the packing season,
often lasting five or six months.

known as Everett Park. comprising
about ten city blocks directly opposite
the new Long Island Railroad station.
The dominant note In the architecture
Of Everett Park II the sturdy red brick
OF old England, with the white trim of
Colonial days. ana competent authori-
ties have declared the development
throughout to be of an extraordinary
degree of architectural beauty.
These houses were designed by Elec-
tus IAtchhcld and their construction
was carried on under his direct super
vision In every detail. Architecture for
January has this to say OF them:
These houses at Jamaica are perhaps
the most agreeable cottages which We
have yet seen. and 1t Is interesting to
observe that real estate operators have
come to realize that there Ia no work
too small to intrust to competent archi-
tects, and that good design has mar
ketahlc value"
The business men responsible for this
attractive colony have recognized
growing demand for homes purchas-
able on convenient terms with the at
tractiveness OF the suburbs and tho
conveniences of the city. The houses
in Everett Park are of five and six bed
rooms, one and two baths living room,
dining room, pantry, kitchen and
laundry, They are steam heated and
the interiors are finished in the high
