WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. Wis, Oct. %, 1914.


Fine Indian summer weather has sue
ceeded full week of almost continual
rains that may have left its impress
upon the hanging crops in the sheds.
The long season of wet weather is
known to have caused some mold to
appear on the stems and possibly stem
rot when the tobacco was entirely
cured, but to what extent these de-
fects will figure remains yet to be
seen. The we'll protected curing sheds
may have escaped altogether, and it is
possible the mold will disappear with
drying weather. The warm days since
have certainly been all that could be
desired to complete the curing of the
crop.
Matters are extremely quiet regard
ing the buying movement and to all
outside appearances there is no disposi-
tion to revive it though it would be an
districts.
Aside from a sale of a 200cs lot of
1914 by local firm to a manufacturer
no news of cured leaf of Importance
has reached US. Samples of Wisconsin
1913 however are we'll received in the
eastern markets.
The shipments out of storage reach
only about 200 cases to all points since
last report.

The continued drought is having
it's effect on the tobacco now hanging
in the sheds. Instead of curing it is
driving, and reports from all sections
saw that instead of coloring nicely,
much of it is turning yellowish tint
not at all satisfactory. Some of the
more knowing growers obtained con-
siderable moisture by the simple eXpe-
dient of keeping their sheds closed dur
ing the day and opening them up wide
at night.
Up to the present time only Havana
Seed has been sold, and not a great
deal of it, not enough to establish a
price. though it looks as though this
tobacco, which was cut early and has
cured fairly we'll, will bring from 16 to
18 cents at least.
The packers are busy now preparing
their 1913 packing for the buyers they
hope and expect to find, though just at
the present time buyers are not much
in evidence. If we say trade is fiat, it
is not meant that there is no trade. He
must be an unfortunate packer, indeed,
who has no sales at all, but at best the
sales are small to any one purchaser.
It has been matter of wonder where
the smaller manufacturers got the
goods for their cigars, because all were
operating their factories, and it takes
tobacco to make cigars. The explana-
ton is to be found in the small pur-
chases which go to make up the busi
ness of the local packers. The big fac
tories have their own packings on hand,
so they do not figure among the pack
ers' customers, and the latter are
therefore forced to content themselves
with jobbing trade.

NEW YORK. Oct. IA. 1914

Wisconsin continues the center of ac-
tive interest in domestic cigar leaf to-
bacco and while 90 sales have been re-
ported this week that equal those men
toned in last week S letter, the market
has been visited by the manufacturers
and considerable business has been
done.> Two or more of the houses
prominent in handling Wisconsin have
not yet finished sampling, and for some
time to come it is believed that Wis
consin will continue to hold the center
of the stage. Pennsylvania has been
sampled but the manufacturing trade
as yet has not interested itself in this
type.-Leaf.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Oct. 13, 1914.
The Connecticut valley situation is
practically unchanged. Pole-sweat dan
ger is now practically passed and
damp is needed to expedite the taking
down of cured tobacco. Early indica-
tiods are that all strains of the new
crop shaded, Broadleaf and Havana
Seed-will be of high quality. Colors
and general condition after coming out
of the sweat are of course problemati-
cal, but it is certain that some mighty
good tobacco is going into the sweat
within few weeks, and it is reason
able to expect the outcome will be
highly desirable topacco from the man
ufacturers' standpoint. The marketing
of the new crop drags along unevent-
fully.

!. NOTE BOOK SKETCHES .

The war tax bill, as it passed the
senate and will doubtless become law,
fixes the following special annual taxes
on tobacco dealers: Dealers in leaf to-
bacco whose annual sales do not exceed
fifty thousand pounds shall each pay
Sc. Dealers in leaf tobacco whose an
nual sales exceed fifty thousand and do
not exceed one hundred thousand pounds
shall pay $12, and if their annual sales
exceed one hundred thousand pounds
shall pay $24; provided, that dealers in
leaf tobacco whose annual sales do not
exceed one thousand pounds shall be
exempt from the tax herein imposed
on dealers in leaf tobacco. Dealers in
tobacco, not specially provided for in
this section, shall each pay $3.50 for
each store, shop, or other place in
which tobacco in any form is sold.

The final report on the cigar leaf to-
bacco crop of 1914, according to the
correspondents of Orange Judd Farmer
and careful following of the crop
since it's transplanting, shows that this
years harvest approximates 533, 900
cases of $50 pounds each, or liberal
increase over that of last year and a
very slight falling off from the pro-
duction of 1912. Ohio shows an in.
crease in output; Wisconsin and Penn
sylvania about hold their own; New
England and New York show an in
/ crease; the South slight increase.

ACREAGE OF CIGAR LEAF CROPS.

Persons who have digested the re-
cent report of the special census COM
mittee of tobacco experts say that it's
recommendations are along the line of
the provisions of the Helm bill to
widen the scope of the census tobacco
reports. The experts suggested that
these reports should include statistics
of sales, exports, imports, crops, con-
sumption, ETC., as we'll as leaf stocks
on hand The Helm bill provides that
these subjects shall be covered. It is
stated, however, that it would be i'm
practicable to cover consumption sta
tistics without the expenditure of much
time and money except through the in
ternal revenue service, which reports
annually upon production and consump-
tion of manufactured tobacco in vari
Gus forms. These reports are always
about year old, however, the figures
for the calendar year 1913 being given
in the internal revenue commissioner S
report, which will be issued late this
fall. 1t is not seen how such statistics
of that age can be of great value to to-
bacco growers, which was the purpose
behind the enactment of the original
Cantrill bill.
While Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo and other high administrative Of
ficials say that legislation for further
relief of the tobacco and cotton grow
ers through the medium of large
bond issue, deposits of government
funds, or issuance of floods of paper
currency, is undesirable as we'll as un-
| necessary, efforts continue at the cap
| ltol to obtain the enactment of such
legislation. Representative Henry of
Texas is the leader of the movement.
He has introduced bill providing that
the secretary of the treasury shall de-
posit in national and state banks in to-
| bacco and cotton producing states $3.50,
600, 900, to be loaned by the banks to
producers of cotton and tobacco at
per cent interest. 1t is provided that
the fund shall be apportioned among
the several states according to the
amounts of tobacco and cotton they
produce.
The report of the Bureau of Insular
Affairs of the War Department shows
that the exports of Porto Rico during
the fiscal year ending June 80 last in
cluded S5, 597, 276 worth of cigars, COM
pared with s5, 800, 686 worth the previ-
Gus fiscal year. The exports of the
Philippine Islands during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1913, included 20,060,
900 pounds of leaf tobacco, valued at
So, O05, 667. A little less than $4,000
pounds of this, of the high grade to-
bacco, came to the United States. Dur
ing the six months, July-December,
1913, leaf tobacco exports from the
Philippines aggregated 16,002, 600 lbs,
valued at Si,064, 900, of which little
over 5000 pounds came to this country:
Of cigars, the Philippines exported
207, 1896, 900, valued at So, 356, 748, in the
fiscal year 1913, the United States get
ting 96, 432, 900, worth 81, ,098, 900, and
during the six months of the calendar
year 1913 the Islands exported 80, 683,
900 cigars, valued at S1,260, 900, of
which the United States received 25,
G65, 600 cigars, valued at $616, 900.

more philosophically inclined agreed
that Boston was lucky in having the
Giants lose on the same day. The
defeat yesterday will not stem the
Braves fighting spirit. They really
made a wonderful showing with a
young pitcher in the box.
Perhaps the most improved ball
player in the entire ranks of the
Boston Club Is Butch Schmidt, for
mer Oriole and Hustler. He used to
seem unwieldy in the International
League because of his bulk. Now he
has imbibed that Stallings spirit and
jumps around like two-year-old.
Mann, the former Buffalo outfielder,
is another who has developed won-
derfully under Stallings's tutelage.
In the International League he never
looked like wonder, but he is now
touted as the best outfielder In Stall
ings's rank by ball players.

PLENTY OF ACTION
EXPECTED TONIGHT
Tandem-Paced Match Appears
Promising from Competitive
Point of View.
PICK-UPS WILL BE FAST

The tandem paced match at the
velodrome tonight In which Frank
Kramer, Walter Rutt, Cesar Moretti
and ALI Goullet, will be the starters,
looks very promising from competi-
tive point of view. It is something
new in the line of races, for each rider
will have three tandem teams In each
heat and this number of teams in two
and three mile races will make Ii
very interesting. There will have to
be some lightning pickups and there
may be some mixups. On his fine
showing at the Velodrome last Sum-
day, when he beat Kramer and Rutt
in a championship race, Moretti is
picked as the probable winner. But
the railbirds. who play form and past
performances, like Rutt and Goullet
better than the Italian entry. The
German and the Australian are bet
ter in hard races and this match Is
sure to be hard, so the railbirds may
be right.

Two Stakes for TrOtters
on Days Card at Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH. Aug. 1.-two stake
races are on the program for the
grand circuit races at the Brunots
island track today, marking one Of
the most attractive of the weeks set
of races. The Pennsylvania $4,000
stake for 2:10 trotters, and the $4,000
keystone stake for three-year-
trotters, are the big features. Other
races are the 2:19 trotting and the
, 2:09 pace. .
The last race, the PIG trot, yester-
day. went six heats before Farmer
Gentry proved his superiority over
Hazel Laing.
The race completely overshadowed
the feature, the Homewood stake, for
baby trotters, which was won by
Native Spirit in straight heats.

The fans can expect something
from Kramer in this race. The vet>
eran is feeling very clipper since he
sacked the national championship for
the fourteenth time and he will go in
the match tonight with that race the
only thing on his mind. He will not
be saving anything for future cham
pionships. Moretti may be the favor
lite and Rutt and Goullet may be the
best in this kind of a race, but old
Steve Kramer is the lone best bet"
There is one thing certain, Kramer
will try to win in straight heats, for
the third heat, If a third heat is
necessary, will be at five miles and
