MAKE CANVAS TO
SECURE TIONS

In order to adequately take care of
the large crowd which is expected to
attend the athletic meeting in Pine
Bluff April 80, May 1 and 2, commit
tee from the Young Mems Progressive
League has been appointed to make a
canvas of residences, to obtain the
names and addresses of those who can
accommodate visitors.
With crowd of $500 persons eX-
pected, it is realized that the task of
caring for them will be heavy and
even with the increased hotel facili-
ties, Pine Bluff will have to see to it
that many residences are open for
guests ON this occasion. Wilbur Orto
is chairman of the committee and it
is believed that a sufficient list will
be obtained in the course of the next
two or three days.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. WIS, Dec. 25, 1914.

EDGERToN, WIS, Dec. 25, 1914.
The approaching holiday coupled
with zero weather have conspired to
limit business in tobacco circles. There
has been little or no riding in country
districts during the week, while the
cold weather has caused a suspension
of stripping on the farms to great
measure.
The largest sale of the new crop
made so far this season is that of Ole
T. Olson of Cottage Grove, who con-
tracted for 45 acres grown on four
farms to the Eisenlohr firm at top
prices. A few scattering lots have
been sold of late, but there is no or
ganized effort to renew the buying
movement visable.
The market for old leaf either with
local packers or in eastern centers is
under the stress of the holiday and in
ventory season, when little trading is
expected.
There will not be much handling of
the new crop done until the new year
is we'll under way.
The shipments out of storage reach
500cs from this market to all points
since last report.

LANCASTER, Pa, Dec. 16, !

LANCASTER, Pa, Dec. 16, 1914.
The middle of December and not a
dozen crops of the 1914 tobacco crop of
Lancaster county sold! Very little of
the new tobacco has yet been stripped.
The rainy spell, so much longed for,
came last week, but cold weather
came, too, and the combination was not
good for stripping; but the tobacco has
been dampened and will be damp
enough for the growers whenever other
conditions are favorable. There will
be no general stripping until after the
HOLIDAYS. The growers are complain
ing pretty loudly that the packers are
not bothering even about coming to see
them lately.
The question of price is one that is
interesting packers and growers, but
the latter most, because the packers
are not ready to buy yet. And most
of the local men will not be ready to
buv until away in the new year, after
they have raised more money by the
sale of their old goods. Nobody ex
meets trade now until after the Christ
mas holidays.
The price question will, of course,
adjust itself when the buying time
comes, but it is no secret that the
prices of crops already sold ranged
from seven to ten cents.
The packers are all ready with their
1913 packing, but inquiries about it are
not coming in as fast as could be de-
sired. The holders of these goods have
full faith in their quality, however, and
believe that when the general market
once takes bracer these goods will be
greatly in demand. Outside of these
goods not very great amount of old
goods are held by our packers, except
the 1909, and they are depended upon
for procuring the cash that will enable
the packer to lay in what he wants of
the 1914 crop.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19, 1914.

NEW 4 OA$AA1 Nv AO' 49, -
But two weeks from the close of the
year, the market does not show much
of a relaxation in its activity. All
available types remain in demand.
Transactions continue in Sumatra, do
nestle shade-grown leaf, Wisconsin
and in all varieties of filler types. The
new Zimmers would probably command
a quicker investment if its price had
not reached nearly the quarter limit.
The crop is considered one of the best
in late years, but it was bought at high
prices from the farmers aud the cost
of modern preparations to make it
marketable has risen enormously. There
is no filler type that is made in its
packing so presentable, graded and
cleaned so thoroughly as the Zimmers,
hence the rise in it's value would seem
to be but the corresponding corelary.
In the Havana market the reports of
extraordinary heavy buyings in Cuba
by both American leaf importers and
cigar manufacturers cannot fail to stir
up some animation. For the doings of
the leaf market in Cuba must cast it's
reflex ultimately also on the American
market. Journal

NEW YoRK. Dec. Is, 1914.

With the approach of the holidays
the market has taken turn that is in
keeping with the season. Transactions
are few and the factories do not ap-
pear to care to enlarge their commit
lnents for this year, and such business
as is done is billed for next month.
Every one, however, is preparing for
the coming year, with the expectation
of a much better business than 1914
has shown.
All signs point to the fact that in one
department, at least, the new year will
start with rush. The producers of
shade-grown tobacco, both of the Geor
gia-Florida and New Englanr types,
are getting in shape to show their to-
bacco early in January. Type samples
that have arrived indicate that a very
desirable type of tobacco has been
grown The expectations are that the
first three months of the year will see
most of this go into the manufacturers
hands. Last year there was big bus
mess in shade-grown early in the year,
and since that time the producers have
about cleaned out all their stocks. 1t
is not believed that there is much OF
this tobacco remaining in the hands of
the manufacturers. While this year
has not witnessed a normal cigar pro-
duction, the decrease is so slight that,
to all intents and purposes, the manu-
facturers used as much raw material as
they did last year, and the growth in
the production of cigars wrapped with
shade-grown has been large. Leaf.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES


Not in recent years has so large
portion of a tobacco crop renamed un-
sold as will be found in growers hands
when new year is ushered IN. At
most the first rush of the buying move
ment has not taken over more than
5, 900 acres of a crop estimated to run
nearly 10000 acres of Wisconsin leaf.
1t is only small per cent of a total of
last years production that is now under
contract and buyers are mostly called
out of the field at present. Business
conditions in the tobacco trade are not
at the best and yet statistics show that
the manufactured product shows no
material decline for the past year and
it normal trade is to continue there
is no overproduction of binder leaf.
While on the contrary, with the pres
ent crop running so largely to low
grades. there is every reason to be-
lieve Wisconsin binders likely to come
on the market will fall considerably
short of the usual supply. Cigar man
ufacturers claim that prices of raw
leaf are too high and are facing seri-
ous problem to make both ends meet if
they continue. Whether such claim
is true or not, it is almost evident that
if Wisconsin binders could be furnished
them at lower figure much broader
market for our tobacco could be opened
up. What has greatly added to the
cost of cured stock in recent years IS
the damage which packers have sus-
tanned in the sweating of the goods and
in many cases have been unable to re-
coup their losses by advancing the
price of the sound portion. Right here,
too, may be one reason why buyers are
not so anxious as usual to contract for
their usual supply until they can dem
onstrate whether the crop will come
| Through the cure sound or not. Sam
pie lots put through forced sweat
will go far toward settling this point
| within a few weeks Packers cannot
| soon forget the burned fingers nor be
blamed if they are cautious about re-
peating the unsatisfactory experience
of recent years. These are matters
| which the growers probably know little
/ about, and care less, but they certainly
have bearing upon the market which
the farmer may have to reckon with
eventually.

The prominence given to tobacco II
the great conflict in Europe, as the one
Joy for millions of men; the countless
Christmas presents of tobacco being
sent to the soldiers of all nations by
their families and friends at home,
have made Christmas gifts of tobacco
here more popular than ever before.
The war has shown thousands of peo-
pie that tobacco is the one thing man
prizes above anything else, and if he
can enjoy it amid the rigors of life in
the trenches, it will give him much
greater enjoyment before his peaceful
hearth on Christmas morning. The
value of tobacco on active service IS
now so we'll established by military au-
thorities that today one sees the Brit
ish government doing what it had
never done before, supplying free to-
bacco to all the troops, and in France
the factories Of the Reggie are working
at full pressure SO that the French sol
der shall not lack smoking materials.
Tobacco has often proved more than a
panacea to the victims of war; it has
been source Of courage and inspira-
ton. At Saarbrucl,en, in 1870, the
Brunswick Hussars galloped, cigars in
mouth, amid hail of bullets into
mass of French troops. The Uhlans in
their advance movements invariably
carried pipes in their mouths, substan-
tial, capacious pipes, large enough to
hold an ounce of the weed. And when
ever the conquering troops entered
surrendered city they at once claimed,
not money nor food, but tobacco. The
mayor of each town was directed to
find cigars for everybody before any
thing else was done.
Consul General Michael J. Hendrick,
writing from Christania the past month,
says that from figures gathered for his
consulate it appears that the imports
of tobacco at Christiania last year to-
tailed 3,158, ,488 pounds, of which the
United States supplied $3.50, 864 pounds,
Germany 972, 719. the Netherlands 1885,
397, United Kingdom lis, ,826, France
2,6S2. There are no JoDDerS IN lear To-
bacco in Norway. The largest manu-
facturers here send their Norwegian
representatives either to the pianta-
tionS or to the centers where tobacco
is sold to obtain supplies for their re-
spective factories. However, the bulk
of the trade is conducted through local
import agents, who call regularly on
purchasers throughout Norway. Such
agents sell only to responsible firms,
they being in position to know the
financial standing of customers at all
times. It would seem that American
growers could best build up trade
with this market by appointing an
agent in Christiania to represent them
here. An attempt to establish a trade
with local manufacturers by direct cor
respondence would probably meet with
little success.
