NEW YORK, Feb.

NEW YORK, Feb. IA, 1914.
Conditions in the leaf market appear
to be satisfying, for trading continues
without a hitch. All types of leaf re-
main in demand although scarcity of
the more desirable grades is manifest
ing itself more and more. The upper
and finer and lighter grades of the
shadegrown domestic leaf seem to have
nearly all been compromised for and
what is left will undoubtedly find a
ready market in due course of time.
For binder leaf the demand remains
unabated, while the supply is growing
tighter and tighter. The extensive
field in the filler market is also being
actively invaded into and more stocks
are changing hands now than they have
during some time past. Activity in the
Sumatra market seems to be slacken-
ing somewhat in expectation of the
coming inscriptions. The Havana mar
ket, however, remains very active as
the contradictory reports on the out
come of the new crop are stimulating
purchasers to invest in the old stock

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, Feb. 20, 1914.

EDGERTON, WIS, Feb. 20, 1914.
Favored with fine run of sleighing
this has been one of the big receiving
weeks of the season at nearly all the
delivery points of the state and the
bank accounts of the farmers have
been amazingly increased as their to-
bacco crops are turned into cash.
Hundreds of teams have crowded about
the warehouses at the market points,
while the carload shipments received
from outside localities are crowding
the storage capacity of the packers.
Buying of the unsold remnants of
the crop is also steadily progressing all
along the line making it more certain
that the balance will be pretty closely
gathered in before all orders are filled
for the cheaper end of the crop. From
IL to 13 cents have been paid for some
of the better crops of late, but the
bulk of the sales were somewhat under
these figures A few carloads of bun
die leaf have been shipped to Pennsyl-
vania points recently.
No news of Importance has developed
in the market for cured leaf. Sales
are invariably of small order nature.
Warehouse handling is being pushed
along as expeditiously as possible, full
forces of help being employed con-
tinuously.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 5OOcs for the week to all points
from this market. Since last report 35
car loads have been received for ware
house handling.

VIROQUA, WIS, Feb. II, 1914.

Daily the streets Of Viroqua are con-

is stirring scene in this town and
other delivery points.

Pennsylvania.
LANCASTER, Pa, Feb. II, 1914.

LANCASTER, PA, Feb. II, 1914.
A prominent Lancaster packer de-
clared few days ago that, judging by
what he had heard from farmers in va
rious parts of Lancaster county while
riding about looking for good 1913
crops, the acreage in tobacco in this
county next year would be very much
less than 1913, and this year was small
er than 1912.
The growers contend that the 1913
crop is much better as to quality and
it's character generally than most of
the packers are inclined to credit it
with being. While plenty of growers
declare that for every good crop, six
crops of small, poorly developed crops
will be found, others express the be-
lief that the crop will produce large
quantity of good filters, though the
leaves will not be long. A great deal
of hail-cut tobacco was of superior
growth, and much of the least cut-up
goods can be used very nicely. This
class of goods has been selling very
cheaply until recently, when prices
have stiffened. While great quantities
have been sold there is still plenty. to
be had and some of the dealers are
after it pretty sharply. Some of these
hail-cut crops, those not badly cut but
of good quality, have brought nearly as
high figure as the tobacco not touch
ed by hail. For couple of weeks buy
ing of the new crop was being carried
on pretty actively, mostly by repre-
sentatives of outside concerns, but it
has eased up considerably during the
past week. All of the goods so far
hol1oht hv anvhodV have heen on their
merits, and in no instance has any con-
cern gone into any district and made
clean sweep, as in former years, pay
ing one general price. Some of the
local dealers have been in the field, but
none of them have bought heavily for
themselves, though a few have bought
heavily for New York houses. In very
few instances has more than ten been
paid, and the prices generally have
been below ten cents.

Who Knows
Better?

Than this man who started with
|, nothing and accumulated
vast fortune. Hear what he
says:
The failure of the man
who does not save his
money is due not only to
the fact that he has no
money with which to
take advantage of the
opportunities that come
in the way of every man,
but also and particularly
to the fact that such
man is not able or fit to
avail himself of these op-
pOrtunitieS. The man
, who can not and does
not save money cannot
and will not do anything
else worth while.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

So far there has been much smaller
percentage of last seasons crop pur-
chased for stemming purposes from
growers than for several years past.
Possibly this may be accounted for in a
measure by the fact that the crop es-
capped the usual amount of storm dam
age which often reaches as high as %
per cent of the crop. Even though
frost is known to have nipped some of
the later crops, the damage does not
appear to be as great as many sup
posed, and care in stripping has re-
moved most of this class of leaf from
that offered for sale. Thus larger
percentage of the crop seems destined
to pass through the warehouses for
binder purposes than the average of
recent years. From even the cheaper
end of the crop a percentage of binder
leaf can be obtained and the balance
turned back to the stemmers. Some por-
ton of this class of tobacco is being
shipped out of the state in bundle to
be worked up in the cheap cigar dis
tricts of Pennsylvania to fill a demand
for moderate priced binder. But the
fact remains that the buyers of the
stemming concerns have purchased a
much smaller supply from growers this
season than in recent years. Some of
them, it is we'll known, had quite am
pie stocks of old leaf yet on hand cost
ing more money than is being paid for
the same clase of goods this season.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1914-02-20

1t has been several years since the
tobacco crop, in all sections, was so
generally bought up by the tobacco man
@ufacturers, dealers and for export. In
South Carolina the crop was virtually
sold in 60 days, amounting to 33, 209, :
SCI pounds, averaging $13.77 per hun
dred pounds. It must be remembered
that South Carolina has been produc-
ing tobacco for about five years that
has cut any figure in the tobacco busi-
ness. In Virginia and North Carolina
the crops of last year have been mar
keted very rapidly, and at higher aver
age prices than it has been sold for
since 1874. When it is known that the
production of cigarettes has more than
doubled in four years time it is quite
natural that the price of tobacco, es-
peclally the bright, ought to show a
marked advance. In the hurley pro-
ducing districts the crop will fall some
what below the previous year, and
prices are some lower than 1912. Indi-
cations are that the hurley crop will be
practically out of the hands of the pro-
ducers by March first. In some cigar
leaf sections the 1918 crop has all been
bought up by the large cigar manu-
facturerS and the dealers. In the New
England states it is all out of the pro-
ducers' hands. In Wisconsin the crop
is practically sold at price that was
profitable to the growers. In Ohio the
buyers in the Miami valley were slow
to inaugurate the buying movement,
owing to difference of price with the
producer, but there has been an active
movement for several weeks past in
the purchase of the crop at price
more satisfactory. In Pennsylvania
the same conditions prevailed as in
Ohio. The dealers and large cigar
manufacturers showed no disposition to
enter the field in the purchase of the
1913 crop, claiming the price asked was
beyond its value. As there was no dis
position to sell at lower figures active
buying is now going on at prices that
are acceptable to the buyer and seller.

The annual meeting Of the New York
State Tobacco Growers association was
held last week. After the routine bus
mess of the day was concluded, Presi-
dent Schenck called upon Government
Crop Technologist George w. Harris
for a speech. Mr.. Harris gave brief
account of the cooperative experiments
the government and the New York eX-
pertinent station at Geneva, N. Y,
have been conducting on the f. j..
PatchGt farm in the Cold Spring dis
trict during the past four years. The
experimental field consisted of six acres
of land divided into twelve plats of
one-half acre each, upon which the
general crops of the section, including
corn, potatoes, tobacco, wheat, oats
and clover, were grown. Tobacco was
grown upon three of the one-half acre
plats, the Havana type being used each
year When taken for experimental
purposes in 1910, the field was in timo-
thy sod, consequently all crops followed
sod, but in 1911, 1912 and 1918 one plat
of tobacco followed corn, one plat fol-
lowed potatoes and one followed clover.
The commercial fertilizer scheme for
each plat was at the rate of 1000
pounds of castor bean pomace, 400
pounds acid phosphate and 200 pounds
sulphate of potash per acre. No barn
yard manure was used. During the
past three years the yield of tobacco
on the plat following clover has been
as high as 200 pounds heavier than the
yield of plats following corn and pota-
toes. Mr.. Harris cautioned the farm
ers against using any form of CONNER
cial fertilizer which contains chlorin. as
that element is very injurious to the
burn of the tobacco, and, as this is es-
sentially cigar tobacco district, good
burn is very necessary qualification.
Mr.. Harris also spoke of the advisa-
bility of using, in 1914, tobacco seed of
some season prior to 1913, as the crop
of that season was so largely subnor-
NAL as to be of no value for breeding
purposes.
