LANCASTER TOBACCO TRADE
VIRTUALLY AT STANDSTlLL
Cigar Industry Crippled and Devel-
opment of Crop Retarded.

LANCASTER, Pa, Nov 12.-The to-
bacco trade in Lancaster County is prac-
tcally at a standstill, with a new crop
said to be one of the finest ever grown
in the hands OF the farmers. General dull
ness in business has affected the cigar
and tobacco trade, and consequently 1t
has an effect on the local situation. The
new crop has passed through the curing
stage nicely and as soon as the damp
weather sets in 1t will be taken from the
poles and stripped. The dry weather has
greatly retarded operations, ard unless
long rainy spell should come quickly the
farmers will lose considerable money.
Up to the present time there has been
no buying movement The farmers are
inclined to hold for big price. but tho
condition OF the market does not warrant
the packers in paying fancy prices. In
| another month the farmers will be able
| to get a line on the market and regulate
| prices accordingly.
Tho first of the year is the time for a
| general movement of the great tobacco
| crop, and II buying operations do not be-
| gin then 1t may prove serious to the
| farmers, thousands of whom are de-
pendent upon the income from tobacco
| growing.
