TOBACCO TRADE BETTER
Cigar Industry Frightening and Sales
Increase in Lancaster

Lancaster, March 16.-Two very
encouraging features developed in the
local tobacco market during the past
week. The first was Frightening up
of trade in the cigar industry and the
second was the increased sales of the
1914 crop of Lancaster county. The
cigar manufacturing industry went to
pieces fully three months ago, and
since then many of the factories, es-
pecially the smaller ones, which can
not afford to have a force of statesmen
securing the country for orders, have
barely been able to keep going. That
not few of them were operated at
all was due to the desire of the manu-
facturers to keep their force of work
men together in order that the factor.
les might be in a position to take ad-
vantage of the boom which spring was
expected to bring. AS a result of keep.
ing factories running during a long
period of depression, good many es-
Establishments have large stacks of ei-
gars on hand. One of the worst fea.
lures of the trade at present is the
difficulty of making collections. I
The activity that prevails among the
1914 crop is matter of considerable
surprise, as it was believed that this
tobacco would hang longer on the
growers hands than did that of 1918.
Dullness in the general leaf tobacco
market was not supposed to be con.
ducive to renewal of buying of new
tobacco, yet during the last week the
representatives Of number of out
side concerns, mostly Western and
New York, have been quite active in
picking up desirable crops. There has,
however, been notable drop in the
prices paid, and instead of 8 142 and
10 cents a pound paid for wrapper
goods earlier in the season, the prices
are now from to cents, with 8
cents as the prevailing price. With
more than 60 per cent. of the crop
taken up, it will not be many weeks
before the last holdings have been
taken out of tn egrowers hands, leav-
ing them free to go to their regular
spring work on the farm. 1t is because
of their desire to be relieved of the
care of their tobacco that they are
now selling it at what they consider
sacrifice prices.
