NEW YORK, Aug. Z, 1915.


Midsummer lethargy has spread over
our leaf market. AS pointed out last
week, the only activity that is await
ing a revival is put off on account of
the unreadiness of the sampling of the
Connecticut Broadleaf. In week or
so. however, packers of that type eX-
pect to be in a position to oblige their
customers. The demand for Sumatra
and Shadegrown is in the meantime re-
served for immediate needs. In the
Havana market the stiffening of old
prices is perceptible as predicted in
these columns.
Continuance of the increased activity
that has been evident in cigar circles
for the past sixty days marks the open
ing of August. The appearance OF July
output figures for various districts
throughout the country will be eagerly
awaited, for most manufacturers are
dead sure that there is at least going
to be less of decrease than there was
last July. In New York, where the
national situation is faithfully mirrored
because of the diversity of interests
represented, business is good. Some
manufacturers, seizing upon July as a
naturally dull month in which they
might move their factories without
much interruption to operations, found
that it was almost as difficult to move
in July as in the busiest month of the
wear, and now their new establishments
are humming with the income of or
ders and the outgo of deliveries.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Aug. 3, 1915.
A Is per cent crop. This is the out
side figure of the 1915 New England to-
bacco yield. Thousands of acres OF
Connecticut valley tobacco have been
affected by the excessive rain, which
press dispatches report to be: '"The
nearest approach in this section to a
deluge since the government began
making weather observations in this
section of the country A years ago.
Here and there reports are heard thai
the crop is outgrowing the yellow
streak, but the writer after extensive
observation doubts it. Moreover there
is no let up in the frequent heavy
rains. At least an inch of water fel
in most parts of the Valley in the first
two DAYS of our current month. The
soil is saturated and in parts Of the
Valley water has stood in tobacco fields
for days at time.
Shaded tobacco would have done bet
ter with less rain Whether the shaded
crop will suffer seriously from heavy
rains remains to be seen. Printing OF
shaded tobacco is under full headway
and temporary employment is provided
for hundreds of men and women. The
American Sumatra Tobacco Co. alone

plantations the first priming mas been

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN, WIS.,, Aug. 13, 1915.
Almost week of excellent weather
co onditions has improved the prospects
of the tobacco crop amazingly, which
seems to be trying to catch up some of
its lost standing Scarcely any of the
crop, however, is within three weeks
of the harvest, while more of it needs
a month or six weeks to perfect it and
only a late fall will see it through.
Plenty of warm weather from this on
is also imperative if we get an average
crop. A dozen or such a matter of hail
losses have been adjusted. during the
week in sections quite widely scattered,
indicating that the season for this dan
ger is not yet over.
The market for old leaf shows no
particular revival as yet and manufac-
turers are said to be working on hand
to mouth plan rather than laying in
stocks for future needs and all waiting
the return of better business.
The shipments out Of storage reach
only about 500 cases for the week to
all points from this market.

Tobacco growers report that few
fields show the effects of the workings
of white grub worms, rare. instance.
The grubs are evidently cultivating the
tobacco habit, and it is to be hoped il
makes 'em sick. Growing tobacco is
carried on with enough dangers with
out this one added. Generally speak
ing the fields show remarkable pro-
gress, the wet weather having appar-
emily worked little damage, this being
the one crop to thrive on the excessive
rainfall.

LANCASTER, Pa, Aug. 2, 1915.

LANCASTER, PA, Aug. Z, 1919.
The reports of the headquarters Of
fee here of the Ninth Internal Rev
enue District, of which Lancaster and
York counties are the center of the
cigar industry, show that the cigar
trade continues improving in spite OF
the midsummer period when dullness
usually rules the roost. That there
should be improvement now is account
ed for by the fact that manufacturers
are getting orders for fall delivery, as
we'll as for some immediate delivery in
places where business generally has
doomed through war orders. There
fore, manufacturers are putting on
more hands and working longer days.
With the Frightening of the cigar
trade the leaf dealers are beginning to
brace up too, and those who do not re-
port much improvement yet express
confidence in better things being near
at hand. At all events they show their
optimism by preparing to snatch their
share of business when it comes. Some
have already begun sampling their 1914
packing, but the majority will not do
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1915-08-13

A Washington correspondent warns
those in the trade who permit them
selves to be lulled into carelessness by
the optimistic forecasts of future legls-
lation, and who entertain the opinion
that when the term of the emergency
tax expires on December 81, they will
be thing of the past, are due for a
hard jolt. Quite the contrary, and it is
not stating the case too strongly to say
that if the emergency taxes are not
continued it will be merely because
they have been replaced by still higher
taxes. It requires but brief inspec-
ton of conditions confronting the ad-
ministration to convince anyone whose
mind is open to argument that either
the administration must change its
financial policies altogether. or find new
avenues of supply The deficit of the
last fiscal year, unpleasant as it IS to
contemplate, is by no means the most
annoying feature OF the situation which
will confront congress at its next ses-
sion. Even under favorable circum-
stances it is evident the tariff will not
produce sufficient revenue to maintain
the government at the rate it is going,
and growing, while with the war mer-
rily continuing the deficit from this
source will be larger this year than
last.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1915-08-13

The bureau of crop estimates places
the probable yield of the Wisconsin to-
bacco crop on August 1st at 81, 200, 900
pounds, a decrease of over $500, 900
pounds over that of 1914. These fig
ures are mostly speculative at this date
for no one can foretell what the final
result will be when so much depends
upon the weather conditions from now
on until the harvest is completed. And
still the government goes right along
piling up figures.
