NEW DIRK, oct. 10, 1919. i
Our leaf market is inspired by glor-
ious prospects. Although for the pres
ent activity has become somewhat linn
tied because the rush of Fall orders in
the factories has side tracked the at
tention of the manufacturers from
larger provisions of the supply of raw
material the leaf market lives in the
expectation and justifedly so, that the
new year will witness an almost un-
precedented trading. Factories will
have to have new supplies and they
will have to be chiefly furnished by
1914 crops as the 1915 crops in the seed
deaf line are conceded now to have been
to a large extent fnilure both as to
quantity and quality. 1t is the 1914
crops chiefly on which the manufacture
ers will have to rely for their supply
for the next two years and while they
are waiting for their marketing the
value of these crops is almost daily ap-
preciating. The scarcity of binder leaf
will be relieved by the almost perfect
1914 crop, the outcome of which has
surprised its packers in finding less
damage in the cured leaf than they
have encountered in some years past.

''but very little must or mold in the
leaf growing in the southern sections.
The tobacco was thoroughly cured dur
ing the long fall of fine weather year
ago, so the crop came to the ware
houses in extraordinarily fine packing
condition. And as according. to the
same source of information "the bulk
of the crop was bought cheaply," the
prospects Of the packer are exceeding
ly bright for very substantial profit.
In like favorable condition will be the
market as regards other seed crops of
last year. The packers are therefore
not in hurry to sample them and to
offer them when the value is likely not
to be realized fully yet Consequently
whatever trading is done is in the rem
nants of old stock And the market
does not expect to push activity till at
least the new year sets in. The Suma-
ira condition remains unchanged while
the movement in Havana leaf is being
steadily upheld. journal.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, Oct. %, 1915.

YIN WIS., OSC. Z-Z-, 1910.
Another week of Indian summer
weather is helping along the curing of
tobacco crop very rapidly and even the
late harvested portion promises to get
beyond much danger from shed freez-
ing if the present conditions hold a few
days longer. There is no buying of
the new crop yet reaching Importance
enough to fix the market price.
The long looked for revival in the
market for old leaf is apparently well
under way. The packers of Wisconsin
leaf are receiving more inquiries and
have recently concluded more sales
than altogether since 1912. A pros
pective shortage of available binder
leaf the coming year has sent the man
facturers scouting about, for there is
almost a certainty that all the leaf will
be needed before another crop can be
produced. The sales of Wisconsin
packers the past two weeks have ex-
ceeded 1000 cases of '13 and IA goods.
The prices obtained indicate that the
buyers are not stealing the goods
either. There is considerable sampling
of the IA packings yet to be done and
the B portion at least is meeting with
quite ready sale. A 40Ocs lot of the
Equity packing at London has been
sold to Dayton, Ohio, firm.
The shipments out of storage reach
abont 700 cases from this market to all
points since last report.

NEW YORK. Oct. 13. 1915

It is not stretching the truth to say
that there are more cheerful faces to
be seen in Water Street than for long
time past. With the exception of one
or two types of tobacco that, by reason
of peculiar circumstances, are not in ac-
tive demand, the expectation is that a
general advance is imminent. The ac-
tivities in old Pennsylvania have con-
tinued, until at this time the Lancaster
market is practically bare of old goods,
a situation that has not existed in a
long time. The general feeling in
Water Street is that sound tobacco, of
almost any sort, will be better prop
erty year from now than it is now.
AS previously stated in these columns,
the generally inferior nature of the
1915 crop has contributed its share to-
ward bringing about this condition. -

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

There has been more movement of
cured leaf from local packers the past
two weeks than for the entire two
years past. The leaf trade has been so
long in the dumps that this single ray
of promise is hailed with delight that
there is hope of a revival along all
lines of manufacture. If the little life
already injected into the demand for
binder leaf should lead to the absorp-
tion of the stocks of old tobaccos that
have been hanging like milestone up
on the necks of the packers, there will
be general cause of rejoicing. 1t
needed only a partial failure of the
1915 crop in the cigar leaf states to
start things in the market. When the
manufacturers found they must rel.
upon old stocks mostly for their needs
the coming season, Water street deal
ers begun to prick up their ears and
country dealers found they had GUS
toners coming their way. The manu-
IacLurlnS CraQe mas O0oH WOrklnS 50
long on hand to mouth policy that
none save few of the larger concerns
were at all prepared for such situa-
ton, so their need for stock of all de-
scription will be urgent as soon as bus
mess reaches anything like normal pro-
portions. The jobber who is not sup
piled to take care of this demand will
not get the business and no one knows
this fact as we'll as the Water street
dealers. The chance for country pack
ers to unload the coming months is
likely to resemble old times, and here
is hoping they survive the shock at the
prospect.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1915-10-22

But what is real satisfying is that
there is chance for profits in most of
the transactions in old leaf. When a
packer sells out now he is able to fig
ure profit on the trade better than a
commission order something that has
not come his way in so long that it
seems like dream. What would have
happened to them, however, had the
new crop been normal one, still add
ing to the surplus either in growers or
packers hands, can we'll be imagined.
Now, if the opportunity is at hand to
clean the boards, the grower can start
in another season with better pros
pect before him, for the trade will be
ready to absorb moderate sized bind
er crop at remunerative prices. The
situation again recalls the fact that the
supply and demand is the controlling
element in fixing prices.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1915-10-22

The government has been compelled
to revise it's estimates on crop condi-
tions several times this season. The
October forecast scales Wisconsin's to-
bacco crop condition at SO as against
.85 for ten year average, and the
probable yield only 35 million pounds as
against So million in 1914. So the gov
ernment expects little better than half
a crop without putting any estimate on
its quality.

The cultivation of tobacco in France
government and is practically confined
to II departments. Licenses are issued
to communities or districts authorizing
the cultivation of tobacco on specific
area. This area is then allotted to GER
tain growers and from the planting to
the gathering of the crop every plant
is under the supervision of government
officials. AS the government is the
sole purchaser of the leaf when it is
grown, it thus maintains a practical
control over the amount that may be
produced in given year. No bounties
are paid for the growing of tobacco,
and the price paid is according to the
quality of the leaf grown, and the re-
quirements of the regime.

The raise of so per cent on the to-
bacco duties in England has already
had the effect of putting the increase
of the burden, not on the manufact-
urer or distributor, but on the consum-
er and even to larger share than the
governments percentage of increase.
AS soon as the new duty rate was an
nounced in Parliament, the Imperial
Tobacco Co., the largest tobacco pro-
ducing domestic concern of Great Brit
ain, sent out as "a guide to the retail
tobacconists" new price list whereby
price changes were announced. AS the
British masses are addicted more to
the pipe tobacco than any other type,
the increase of nearly Is per cent on
an ounce of tobacco is likely to strike
hardest the very class of people who
can least bear it at the time when ev
cry other article of consumption has
risen In the same proportion. Nor is
the seven cents price for a package of
cigarettes that retail at five cents like
ly to help to increase their cOnsump-
ton. Whether the cigar smokers will
bear an increase of so per cent without
swearing off remains to be seen. The
government is hardly likely to derive
an appreciable benefit from this inor-
dinate increase in its tobacco taxes.
But what will the poor soldiers do in
the trenches if they are going to be de-
prlved OF their comforting smoke by
the raise of the price on their tobacco
and cigarettes? Are they going to
swear off smoking as tolerantly as they
did drlnklng?-U. S. Tobacco Journal.
