Market conditions remain in more
than routine activity. The demand is
keeping up for Sumatra, Shadegrown
wrapper leaf, and old Havana stock
Provident cigar manufacturers who
use Sumatra seem to reckon with the
fact of the short importatlons this year
and to be solicitous about the outcome
of next years inscriptions, if the dis
turbing war conditiol should still pre-
vail. AS for the Havana leaf, manu-
facturers seem to have come also to
realization of an inadequate supply
from the new crop. Consequently they
have become prone to take what the
market is still able to offer them. But
more perhaps than with present ac-
tivity the market is concerned about
the outcome of this years seed leaf
crops. The heavy rainpours during
August reinforced by hail storms have
played havoc with the harvest of the
new crops. The worst afflicted by these
destructive elements seems to have
been Wisconsin in which, as it is being
authoritatively estimated, hardly Is
per cent of sound and available binder
leaf will go into the packing cases. To
the unavoidable weather conditions a
shortage of about so per cent is being
credited to the Ohio crop, and on ac-
count of the same causes uot more than
so per cent of sound crop is expected
in Pennsylvania Owing to these dis
couraging prospects brisk movement
has started already in the Pennsyl
vania tobacco districts for cleaning up
the 1914 crop. Naturally under the
sharp conditions sprung up, the price
of last years Pennsylvania is booming
up, too. Rejecting on the seriousness
of the outcome of last years seed leaf
crops, our leaf market is not especially
anxious for brisk wholesale business
at the present time, nor does it seem to
be alert to offer or peddle out last
years crops. Their sampling is being
generally withheld as if it were to
meet starving demand when the dis
astrous consequences of this years
seed crops will be generally appreciat-
ed, which no doubt will then be taken
advantage of to yield more profitable
return. journal.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, Oct. 8, 1915.


The present week will just about see
the late ends of the tobacco crop finally
harvested. A drop in temperature has
caused frost signals to be sent out, but
the crop has practically escaped that
was not touched by the August frosts.
Warmer weather is now needed to cure
the late harvested tobacco, which must
certainly come to save it from the
heavy freezes that penetrate the sheds
generally due the last of October.
There is not enough buying of the new
crop being done to fix market price,
except for the stemming grades for
which the jitney is the ruling price.
A few outside buyers have commenc-
ed to come into the state and packers
are quietly unloading some of their
holdings of old leaf, while better feel
ing in the eastern markets raises eX-
pectations of considerable movement
in the near future. The B grades of
the IA crop are really in better demand
than the binder portion so far.
Sampling is developing some soft to-
bacco that will need further curing
before being ready for the manufac-
turers' table.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 600 cases from this market to all
points since last report.

NEW YORK. Sept. %. 1915.

Within the past week not less than
$500 cases of Pennsylvania tobacco,
1918 and 1914 crops, have changed
hands in Lancaster. While New York
houses are interested in some of the
transactions, it may be stated that this
is strictly Lancaster business. So long
has Pennsylvania tobacco been drug
on the market that, although general
conditions were ripe, the sudden boom
in this type of tobacco caught some of
the leading firms unprepared. The
primary impelling cause is the fact that
Ohio filler types have been cultivated
at the expense of Pennsylvania until
almost prohibitive prices have been
reached, and, as will be seen from an
account of the Ohio situation published
in another column, the new crop is such
as to make almost any old sound filler
desirable property Of the sales made
in the past week about 5000 cases are
of the 1914 crop and the remainder of
1913. In fact one sale for 1900 cases
of 1913 to manufacturer is reported.
Undoubtedly the fear of what the
new crop may prove to be was big
factor in inducing the sudden buying
movement, and as previously indicated
this was backed up by the knowledge
that the Ohio filler situation was un-
promising. 1t may be we'll to point
out that the impulse came from people
who wanted tobacco rather than from
people who had tobacco to sell. In
fact, holders of tobacco have been stiff
fened in their backbone by reason of
the good reports from the cigar manu-
featuring centers. The wave of opti-
mism that had been pervaiding the
edge that the crop raised this year is

LANCASTER, Pa, Sept. 29, 1915.
Ninety-fve per cent of Lancaster
county's tobacco has been cut. A light
frost occurred Wednesday night, Sept.
22, not enough to cause harm to tobac-
co, but enough to give the growers a
bad scare. However, even earlier in
the week the cutting was pretty gen.
eral, and fear of frost was not alone

Franklin Sherman Jr., entomologist
of the North Carolina department of
agriculture, says that it is necessary
each year at this season to remind to-
bacco farmers that the remnants and
suckers left standing in the field after
harvest serve as food for thousands of
tobacco insects which can here multi
ply unhindered until this food supply is
killed by frost. The case is just this:
If these remnants are left green in the
field these tobacco insects multiply in
great numbers in late summer and
early fall, and when frost comes they
enter winter quarters on the spot, or
in fence-rows or in the woods near by,
and when the next spring comes they
are already there in large force ready
to attack the tobacco or to migrate to
the nearby field where the farmer puts
his next planting. On the other hand,
If the farmer will destroy all these
remnants promptly, these tobacco in
sects will be starved out or must mi
CRATE to some other farmers field to
finish the season, go into winter quar-
ters on his lands, and attack his crop
the next spring. By destroying these
remnants and suckers the farmer to
large extent discourages these pests
and has less of them at the beginning
of the next season-by allowing them
to remain he encourages these pests
and has more of them next season.
The truth of this is easily seen by any
one who will examine. Mr.. Z. T. Met
calf, who has worked on tobacco IN
sects for this Office in 1909, came to the
same conclusion, and Mr.. Morgan OF
the United States department of agri-
culture, who has given special atten-
ton to tobacco insects for several
years, is of the same opinion. Hence,
Mr.. Tobacco Farmer, get rid of the old
stalks, stubble, suckers and remnants
just as soon as possible after harvest
ing the crop.
