LANCASTER, Pa, Jan. 10, 191!


In discussing Lancaster county's new
tobacco crop, prominent local leaf
dealer said that it was the finest crop
grown in Is years. The growers say
the same, but, the packer added, it is
also about the worst cured. Beyond a
doubt, no crop that has been grown IN
recent years has proved such disap-
pointment to the packers. For one
thing, it is Of all colors, from nearly
black, looking as though It had already
been sweated, through every lmagln-
able shade of brown to bilious look
ing yellow. Much of it is thin. While
much of the crop will be fine goods, a
lot will not be very desirable. If ever
crop deserved to be bought on its
merits, it is the 1914, and if the grow
ers get the prices they are angling for,
it will be because an unexpected boom
has occurred in the general market. 1t
may be worth noting that the growers
have abated some of their eXtravagant
notions. 1t is quite likely that the ma
iority of them would be willing to take
10 and cents.
Late as the season is comparatively
little tobacco has been sold, certainly
not more than 1000 acres out of the
crops $4,000 acres. For the past week
very little buying was done, only a
choice crop here and there being picked
up by local packer.
It may be taken as certainty, how
ever, that last years prices will not
prevail this year, local packers have
not begun buying yet, but they have
set 10 cents as the outside price they
expect to pay.

NEW YORK, Jan. %, 1915.

NEW YORK, j an. Z3, 1919.
Fair trading was noticeable in the
leaf market during the week. 1t was
centered chiefly in the new shade-groWn
leaf both of the rida-Georgia and
Connecticut growth. From the quest
for these Stypes.it may be surnaised that
transactions in them are likely to be-
come fast and to exceed even those OF
last year Evidently the domestic
shade grown leaf has made perman-
ent hit with large class of our manu-
facturnrs and the success obtained by
it's means seems to stimulate others to
follow in their footsteps. In other leaf
types the market remains rather quiet.
Binder leaf, of course, remains in de-
mand but with meager supply. From
Amsterdam comes the news of the ar
rival of ship load of Sumatra and
our cable from there announces the
date of the first inscription which is
set for March 26. The Havana market
has been stirred by the news from
Cuba and many importers and manu-
facturers have hurried there to look
after their interests. ts.-Journal.

TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, Wis, Jan. 90, 1915.

EDGERTON, WIS, Jan. ~, 1919.
There is apparently slight revival
or the buying movement in nearly all
growing sections of the state, even
though the aggregate sales do not fig
ure to very large proportions. The
buyers of Vernon county are the more
active and include some hail cut crops
for which around five cents have been
paid. There is also some buying of the
short crops for B purposes in the
southern section at figures around
seven cents. Eight to ten cents is lift
ing the bulk of recent purchases, with
an occasional raise for something be-
lieved to be worth the money. Sales
reaching us are:
Knud Henderson, 10a at 103&3c.
John Vaagen, Ga at 9&3c.
Some proportion possibly 60 per
cent of the crop is still hanging in the
curing sheds awaiting casing weather,
so that deliveries at the packing points
are not very liberal as yet and light
forces are generally employed at the
warehouses in operation.
Aside from a few smoll lots we hear
of no important sales of old leaf wor
thy of mention.
The shipments out Of storage reach
900 cases, 18car loads, from this market
to all points since last report.

Considerable riding has been done by

have been taken OK er. Deliveries COM
menced the latter part of the week.
The Bekkedal and Eckhart warehouses
opened on Monday. The packing houses
at Westby and Coon Valley have also
commenced operations.
Case weather on Friday and Satur-
day last permitted removal from the
poles of most of the tobacco not before
taken down, and stripping and bundling
has been in order. Censor.

Connecticut tobacco growers and
packers, principally those interested IN
shade grown leaf, are pretty fully con-
vinced that the time is not far distant
when they will have to have thor
oughly systematized method of selling
their tobacco, somewhat akin to the
Amsterdam inscriptions in which each
years crop of Sumatra is disposed of.
For several seasons past the Connecti-
cut tobacco belt has been subjected
to increasing strain, as the visits OF
buyers came earlier and earlier. To-
day, in January, there are many rep
resentatives of leaf jobbers and cigar
manufacturers in the district, while the
best time for them to. come would be In
early spring. AS yet the new crop is
not fully taken down, assorted or
packed and transactions which are TAX
ing place must necessarily be based
upon dealing in futures. The leaf is
not in the proper condition to be viewed
by purchasers, not only because buying
or contracting for it now is risky for
the purchaser, but because the seller
may overestimate his holdings.
The law of supply and demand ap-
pears to have been effectively demon
strated by the tobacco crop of the
United States in 1914, the figures for
which were supplied by the Agricul-
tural Outlook, a crop publication issued
by the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture. According to this report the
acreage in 1914 was 1890, 500 as
against 1916, 100 acres in 1913. The
yield per acre was also larger, being
845.7 pounds as against 784.3 IN the
year previous The production amount
ed to 1904, 679, 600 pounds IN 1914 as
against 953, 734 pounds in 1913. But
the average price per pound Tor the
1914 crop was 9.8 cents as against IL.
cents for the 1913 tobacco: and the to-
tai value, based on prices December /,
to producers. was, in 1914, S101, al, 900
as against $122, ,481, 900 in 1915. 1t is
interesting to note that IN the three
principal shade-growing states, despite
the increasing popularity OF that type
of leaf. the price per pound fell off.
In Connecticut it dropped from Il cents
in 1913, to 1875 cents in 1914. in Geor-
gia it dropped from 81 cents in 1913, to
25 cents in 1914, and in Florida from 81
cents to 80. In this connection it is
worthy Of comment that in all cigar
leaf producing states the price either
fell under or it did not advance over
the price of 1913. In considering these
figures it must be borne in mind that
they represent the price paid to the
grower.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The tobacco packers of this country,
particularly Of the northern cigar man.
ufacturing centers, will be interested
in bulletin just published by the Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station of the
University of Wisconsin, explaining
the cause of tlack rot of tobacco and
giving suggestions for the control of
this disease, which in many years has
been the c.use of heavy losses. The
disease, as packers see it, appears dur
ing the fermenting stage and is char
acterized by dry rotting of spots Of the
leaves which seriously damages them
for cigar making. Leaves affected
with the disease, when handled, break
up into powder. Experienced workers
have learned to easily recognize black
rot by its characteristic appearance
and odor. According to James John
son, who has had charge of the inves-
LEGATIONS at the experiment station OF
this and other tobacco diseases, this
malady can be controlled by limiting
the amount of moisture in the tobacco
at the time of packing and by avoiding
certain temperatures which are within
the danger limit during fermentation.
The results of this experimentation de-
scribed in Research Bulletin 81, are OF
special Importance to the tobacco pack
ers of Dane, Rock, Vernon, Crawford,
Columbia, Monroe, Jefferson and Chip
pewa counties, in which, according to
estimate, 92 per cent of Wisconsin's
tobacco crop is grown. Wisconsin
packers put up annually $4,000. 600
pounds of tobacco and the prevention
of damage during fermentation is OF
great Importance. The Reporter will
later devote more space in reproducing
the results of the experiments of Prof.
Johnson. Our columns are also open
to the views Of packers or growers on
this subject. The black rot damage is
becoming more and more a serious loss
to packers and if a sure preventive can
be devised or if the exact cause can be.
found so that the remedy can be ap-
Piled. such facts will Be Of the great
est Importance to the industry.

Connecticut tobacco warehouses are
running full time, every last one of
them. Many sales have been made,
too, at prices ranging high as an aver
age, considering what some of the Of
ferings were. The packers purchases
are becoming greater every week, and
more labor is being taken on at many
centers. Workmen are pretty plenti-
full, and what with the excellent wealth
er the Valley has been enjoying it does
not seem as If Connecticut could re-
port anything but a very satisfactory
winter season.
