Eiuht-Hour Law Pleases.
In conversation with a prominent
member of the local the new working
conditions were mentioned and he sta
ted that the new eight-hour law was
working to the satisfaction Of the
men with the exception OF few. The
total production of stogies has been
reduced since the new system went
into effect each week, due to the re-
duced hours, and men who would re-
main idle under the old plan are Be-
curing employment now. Another
thing that is working to the advantage
Of the men is that the stogie business
has picked up considerably.
At the Pollack plant the men work.
ing on the export stogie were idle
Tuesday at noon and to remain idle
until Thursday morning. when they
reported for work. The weather was
responsible. the stock being slow in
drying, Crown men are working good
at the Pollack plant. The men at the
Marsh Twelfth street plant started to
work after an idleness of two weeks.

case stated he was very much elated
over efforts put forth by the stogie-
makers and particularly the OFFICERS
OF the local when fighting this brand

Considering what is generally held to
be the Off-season, the market is fairly
active in tending to its customary
trade. Being on the verge Of very
prosperous times our cigar industry
does not seem to miss the opportunity
of stocking up with raw material wher-
ever suitable supply at still moderate
prices can be obtained. Of our wrap
per leaf is being absorbed whatever is
in sight. Both the importers of Suma-
ira and packers of Shadegrown have
been particularly busy disposing of
their stock. The news that our inn
ports Of Sumatra during the fiscal year
ending June Both last exceeded nearly
5000 bales the imports during the same
period last year may cause specifically
the impression that there will be a
larger stock of Sumatra on hand than
last year. 1t should, however, be re-
membered that this year on account of
the difficulties of transportation caused
by the war our importers hurried over
their purchases from the inscriptions
at once while in previous years large
stocks of the purchased Sumatra re-

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. WIS.,. Aug. 20. 1915.

EDGERToN, Wis, Aug. 20, 1915.
The week has brought variety of
weather, some of it just what is needed
for the belated corn and tobacco but
with several nights much too cool to
mature these crops, which still need a
month of warm weather. The rains
have also been accompanied by strips
of hail in a few growing districts. Con-
siderable topping is under way now but
at least half the crop has not yet
reached that point.
We learn that little buying in the
hail-cut districts has commenced for
stemming purposes. A few lots of IA
remnants have also lately been moved
at low grade prices.
While little better feeling is noted
in the eastern markets regarding old
leaf, the movement as yet is largely
confined to small orders which local
packers do not share in much.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 200 cases te all points since last
report.

Pennsylvania.
LANCASTER, Pa, Aug. II, 1915.

This county's growing tobacco was
given two nasty raps last week. The
lower part of the county was visited by
a hail storm early in the week, which
did considerable damage, and this was
followed few days later by furious
storm of wind and rain. The former
did little damage, as the plants are too
large and well set to be washed out of
the ground, but the wind got in its
work well, being of nearly cyclonic vio-
lence. Everywhere leaves were torn
from plants, doing great amount of
damage and causing quite serious loss.
Had the plants been little more ad-
vanced to maturity, the damage would
have been enormous.
Last weeks reports regarding the
crop are very conflicting and unsatis-
factory. That it has become a strik-
ingly uneven crop is very generally ad-
mitted, this being shown not only in
adjoining fields, but in the individual
fields. Nor are the plants taking on
the growth they should. There has
been plenty of rains in some localities,
while others have had little.

SUN PRAIRIE, WIS, Aug. 12, 1915.

Last week the Miller warehouse fin
ished the sorting of their 1914 crop Of
tobacco, concluding one of the longest
seasons the company ever experienced.
The Broughton warehouse finished
about three weeks ago. Both ware
houses commenced sorting about the
first Of March and nearly 100 people
have been given employment continu-
ously since that time. The combined
payroll of both warehouses has aver
aged probably $1,000 per week, all Of
which has been distributed in this COM
munity. Consider this amount each
week for five months in the year, and
the value of these industries to the
people of Sun Prairie is readily seen.
In the five months probably 5000, 600
pounds Of tobacco have been handled in
the two warehouses.

ORFoRDvILLE, WIS.,, Aug. IL, 1915

The storm of last Saturday might
have been much worse, but was bad
enough to catch several of the tobacco
growers and destroy their crops to q
considerable extent. The rain was fol
lowed by heavy fall of hail which
picked crop here and there south of
the village on towards Newark. Of
course some of these fields may yet
produce a considerable amount of low
grade, but it is doubtful if the growers
would realize sufficient to pay to handle
such crop. Some years hail cut to-
bacco brings good price, and the deal
ers are telling us that good grades will
not be bought at fancy price this
year owing to the market conditions
caused by the war.

Without favorable conditions from
this time on there is certain to be pro-
duced another crop with an unusually
large proportion of low grade and "tail
ends" for the stemmers to absorb at
whatever figure they may be pleased
to put on them Having already the
largest stock of low grades on hand
ever taken over by these concerns, es-
timated to be close to Is per cent of
the 1914 crop, it is nowlse likely they
would be anxious to add to their hold
ings until good portion of this stock
had been manufactured, except at a
very low figure that would not particu-
ularly appeal to growers. If something
like an ordinary crop of binder leaf can
be produced this year the situation
would be considerably relieved.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES


Where the growers have found time
to cultivate the fields while the grain
harvest was on and the plants were not
too large, the medium sized tobacco is
now making most phenomenal advance
ment and promises to be the most sat-
isfactory portion of the crop. During
the long season of wet weather the
roots were mostly too near the top of
the ground to produce the desired size
of leaf. The stirring of the soil sent
the roots deeper and the result can be
plainly seen in a broader and more SUBJ
stantial size of leaf. What is needed
now is warm days and the lengthening
of the season to mature this portion of
the crop and a quick grown binder leaf
will be realized. But here it is past
the middle of August and scarcely more
than 10 per cent of the crop has yet
been topped, bringing the season from
three to four weeks late with the crop
at best. The fate, therefore, of a
great portion of the 1915 crop still
hangs in the balance. A late fall is
surely it's only salvation. And we still
continue to hope for the best.

Buyers say it is the finest tobacco they
have seen this season.
