VIROQUA, WIS, Sept. 2, 1915.

Not in twenty years has Wisconsin
and this particular section of country
been so seriously injured by elements
of disaster as by the blighting freeze of
Sunday night, when a temperature of
"a above zero was upon US. This un-
fortunate situation is so general that it
is not easy to comprehend the wide
spread effect. The loss in crops to the
upper Mississippi valley must be meas.
ured by millions in dollars. Vernon
county is doubtless as badly touched as
any portion of western Wisconsin, be-
cause of our extensive tobacco and corn
acreage, both of which are in the deli
cate stage of maturing three weeks
to a month behind other years. We
are forcibly reminded of the fact that
farmers, tenants and laborers are feel
ing keenly the losses sustained.
The tobacco crop was short in growth
and most favorable weather necessary
for even fair yield. A few had COM
menced to cut and shed when the blight
fell. From observation and interviews
with representatives from all points in
the county we incline to the belief that
there will be a so per cent loss in to-
bacco. Some fields on highlands are
not injured, others partial, while in
valleys and low places some crops are
completely withered and ruined. Then
there is an average of damage. Cen

NEW YORK, Sept a, 1915.
The tail end of the out-of-town buy
ing crowd has dropped from the market
to spend the last Summer holiday at
their homes. Before leaving they were
nibbling at and picking up whatever of
the Connecticut Broadleaf appeared to
be suitable for their customers and they
also made investments in other types
though sparsely so. Anyhow, the mar
ket had on an average very fair sum-
mer season To some it will undoubtedly
come Has a surprise to learn that
the consumption of Sumatra by our
cigar industry equalled the quantity
consumed during the previous fiscal
year. With the falling off in our out
put of large cigars of over six hundred
millions it was hardly expected that the
consumption of Sumatra would be the
same as for a larger cigar production.

Almost everybody is prepared to then
enter what may be called the fall sea-
son, with invigorated strength and
brighter expectations. The time be-
gins when preparations have to be
made to meet the festive demands for
the approaching holidays. And more
encouraging prospect than for many
years past is in view to enliven and in
crease the fall trade in nearly all our
domestic industries. For our country
is growing in wealth, almost fabulous
ly so. And is is no joke, either, nor a
mere psychological purview, even if
the means of our growing wealth are
being forecast by official Washington.
No matter how statistics may be mixed
up in some cases by our official account
ants in Washington, there is at least
more than a grain of truth in the pub
lication of their figures or the enor-
They have filled the press with the as
founding figures of thousands of mill
ions of dollars which are flowing into
the Golfers of our producers during the
past fiscal year. The value of our ex-
ports during this period was stated to
have been over two billion and seven
hundred million dollars, the largest
volume of exports ever reached by this
country and never surpassed by any
other. And as our imports have
dwindled down almost to zero in COM
parison with these gigantic export fig
ures on account of the European war,
hundreds and hundreds of millions have
come to this country to stay as reward
of our industries and our agricultural
productions. Our food producers never
reached more golden harvest than
during last year. Among our agricul-
tural producers, our cigar leaf growers
have had a most prosperous reward.
And the producers of the Southern
hogshead leaf are assured of the gov
ernment's financial backing, as are the
growers of cotton, the two producing
classes which had been the greatest
sufferers from the European war. The
Administration has announced that 1t
will place thirty million dollars at the
disposal of the cotton ralserS for their
crop, and the Southern tobacco ralsers
are likely to share in this Eenificent
financial paternalism. Our new Fed
eral Reserve System seems to be pie
thoric with money and commercial ac
commodations are being facilitated to
aid legitimate trade and industrial en-
terprise. Gold is flowing into this
country in undreampt-of quantities and
hundreds of millions of dollars which
Summer travel used to scatter through
Europe have part either remained IN
the pockets of our people or have
otherwise been spent on Summer pleas
ures here. This, vast influx of money
and the much easier conditions of our
finances ought to help also to large
extent our tobacco industries. 7.

NEW YORK, Sept. l. 1915.

There is steady demand for Broad
leaf, and it continues to move in fair
proportions, but it is not moving as
rapidly as the Street has been accus-
toned to see it at this time of the year.
Last year the bulk of the crop had
moved from packers hands by the first
of September, and this year this is not
the case. With the exception of Broad
leaf there is very little activity. The
buying up of the new Connecticut Ha-
vana Seed and the frost in Wisconsin
are the two principal topics of interest.
One firm is buying the Onondaga crop
in the field.
The harvest is going on in Ohio and
it is said that quite little of the crop
is cut green. The new Ohio crop is an
irregular one. AS in other states there
has been too much rain. The 1914 crop

is said, will be quality crop of to-

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, Sept. 10, 1915.

The weather of the past week has
been more suitable for the ripening of
the tobacco crop than any previous one
and the harvest is now going forward
in all sections. The damage done by
the late frost in the southern sections
has not proven such serious matter,
except on low grounds, as was at first
predicted, even in Chippewa and Dunn
counties the fields have escaped with
less injury than in valleys of Crawford,
Vernon and Trempealeau.h hThe later to-
bacco, however, is not making the
spread of leaf as was expected and is
one more of the disappointments of the
season. Some buying in the hailed and
frosted sections is being done around a
five cent basis for stemming purposes.
We also learn of few sales of the
choicest crops at 10 cents or better.
Two vicious storms accompanied by
heavy wind and hail covered several
large growing townships this week,
doing further damage to some of the
best prospects of the season.
A Pittsburg dealer has picked up
about 60 cases of old leaf from local
packers during the week. Otherwise
no transaction of moment has come to
notice.
Sampling of the 1914 packing has
commenced in limited way, though
the date for official inspection has not
yet arrived.
The shipments out of storage reach
about $50 cases from this market to all
points since last report.

1t has not only been a decidedly off
year for Wisconsin tobacco growers,
but the cigar leaf crop has sustained
many hardships in nearly all the states
according to all reports. In none of
them is the crop up to the usual stand
ard, either in yield or quality. Natur-
ally it might seem as if the cigar man
facturers, who are not already fortified,
would be hard pressed until something
more suitable to their needs would be
produced. Possibly within few
months they might be willing to look at
samples of old tobaccos that have been
ignored for the past year or so and a
cleanup of the surplus accumulating in
the warehouses made. With short crop
in New England and Wisconsin so badly
knocked out, if the trade ever expert
enced shortage of binder leaf it looks
as if it was due to arrive within the
coming year.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

AS more specific information reaches
US regarding the damage done the 1915
tobacco crop by the freeze of week
ago, the conclusion is forced upon US
that the southern growing districts of
Dane and Rock counties have escaped
with less injury than was at first sup
posed. In fact, the frost was less re-
sponsible for the poor outlook than sew
eral other causes. The great disap-
pointment is seen in the medium and
late fields, which have made little or
no progress since the heavy rains of
early August, that pounded and har-
dened the soil so that only small
spindling growth has since taken place.
Hardly one field in ten show any mark
ings from the frost, but larger per-
centage have an abundance of under
sized leaf running up to spinkling
bud, that might under certain favor
able conditions make suitable "B'
stock. The northern and western
growing districts apparently have been
hit pretty hard for in many localities
corn has been killed by the freeze.
There will be very little of northern
grown binders to be secured out of the
1915 crop, that much seems certain.
The great bulk of the tobacco that is
not plowed under in these counties
must be marketed for stemming pur-
poses and a start to take it over is al
ready under way. AS if misfortunes
never come singly, storm of heavy
wind and hail swept several of the
large growing townships of lower Dane
county this week, doing tremendous
damage to the unharvested crop.
