LANCASTER, Pa, June %, 1916.
Lancaster county's 1909 tobacco con-
tinues easily to hold the record as the
sensation for this county's tobacco
crops. 1t is considered little less than
a marvel that tobacco that had as black
an eye as this, and which for years had
practically no market, selling as low as
five and six cents pound, should at
last jump to figures almost as high as
goods that were nearly of gilt-edged
quality. During the past month. or
little more, We'll & Sons of New York
have bought trifie over $500 cases of
the 1909 tobacco for shipment to
France and Holland. A special train
load Of Lancaster county tobacco was
something new for Lancaster, but a
trainload left this city over the Phila-
delphia and Reading railroad about a
week ago, sent out by We'll & Sons
And the next day five more carloads
were shipped by the same firm all 1909
goods.
The favorable weather of the past
week gave the growers the chance they
have been waiting for so long, and ev-
erywhere could be seen growers and
even the women Of their families set
ting the plants out in the fields. And
lately good deal of replanting has
been done, because of the numerous
cutworms, more plentiful than usual
this week. AS whole the plants are
not scarce, but plenty of growers had
to buy plants because of the destruc-
tion of their own seed beds by snails or
through the plants rotting. And to add
to the troubles Of the growers several
severe hail storms have already visited
the county. Of course no damage was
done to tobacco, but the hail has given
the growers jolt, as it has made them
fear this is to be season of storms.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERTON, WIS.,, July z, 1916.
The transplanting of the 1916 tobacco
crop is completed in all sections of the
state within the usual limit and under
about as favorable conditions as grow
ers often experience The fields gen.
we'll rooted plants that have begun to
make progress. After week of warm
weather rain would now be acceptable
to help give the crop vigorous state.
The prospects so far, however, are en-
tirely satisfactory.
No news of Importance has developed
in the line of old leaf except that hold
ers report an excellent demand for all
grades of cigar leaf. Another ship
ment of Wisconsin leaf is being made
ready on an Australian order in this
market.
Warehouse work is now confined
mainly to stemming operations, or pre-
pairing bundle tobacco for export ship
ment.
The shipments ont of storage reach
only about $50 cases from this market
to all points since last report.
New York.
New YORK, July l, 1916.
The leaf market continues doing a
rapid-fre business regardless of the
high prices. From indications in grow
ing sections it seems that the prices
now prevailing will be looked upon as
cheap when another year rolls by and
the manufacturing industry is con-
fronted with the advances scheduled
then. In the Havana market, the
prices that are being paid are simply
astonishing, with no assurance that the
tobacco is going to show up exception
ally we'll. Sumatra tobacco continues
to go into manufacturers hands at a
lively pace, and with the official an
nouncement, as published elsewhere in
this issue, the effect that there will be
only one Fall inscription this year, very
little encouragement seems to be held
out for an over-abundance Of importa-
tions in 1916. Altogether it seems as
if the leaf dealers are going to have
very little tobacco to offer this winter,
which is not especially good news for
either the cigar manufacturing indus
try or leaf dealers. journal.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, June 27, 1916.
Rapid progress has been made in
transplanting the Connecticut Valley
tobacco crop the past week notwith-
standing that yesterday was the only
day without rain. Sundays rain was
one Of the heaviest of the season. Yes
terday was perfect tobacco day. A
week or ten days of sunshine would
work wonders in the way of root growth
without which good tobacco is impos-
sible.
Despite the unusual rainfall, scarcity
of labor and difficulty in procuring sat-
isfactory fertilizers, the new crop has
suffered no drawbacks which good
weather from now on cannot make
good. On the contrary it seems likely
that the 1916 crop will yet prove an
average yield.

A great many honest men believe
that tobacco is not necessity, and
yet tobacco is one of the 9war babies
and the governments at war are furn-
ishing their soldiers and sailors with
ample quantities of it. The largest to-
bacco transportation contract in history
has recently been closed, and it pro-
-vides for carrying 234, 900, 900 pounds
from this country to France during the
months of July and August. The to-
bacco comes from Kentucky, and it
will be shipped in hogsheads. of which

weighing II, 700 tons. The tobacco is
shipped in leaf form to the French
government. Very likely when the
next set of moving pictures comes out

this tobacco will appear in the films,
and the probabilities are that the pa
triots Who prepare it for the French
soldiers to chew and smoke will be the

shipment of 5000 tons of the recent
purchase will be sent to France dur
