NEW YORK, Aug. Is, 1916.

There is general demand for all
types of domestic cigar leaf tobacco,
but the absorption by the manufactur-
ers is gradual and the buying is in re-
sponse to actual needs. Were prices
more nearly what the manufacturers
conceive they can afford to pay for
material, the buying would be more
brisk. But the present price level is
probably the highest in the history of
the trade, and it is easy to understand
why manufacturer would hesitate to
make heavy commitments at the pres
ent scale. Though, as matter of fact,
there is very little hope that prices will
be any cheaper in the near future.
Reports from the growing sections
indicate rapid growth on the part of
the new crop, and crop prospects gen
orally are better than they were some
time back. This is especially notable
in Connecticut, where the harvest of
the new Shadegrown has commenced,
and in Wisconsin. Buying continues in
Connecticut, and the buying movement
in Wisconsin has taken on the appear
ance of a mad scramble for goods. =

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,. Aug. 25. 1916.

EDGERTON. Wis.,. Aug. 25, 1916.
The field buying movement of the
new tobacco crop has dropped back into
second speed this week, waiting to see
how the weather might effect the out
come of large per cent of the crop,
which still hangs in the balance And
it was high time for the buyers to
"stop, look and listen" while they sur
vey some of their purchases made and
see if they haven't been paying top
price for BIS instead of binders in the
rush of buying. Another spell of torrid
days that withered the fields and sun
burned many plants has put decided
crimp into the prospects for thin
binder leaf. This, coupled with the
pressing need of rain to help out the
later fields, is sufficient reason for call
ing off the buyers to await results.
Some sales at about former prices have
been made during the week but the in
dications are that most dealers are oe
the opinion that they have their fill of
10 cent tobacco under the present out
look. We might fill columns of sales
made at Is, 16 and II cents for wrap
per and binder grades while the rush
was on, but could have little effect on
future transactions until conditions
show marked improvement
Some harvesting of the crop has been
started during the week, and possibly
half of it is topped, but the later fields
are making no progress except toward
a small, thick leaf while rains are so
badly needed.
The market for old stock brings no
new features either locally or in east
ern centers. Manufacturers buy only
from hand to mouth.
The shipments out of storage reach
only about $50 cases from this market
to all points since last report.

ORFoRDvILLE, WIS, Aug. II, 1916.

Tobacco in this section, according to
several who have travelled in other to-
bacco sections of this state, is rather
backward, stunted in growth. While
topping has been under way in the
northern and central sections, few fields
here have attained growth sufficient to
warrant topping. Many fields are very
backward, owing some say to the ex-
cessive rains during the planting sea-
son. There are few exceptions, how
ever, and the growers are by no means
pessimistic over the prospects for de-
veloment of the CROP Field buying is
being indulged in by some buyers, but
little buying has been done in this sec
ton.

Pennsylvania.
LANCASTER, Pa, Aug. 16, 1916.

LANCASTER, IA, Aug. 10, 1910.
Local packers are keeping very
solicitious eye or the growing crop of
Lancaster county, for several reasons.
They intend being in the field this sea-
son as buyers, even against the big
outside concerns, if need be. They
want tobacco with which to do busi-
ness, and they want it badly, because
about all the old goods that most of
them have is just about enough to en-
able them to do jobbing business, and
that on very small scale, too. The
few who had sand enough, or money
enough, to invest in 1915 goods have a
money-making article, and they know
it. They have plenty of offers for their
holdings, but they prefer to keep it for
better prices.
The local dealers are naturally anx-
ious about the prices they may have to
pay for the new crop, and it is no
secret that they expect to pay more
than they really ought to pay, consid-
ering what they are getting for their
old tobacco. That the crop is likely to
turn out big one, regular bumper,
both as to the acreage and yield, makes
no difference The new crop looks
good.
The bulk of the Havana tobacco has
been cut, a nice lot of tobacco, with
which the growers are well pleased.
And the packers who want that kind of
goods are also pleased with it. While
a lot of Pennsylvania Seedleaf remains
untopped, some has already been cut.
Some near Washington Borough will
run from 1900 to 1000 pounds to the
acre.
Lately number of small factories
have had to close because they could
not get the tobacco they needed. Most
of these manufacturers make cheap
cigars, and without tobacco they could
continue no longer in business.

NOTE COOK SKETCHES
Will it be Binders or 'B's"?

VIII 1T be Binders or b s.
The coming few days will determine
whether the tobacco buyers in their
mad rush to contract the 1916 crop,
have not obligated themselves to pay
top prices for considerable portion of
what must eventually be graded as ''B"
stock. Another week of extreme heat
has wilted, withered and burned so
many fields that had just been topped
that it has prevented the expected
spread of leaf and put mule ears on
the plants that will cut thousands of
dollars out of the value of the tobacco
every day the hot dry season continues.
So many of the large growers who have
apparently been singled out for the top
prices, have portions of the crop with
late ends None of which can hardly
escape having more or less of the crop
effected by the conditions above de-
scribed. The tobacco buyers have evil
IDENTIFY been betting too strongly on the
weather conditions needed to bring the
crop through to maturity and If it so
proves that they must pay IA to 16
cents and above for an unusually large
percentage of B goods very little sym
pathy may be expected from the grow
ers who objected strenuously to selling
their tobacco crop until it had been
made and secured against field contin-
gencies Having contracted for the
sale in good faith they will expect the
packers to fulfill their part and pay the
agreed price whatever the quality of
the crop might be if it meets the other
requirements at delivery. This is the
situation and no one but the overanx-
ious buyers, who have brought the
trouble on themselves by their unbusi-
ness like methods of too early field
buying. And it may be a stiff penalty
they will be called upon to pay for it.

The
Money
Question

is as much how to keep it as
how to get it. What is the use
of striving to acquire it if it is
going to be a source of worry.

The First

answers the question of how to
keep money perfectly. An ac-
count there means absolute
safety for your cash and free
dom from worry for you. Open
an account and you can give
all instead of half your mind
to your business.

Big PARKER MEETING

Sunday last John M. Parker ad-
dressed the people here. he was to
speak at the Bienvenu Theatre be-
cause he was adverse to any speak
ing in the open air, but as the
theatre could not hold one third
of the large audience, it was deci-
ded to hold the meeting at the
Evangelins park in order that all
be given chance to hear the can
didate. The meeting was opened
by DR.. D. G. Liable who made a
few remarks and took occasion to
tell to the large crowd that he was
a candidate for Sheriff regardless
of who was elected at the primary
election.
DIR. j. r. Olivier followed, made
some few remarks and introduced
Mr.. Parker who made a short ad-
dress, he went right to the point
and told the people why he was a
candidate and what he proposed to
do if he was elected. His remarks
were well received and Mr.. Parker
was pleased with the large atten-
dance of this meeting.

Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
Would you kindly give space to
the following so that the public
may be appraised of the vandalism
that is being perpetrated in the
Cemetery: flower plants surround
ing the last resting place of depar-
ted relatives that are lovingly cared
for by bsreaved parents are dug
and carried off by evil minded and
mischievous idlers, and those, that
perchance are left to bloom, are
culled and pilfered for personal
adornment and home decoration;
thus showing their want of COM
passion and their insensibility to
tho distresses they cause to others;
it is inconceivable that human be-
Christians-can be 80 bereft
of the respect due to the dead and
to the sacred place" wherein they
lie mouldering to ruthlessly dis
turb their ashes-to deliberately
commit such descration as noted
above, an act repulsive to the re-
fined and highminded the world
over--an act condemned even
by the heathen, by the Savage. A
watch should be kept upon those
despoilers and when caught in their
nefarious work be severely punish.
ed as a warning to others that may
be imbued with that same spirit of
sacrilegious and beastly instinct
that should belong only to that
class of the lower animals-to the
swine-to the omnivarous hog
that stupid animal which delights
to allow in the mire.

Washington, Aug. 7. = Chairman
Vance Mccormick, Of the Democratic
National committee, and Homer Cum
mings, chairman of the Democratic
Campaign Speakers Bureau, conferred
with President Wilson for more than
four hours at the White House today
on the party program for the next few

Of the approaching campaign.
''We conferred about everything of
interest to the Democratic party said
Mr. Mccormick as he left the White
House at 4:3O CLOCK, Ebut we did
not come to final agreement as to
what the President will take. Much de-
ponds on the time Congress adjourns.
We were unable to get any definite
| idea from friends in Congress when an
adjournment will come. We want to
start the campaign in earnest about the
longer than the Is. If Congress should
hold on until after September Is we
will have to go ahead with the Motif
cation ceremonies, and the campaign
President Wilson told Messrs. Nc
Cormick and Cummings that he still
thinks that he should stick close to
Washington until Congress quits. He
does not want to make any political en-
gagements before the Democratic pro-
gram is carried out by Congress. He
will go to Kentucky to make speech
on Lincoln, Sept. 4, and may go to ST.
Louis for the Underwriters Convention
but has ont agreed to make any poll
teal speeches.
The understanding is that if Congress
quits by September Is, the President
will be notified, and will then go into
the campaign. He will go clear to the
Pacific Coast if time permits.
President Wilson is not worried about
the threatened attack of the suffragists
on him because he will not endorse
their plan for the Federal amendment
