NEW YORK. Nav 6. 1916,

Except in the so-called Mckinley
year in the last few days before the
high duty rate on Sumatra went into
effect no ship-loads of tobacco were
awaited with more eagerness than the
Sumatra cargoes on the 'tNoordam'
and 'tRyndam, which came into port
on Thursday, last. Accordingkto the
manifest these boats carried over six
thousand bales of Sumatra, part of the
purchases at the first few inscriptions.
And no sooner had the samples of these
importations made their appearance in
the importers Offices when they were
subjected at once to close inspection by
any number of manufacturers who had
made previous appointments for the
purpose and were promptly at hand for
fear of losing their chance of getting
their share. 1t will hardly be much
out of the way to predict that the bulk
of these new importations will pass
into manufacturers hands before the
may not have altogether smooth sail

not all have the qualifications of justi-
flying the higher price. But there is
lO IlC SAOoC OllO1 CoS VI Au-
matra in the hands of manufacturers
and no matter how widely our domestic
Shadegrown leaf has extended its GUS
tomership there is not enough of it to
completely substitute the acknowledged
shortage of the Sumatra. Aside of the
activities displayed in search of the
new Sumatra importations there was
little else to deserve special note. The
routine business in all types is keeping
up and seems to give no cause for any
grumbling or complaint. The report
from Havana is to the effect of quick
clearance of all low grades which are
in hungry demand in Europe. The rid
dance of these low grades at figures
far beyond their normal valuation
ought to give the Havana market a
steadier tone Of more profitable real
ization. n.-Journal.

NEW YORK, MAY 2, 1916.

The only type of domestic tobacco in
which any activity has been reported is
Florida and Georgia Shadegrown. The
houses specializing in this have had a
great deal of inquiry recently, and some
sales have been made. There is tre-
mendous demand for Porto Rico tobac-
CO, but the market is so bare that the
packers are holding the small stocks on
hand for their own customers and will
not sell in the general market. A small
shipment or two of the new wrappers
have been received, and have gone out
almost as soon as they arrived.
Sumatra. = The Ryndam docked to-
day, bringing large quantity of tobac-
CO from the second sale, which will be
ready for exhibition in day or SO.
The Noordam will arrive the latter part
of the week, bringing tobacco from the
third sale, so that in the course of a
week the trade will be in position to
know from personal observation what
the market has to offer this year. At
Saturdays Rotterdam sale 100 bales
were taken for America There will
be another sale at Amsterdam next

Summer days have come at last
whose influence is giving the plant
beds tremendous boost aud the young
plants are fast regaining the delays of
late season. Generally speaking
there seems to be an abundance of
plants and if the present weather con-
ditions continue there is promise of
their being in readiness for the fields
at the usual time for transplanting.
Growers are more likely to be pushed
in their work of getting the soil in
readiness for planting.
There is little left to do about the
packing centers. Mcintosh Bros. have
finished the seasons run this week,
though the Jenson warehouse has at
least months work yet in sight. We

LANCASTER, PA, Nav 8, 1916

LANCAoIEh, A., mdJ ., 1910.
The buying of large quantities of
cheap tobacco by the agents of French
and Dutch concerns during the past
few months has been serious matter
for the smaller cigar manufacturers of
Lancaster county, though, strangely
enough, little has been heard on the
subject. The sweeping up wholesale of
cheap tobacco has left many of these
factories almost stripped of the goods
needed for manufacturing Many are
about on the ragged edge of shut
down. Very little old goods of any
kind, barring the 1909, are left, and
none of these are of the cheap kind.
While many hundreds of cases of 1909
have been bought up, 5000 to 10000
cases are still left in the hands of local
packers. Probably the only reason
these were not taken up by these
agents is because of the rapid increase
in prices. Tobacco that only a few
months ago went begging at six and
seven cents a pound has lately been
selling at ten and ten and half cents,
and only few days ago a packing in
the county was sold for thirteen cents.

The same innocuous attitude in re-
gard to accurate classification of leaf
types as has characterized for so long
the statistical bureau of Washington
departments seems to have been adopt
ed also by the Census Bureau which
has charge of the publication of the
leaf stock in the hands of manufacture
ers and jobbers. But, while these fig
ures properly classify every type grown
in the South and all cigar leaf types,
even giving discriminating account of
Broadleaf, Havana Seed and Shade
grown, they lump all imported types in
one total, as if we imported but one
type of foreign leaf. Is it impossible
for the statisticians of the Census Bu-
reau to realize that the trade is as
much interested in knowing how much
Havana or Sumatra leaf is in the hands
of importers and manufacturers, as it
is to learn the quantity of domestic
Shadegrown or Broadleaf? The utter
disinclination Of Washington officials to
be entirely accurate in the information
they are obliged by law to give to the
public is simply incomprehensive. Could
not some member of Congress take up
this subject and pound enlightenment
into the heads of the officials of the
Census Bureau? From the figures pre-
sented, however, it seems that there
We're ten million pounds less of foreign
leaf in possession Of manufacturers and
dealers on April /, 1916, than there
were on April l last year. The big
shortage of foreign leaf, particularly
in Sumatra, is herewith officially con-
firmed. AS for domestic cigar leaf
stock, the quantity of Broadleaf, Ha-
vana Seed and Shadegrown seems to
have been larger the first Of last April
than on April l in 1915, while some re-
duction will be noted in the stock of
Pennsylvania and Ohio on hand but
much less than anticipated of Wiscon-

The internal revenue reports of to-
bacco in hands of dealers and manu-
facturers on April 1st show but about
two million pounds less of Wisconsin
than year ago that date. The fig
ures give total of Sc million pounds.
In this aggregate is included about all
of the 1915 crop, several million pounds
of the IA stemming stock as well as
cased goods held in storage of all
growths from 1912 down to Is. So
these figures do not help much in ar
irving at the amount of tobacco suit
able for cigar purposes held in store
houses in Wisconsin April 1st. Until
this report is made to separate the
kinds and years grown of the tobacco
held on the dates given, the figures are
of little value to the trade, but rather
confusing and misleading to everyone
not familiar with this explanation.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The recent transfer of another big
block purchased for stemming pur-
poses to an export firm confirms the
belief that more Wisconsin leaf has
gone to fill the urgent demand of the
European countries engaged in war
than for many years past. The export
trade is not so particular about the
quality of the goods either-almOst
anything under the name of tobacco
can be used, so the cheaper grades of
any years growth will answer their
purpose. To meet this demand some
three or four million pounds of '13 and
IA stemming stock has been repur-
chased from holders, cased and pre-
pared for shipment abroad. The con-
dition in this state is just what has
taken place in Pennsylvania, Ohio and
other cigar leaf states where the man.
ufacturers are complaining that the
exporters have gathered up the cheap
tobaccos which they usually draw from
for the stogie trade until the local fac
tories are facing a famine of stock to
keep their business going.
But the exporters are having their
troubles, too. The embargoes laid on
shipments of tobacco have played hob
with their calculations. They have the
stock bought but soldier boys in the
trenches are just as hungry for tobacco
as ever, with the prospect that little if
any of it can reach Germany at least
until the war closes. Even if the ports
were open ocean freights have ad-
vanced so tremendously that the cost
of landing the tobacco in European
points has more than tripled in the
past two years. This added to the al
most prohibitive insurance rate and it
can readily be seen that the tobacco
exporter is not having clear sailing.
One shipper complains that he has
goods laying at Baltimore since De-
cember on which freight was prepaid
and ocean lines cannot as yet give
date for shipment. With submarines
scouting the seas. grim war ships
blockading the ports of, Germany and
Holland the exporter might better sit
.Jlght and wait for the war clouds to
lift if he is wise

The Kurda of Kurdu

TIE Kurds, whose transfer OF aTlegi-
ance from Turkey to Russia in conse-
GucnCe Of the fall OF ErZerum, IS now
alarming the official world at Constan-
tinople, trace back not only to the
Carduchi of classical days. but far be-
yond that to the Turanian Kurdu, who
were a powerful nation in Assyrian
times. When Nineveh fell they be-
came merged in the Modes and up to-
day have been subject partly to Per-
s!a and partly to Turkey. Being allen
to the former in religion and to the
later in language, II is not surprising
that they have an indifferent rcputa-
ton among their neighbors. But this
is not altogether deserved. for, though
wild and lawless, they are neither fan
atical nor cruel, and are by nature
brave and hospitable. The Great SAL

PRINCETON TIGERS LOSE
STAR PITCHER.
Deyo Put Under Ban BY Faculty For
Playing Summer Ball.

Big Bill Deyo, Princeton's star
pitcher, has fallen under the ban be-
cause he played summer ball AT Au
Sable, in the AdriondaCks. The story
that Deyo has Joined lie Gore, Wa
troUs, Milburn and others came out tho
other day though weeks ago Deyo
was told by Dean McClenahan that he
would never again be permitted to rep
resent the Tigers. The dean is backed
up by the faculty comittee on out
door sports.
Deyo's case involves a nice point in
amateurism. Dean McClenahan and
the committee consider that the pith-
er has lost his amateur standing, be-
cause he violated an implied agree
ment with the dean.
The authorities stand is based on
the fact that Deyo said last spring that
his duties at a summer hotel were to
be the care of the golf green's or Sim
liar work." in return for which he was
to receive his board. The dean says
that the pitcher spent little time on
the greens and that the similar work
referred to consisted in the main of
pitching for the hotel nine.
Last June Deyo went to Dean Nc
Clenahan and asked for permission to
pitch for the hotel team, stressing the
fact that his health demanded a trip
to the mountains. He was to look after
