NEW YORK. Jan. 5, 1916.

The work Of stocktaking has occu-
pied the time and attention of the leaf
merchants lately, and judging from the
general tone of conversation around the
leaf offices the books must have shown
up fairly satisfactorily. The year
wound up with a whirlwind finish,
which has left the trade in cheerful
mood Every one is wondering wheth-
er the squirt that began in October has
spent itself, or whether the business
that has prevailed since then is but a
sample of what 1916 is to bring the
trade. The general impression is that
business will be much better this year
than it has been for several years.
Leaf merchants report that orders
were booked for January delivery suf-
ficient to make January good month,
regardless of what happens. What
they want to know is: Will February,
March, April and May be good months?
There is certainly not too much good
tobacco of any sort, and the 1915 crops
did not produce normal years sup
ply If the cigar trade continues ac-
tive, there is little doubt that the leaf
merchants will be hard pressed to sup
ply the wants of their customers.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, Jan. Ia, 1916.

EDGERToN. Wis, Jan. Ia, 1916.
Aside from the constant buying of
the new crop at stemming goods prices
there is little movement of 1915 leaf
since the beginning of the new year.
The farmers are still busy with their
stripping where the bulks were not
permitted to freeze during the few
days of zero weather the past week.
We learn that quite a portion of the
crop is still hanging, as not all the
growers were able to clean out their
sheds at the last casing spell.
We are able to report one of the
largest transactions in old leaf in some
months-a 900cs lot of '13 sold by San
ford Soverhill, Janesville packer, to
the American Cigar Co. Andrew Jen-
son & Sons also report the sale of a
400cs lot of Ia, which taken in connec-
ton with numerous small orders indi-
Gates a healthy demand for binder
goods.
The warehouse sorting of the new
crop will be started at the Eisenlohr
plant the coming week.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 1,000cs and four cars of bundles
since last report.

LANCASTER, Pa, Jan. 3, 1915

LANCASTER, Pa, Jan. 3, 1916.
Much tobacco of the new crop has
already been stripped, the recent damp
weather having prepared 1t for easy
handling, and considerable quantity
has been delivered, too. So far, there
has been no trouble over the deliveries,
the tobacco having been stripped clean.
Tt is to be hoped this will be the case
with the whole crop but this is too
much to expect There is a good deal
of pole burnt tobacco, and not little
that shows up bad in other ways, but
damaged goods that was looked for,
the crop was grown.
That it went through the curing with
good results, generally, is admitted,
and all who have made general in
spection through the county say that
the bulk of the crops they saw showed
good color and burned well. Whatever
faults it had, poor burn was not one
of them. While practically all the 1915
crop has been sold, there are some
growers who refused to sell at prices
offered. These preferred waiting until
they could show what they have been
stripping. They are located all over
the county and so scattered that it
would not pay packers to make hunt
for them.
Now that stripping is general, the
delivery will be rapid, and the familiar
sight will be witnessed daily, of long
lines of teams waiting at the various
warehouses TO deliver their loads. The
delivery of the tobacco means the re-
ceipt Of an immense amount of money
by the growers. Outside of compar-
ativeIy small sum spent for commercial
fertilizers, Lancaster ccunty's tobacco
money is salted right down in Lancas-
ter county. That is why this is the

VIROoUA. Wis. Jan. 6. 191

On Monday morning the big Bekke-
dal tobacco warehouse will open for the
winters run of sorting and casing the
1915 crop. The Bekkedal representa-
tives here succeeded in buying practic-
ally as many acres as last season, which
means winters run. None but lady
sizers will be employed, men being
used for the heavier work. Those de-
string work should make arrangements
beforehand orreport at the warehouse
Monday morning. Old sorters pre-
ferred.
None of the other packers are ready
to announce their plans at present.
We have had case period of late suf-
ficient so that big end of the crops
should be off the poles. Censor.

NEW YORK, Jan. 8, 1916.
A lively or even moderately active
business can hardly be expected in the
first week Of the new year. The week
is chiefly devoted to stock taking and
as both manufacturers and leaf mer-
chants are engaged in the unavoidable
inventory muss they are neither in
mood nor disposition to talk Of business
ventures. Whatever activity there was
in the market was restricted to the
shipping of orders contracted for and
filed in the closing weeks of last year.
