LANCASTER, Pa, Nov. 8, 1916

LANCASTER, IA, NOV. 8, 1910.
Any dealer here having tobacco of
any kind can sell it. Even the 1909 is
going and only few thousand cases
are left. Recently some of this has
brought Is cents pound. And little
more than year ago it was selling at
half that figure Cheap tobacco does
not deserve that name any longer, for
there really is no cheap tobacco any
more.
It will be a matter of surprise to the
outside trade to learn that some of our
leading packers do not have even a
pound of the new crop. When asked
why they did not secure any OF it, the
reply was that they considered the
prices it sold at so much out of reason
for dealer that it would prove poor
investment. A year from now it would
have to sell at so high price to bring
a decent profit that the average manu-
facturer could not afford to touch it.
Old goods such as are left have climbed
to about the point the 1916 will have to
sell at to be money maker, and any
number of manufacturers are fighting
shy of them. 1t just means that they
cannot buy goods and will in time close
their factories. The coming winter
will see the shutting down of numerous
factories in this county. The local
packers who are not in the market this
season say they have calculated that in
the long run they will be better off by
skipping a year than if they invested
in 1916. Such a cleaned-out market
Lancaster never knew before. The
matter most regretted by our packers
is that they sold most of their goods
before the era of high prices arrived.
Not much of the 1916 crop remains
unsold and this is being pretty closely
looked after. A few growers managed
to get the 18 or 20 cents they were
looking for, but most of the sales late
ly reported were below the II mark.
The result will be largely increased
acreage next year, provided labor con-
ditions do not grow worse. Ordinary
farm laborers cost the farmer as much
as So day and board, and this is one
reason such high prices were asked for
tobacco

No serener atmosphere ever prevail
ed in the leaf tobacco market than it
does at present Not even in the
blessed Mckinley year when fortunes
were made over night. But then the
fortunes were accumulated only by
handful of Sumatra importers, while
now fortunes are in vision of holders
of any kind or type of domestic cigar
leaf and particularly of domestic filler
leaf. This vision was strengthened by
the exclusive publication in last week
issue of the Census report giving fig
ures of cigar leaf held by the leaf
trade as we'll as the cigar manufactur-
ers on October /, with the comparison
of stock held on the same day year
ago. These Census figures showed a
shortage of over fifty-six million pounds
Of cigar leaf against the quantity held
on October l, last year. Inasmuch as
the entire consumption of cigar leaf
amounted to about one hundred and
fifty-six millions last year, the Census
figures show that our cigar industry is
short one third of it's absolutely neces-
sary raw material. Of course, the leaf
packers and merchants were aware of
the gradual decrease of stock. But it
ia different thing to be told so by the
man who wants to sell leaf than when
the fact is published broadcast on the
result of official investigation by the
United States Tobacco Journal On
seeing these tell-tale figures in print
some hustling was done in the market
to get hold of whatever old stock could
be acquired. One of the chief trans
actions was a sale of $50 cases of 1915
Pennsylvania at 25 cents and the pur-
chaser is reported to have been offered
Immediately profit of SIS per case for
a resale. Evidently the price of the
Pennsylvania is liable to go up to 80
cents during next year and all other
filler types are likely to appreciate also
proportionately in value. journal.

EDGERToN, Wis, Nov. II, 1916.
A cold wave that with near zero
weather early in the week brought
freezing conditions needed to make the
hanging tobacco crop ready for strip
ping. The next casing spell that brings
the leaf into pliable condition will see
quite a portion of the crop removed
from the sheds and stripping under
way. The growers have their other
farm work so we'll in hand that they
will be able to turn their attention
towards preparing the crop for market.
If good tobacco damp should come
within the next few weeks the farmers
may be able to handle considerable of
the proceeds in their holiday shopping.
There is but little doing towards lifting
the few remaining remnants of the '16
crop.
The only sale of old leaf coming to
notice is a 470cs lot of Is sold by A.
Jenson & Sons to Spitzner, and 2O0cs
of II packing of 0. C. Moen to an
Ohio concern. Otherwise small trad,
ing is the order Of the day. The P.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The Census report of leaf tobacco in
hands of dealers and manufacturers on
October /, in comparison with that of
a year ago, reveals tremendous short
age Of raw materials. In cigar leaf
types there was shrinkage of nearly
two million pounds in Connecticut
Broadleaf, about the same quantity in
New England Havana seed, and over
two hundred and eighty-one thousand
in Shadegrown leaf. The shrinkage in
New York leaf amounted to about nine
hundred thousand pounds, in Ohio leaf
to fifteen million pounds, in Wisconsin
leaf tc nineteen million pounds and in
Pennsylvania leaf to over twenty-six
million pounds. These statistics not
abundant reason for q decided advance
in cigar leaf. Facing these figures,
manufacturers can hardly expect to
buy their leaf the coming year at old
prices, and the most serious difficulty
will be to find the quantity needed even
at the advanced figures because there
draw from. It looks like hard year
III SIOIS IOI CIlS SIAidlIcI CI.
But from a tobacco growers stand
point the outlook for remunerative
prices the coming season were never
brighter. Wisconsin might safely pro-
duce $4,000 acres the coming season
with assurance of obtaining prices
equal to those of 1916.
*M*
The question is raised as to why Eng
land should buy its cigar leaf tobacco
through Holland instead of buying it
direct. A prominent leaf packer,
speaking of this matter, said: Until
about twenty years ago, England
bought it's cigar leaf tobacco here, but
we lost this trade because of the high
cost of stripping. England wants this
tobacco dry and stripped, and at one
time there were numerous stripping
plants in Wisconsin and other cigar
leaf growing states that supplied the
English market. The wages of the
strippers increased over here until
there was no money in it. Holland
could buy the tobacco and import it
into Holland and strip it there much
cheaper than we could strip it here,
and consequently we lost the business.
In view of the high wage scale that is
now prevailing here and likely to pre-
vail here for long time to come, | am
afraid there is not much chance Of our
getting it back again soon"

The high mark on time money in
