NEW YORK. Feb. 9. 1916.

Within the past ten days a movement
has been going on in Connecticut with
respect to Broadleaf that nearly par
allels the circumstances under which
the Lancaster crop was taken up last
fall. It will be remembered that the
intentions of the packers, SO far as
may be judged by their actions, had
been to wait until the Lancaster county
tobacco was in bundles and then buy
leisurely and with due forethought. 1t
will also be remembered that when one
or two concerns started buying, others
fell in line, and that a scramble, ensued
in which the farmers were paid several
cents pound more than anyone
thought, three months ago, they would
get for their crop Barring the fact
that the Connecticut Broadleaf has
reached the bundle stage, what has
taken place in Connecticut in the past
week and half is an exact duplication
of last falls operations in Lancaster
county, Pa. One or two firms started
the buying after long deadlock had
ensued; others fell in line, and there
has been hot competition. AS is usual
in such circumstances, the farmers
have reaped the benefit Most of the
tobacco has been taken at nearly 30
cents, and for some crops as high as 81
cents have been paid. The buying
movement is still proceeding, though
slightly retarded owing to the fact that
a large quantity of tobacco has been
taken out of the market, and at the
present time it bids fair to continue SC
long as there is any tobacco left. Leaf.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, Wis, Feb. Is, 1916.

EDGERTON, WIS, Feb. 1S, 1916.
Buyers have been drilling pretty
steadily about the growing districts of
late and the movement is sweeping up
the remaining portion of the crop rap
idly. The slight advance which the
low grade buyers are permitted to
make has helped along the trading,
while there is considerable more activ-
ity for something that might go over
the sorting tables for binder purposes,
which together gives more life to the
market than any time since early fall.
For the latter class of crops 10c and lie
are being paid where neither frost or
storm damage appears. There is force
enough now behind the movement to
clean up the unsold portion in short
order.
Deliveries have been heavy at nearly
all the receiving points during the
week and considerably over half the
crop is now out of growers hands.
Old leaf continues to move steadily
out of packers hands. We note the
sale of 400cs lot of IA by Sam Grun-
dy, GAINESVILLE dealer, 265cs lot by the
Atlas Tobacco Co. of Sun Prairie and
125cs lot by Barnard & I4ibbey, Evans
vile.
The shipments out of storage reach
8OOcs and Is car loads of bundles since
last report.

NEW YORK. Feb. IL, 1916.

There seems to have been a lull IN
the New York leaf market during the
week However, this condition has
not in any way indicated poor business.
Rather, it appears that activity has
shifted from the local center to Cuba
and Connecticut, in which markets the

respondents note transactions of such
size and Importance as have not been
equalled at this time in any recent
year. In cigar manufacturing centers,
production is keeping up at rate
which surpasses the output of this time
year ago and this goes far to support
local leaf merchants in confident
frame of mind that will be justified,
beyond doubt, by continuously good
business. The American contingent
that will soon leave these shores for
Holland, to attend the Sumatra in
scriptions at Amsterdam, is on edge, in
keen anticipation of coming events.
Manufacturers of Sumatra-wrapped ci-
gars will soon be hankering for new
raw material, which twill be the pur-
pose of these tourists to provide. Com

ira are in importers hands. Brisk COM

Pennsylvania.
LANCASTER, Pa, Feb. {

Business is good or slow, according
to the man you are talking to. The
local leaf trade is fair. Old goods are
scarce, what there is of them being of
the 1911, 1912 and 1913 crops with only
a trifie of 1914 left. And all are scarcer
every week. And because of the grow
ing scarcity prices have advanced about
a cent a pound. They may advance a
bit more before the goods are all gone,
but even so, this would not amount to
much, because nobody has large hold
ings of old goods, barring the 1909.
Manufacturers say that collections
are easier now, and their reason for
taking rosy view of the near future
is due to the fact that there are few
idle men,, at least in the Ninth district
and adjoining parts of the state, and
money is more plentiful. One thing
appears to have been overlooked in siz-
ing up the condition of the cigar indus
try and its prospects. We refer more
particularly to the manufacturers who
do not pack their own tobacco. What
will our manufacturers do when the
small stock of old goods held by local
packers is exhausted? No cheaper to-
bacco can be had; in fact, none nearly
so cheap, and none that will answer
their purpose as well.
So little of the 1915 crop remains un-
sold that it cuts no figure now, yet it
is worth mentioning that crops have

CHICKENS STOLEN
On WEST HILL

Police Officer Chestnut, residing
west Of st. Johns cemetery, reported
last night that during Saturday night
a thief entered the hen house of his
brother, residing in the game neigh
borhood, taking therefrom more than
half a dozen fat hens.
The matter was reported to the po-
lice department, and should the fowls
be offered for sale today will be the
only means of a clue to the chicken
thief.
The police received report of the
presence of a negro on North Guille-
marde street a short while ago, who
was offering turkeys at prices consid-
erably below the market price, but the
turkey dealer had vanished when a
mounted officer, who was sent to the
neighborhood, reached the home Of a
party who reported the presence and
suspicious actions of the negro.

PLEASING FEATURE

Much favorable comment was made
by delegates at the recent Highway
and Old Spanish Trail conventions,
which were held in Pensacola, and
delegates have expressed to VIM. H.
Herrider their deep appreciation in
the general interest in the county
schools in the good road work, but
more particularly were those dele
gates interested In the map of the Old
Spanish Trail which had been made,
and which was the product of pupils
of school No. 43, and also the interest
which was known to prevail in No. 2,
where the Old Spanish Trail song was

This map. the handiwork of the pu-
pills, who were ably coached by the all
the more interested teachers, has been
shown before, and every time it is
placed on exhibition, always attracts
a large share of favorable comment.
