LONDON, December "s.--The battle
of the Sommc is pictured as a sweep
ms triumph for entente allied arms
In detailed report by General Sir
Douglas auiI which was issued to-
night. and which covers operations
from July TO November Is.

armies were saved from complete coli

protracted period of unfavora bic

allies are fighting have been attained,
but the Sonlmc battle has placed be.
yond doubt the ability Of the allies Ia
gain those objects. The German army
is ,hc ra:nstay OF the central powers.
and u full half OF that army suffered
dcf"at On the Sommc this year.
Neither rictors nor vanouiShed will
forget this. and. although bad weather
has given the enemy respite, Their,
are undoubtedly many thousand in his
ranks who will begin the ncw cam

NEW YORK, March 25, 1916

NEW YORK, March 70, 1916.
Disappointment was the feature of
the market this week at the receipt of
the news from the first inscription last
week. The disappointment made itself
felt at both the comparatively small
quantity taken for the American mar
ket and at the report of the high prices
which ruled for desirable American
marks. Contrary to all expectations
only 2, 400 bales were taken by Ameri-
can purchasers and the bulk of it is
credited to but one American importer
and one American cigar manufacturing
firm. AS the stock of old Sumatra is
very low in both the hands of importers
and manufacturers it was naturally
supposed that there would he tre-
mepdous onrush of buying at the first
inscription. What the reasons were of
this exceptional abstinence of the
American buyers and why despite the
comparatively small acquisition prices
should have ruled high, may remain
unexplained till the situation is more
fully ventilated by the arrival of mail.
AS Sumatra is very badly needed in
this market the deficiency of the ac-.
QUESTION at the first inscription may
scription, the result of which may pre-
mean while our holders of domestic
Shadegrown leaf are jubilant. For they
reckon, aud justly SO, that with an in
sufficient supply OF Sumatra, or with
prices ruling above the possibility for
its general use, their own product
would be bound to soar both in price
and usefulness. The general activity
of the market, however, was limited.
In no available type is there any plen-
tiful quantity for speculative or invest.
ment purposes. The rapid movement
in the 1909 Pennsylvania, Of which first
notice was made in this space last
week, has for the present come to a
standstill because of the sudden ad
vance of that stuff by two cents a
pound. But probably the most refresh
ing news for the trade will prove the
official figures on the output of our to-
bacco industries for the month of Feb
ruary. These figures show an increase
of over sixty-fve millions in the output
of large cigars which might appear but
short of marvellous, considering the
fetters by which nearly all commerce
and business throughout the country
during the entire month was tied up
under the most restrictive weather
conditions which had paralyzed all
transportation and commercial activity.
If then, in spite of these severe and
uncomfortable handicaps, the cigar in
dustry showed an increase of over
sixty-fve millions it is safe to calculate
on not only a steady but even on extra
ordinary advances with the advent of
the open season, now due. journal.

EDGERToN. WIS.,, March 81, 1916.
There is still little scattering buy
ing done in the remnants of the 1915
crop yet remaining in the country dis
tricts, but the fraction left is so small
that trading must soon cease altogeth-
er, and the crop is as thoroughly lifted
as ever before at this date. The most
of the deliveries are now made and the
proceeds, whatever it may be, in the
hands of the growers. There is some
warehouse work yet to be done but the
season at all the handling points will
be short one.
The most important sale of old leaf
in some weeks has been closed with
the Tuckett Cigar Co. of Canada by
Conway Bros. and N. T.. Carrie & Son,
amounting to about 6O0cs of IA goods.
So far there are no indications of an
early spring and nothing done towards
preparing the seed beds for another
crop.
The shipments out of storage reach
450cs to all points since last report.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Mar. 21, 19.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Mar. 2i, 1916.
At this season, when preparations
are ordinarily being made for spring
blowing, the Connecticut Valley tobac-
co belt is covered with from two to
four feet of snow. So large body of
snow throughout the New England to-
bacco district at this date is new ex-
perience to the present generation.
The thermometer went below zero IN
Massachusetts towns Friday of last
week. Conditions are ideal for hauling
fertilizer but much delay is being ex-
perienced in getting shipments which
were promised weeks ago. Unless
freight congestion is speedily relieved,
many growers will be under a serious
handicap. In ordinary years growers
begin to prepare seed beds the last of
March and the young plants make their
appearance before the middle of April.
The long winter may not presage a
backward spring, but it does threaten
to delay preliminaries.
Notwithstanding some activity on the
part of buyers, there is still large
amount of 1915 tobacco in growers
hands. It is said that growers with
unsold crops are now disposed to place
a conservative valuation on their hold
ings.
The writer knows personally of a
number of firms which for years have
made liberal packings of New England
tobacco, but which have virtually not
entered the market for the new crop.
Buyers complain Of the quality and in
sist that some crops which were bought
at seemingly bargain prices will not
pay the cost of handling. 1t is asserted
that there is hardly packing house in
the Valley which has not received to-
bacco, supposedly of good quality, which
when taken from the bundle has proven
sheer trash.

SLUCCED AND ROBBED
Edwin Catlin Found Unconscious
and Almost Frozen. ~.

Edwin Catlin, superintendent of the
OskaloOsa Bindery, was found uncon.
scious, lying face down in the snow
near the front Of the Sam .Wafthall
property on A avenue east, about 500
o'clock this morning He was pick
ed up by night police Henry Munsel
and John p. Wilson and taken to the
Abbott hospital
Examination at the hospital reveal
ed large bruised place on the right
side of the forehead, near the right
temple, and the superstition is that
the young man was slugged and
robbed. He was known to have had
a new gold watch in his possession d.
The watch and some money and 9th
er valuables he had on his person are
missing.
Further examination OF the young
man disclosed the fact that fingers
and feet were frozen or frost bitten.
There is probability that he had been
lying in the spot for some time.
Neighbors. heard the moaning for a
half hour or more before they inves-
tiaated and then two men with Ian
terms arrived to help.
Edwin Catlin's parents stated that
the young man announced his inten-
tons of working at the bindery fol-
lowing the supper hour and as he was
found in his working clothes, this
would indicate that he had worked
late and was going to his down town
room at J. w. Shreve's residence, 215
North Third street e-- s...'.' .s.'
Inquiry at the Shreve home has
disclosed the fact that the watch in
question was left in the room and so
was not taken from the body by sup
posed robbers. Whether he had
money on his person is not known.
and may only be learned when the
young man regains consciousness
DR.. A. c. Abbott of the Abbott-Wil-
cox Hospital said that the wound on
Catlin's head was very much like the
wound caused by a sand. bag and
stated that he believes that the young
man has been slugged.
No cry of pain was heard by those
in. the vicinity of the accident that
Would in any way lead to solution
of the incident
Catlin is a young man of exemplary
habits and so far as is known was in
excellent health at the time He
might have slipped ON the ice and fall
len, but an examination OF the place
failed to reveal anything that could
have struck the head to cause the
bruised spot
At two O'clock this afternoon, Cat
lin seemed to be slowly regaining
consciousness, but not enough to be
able to inform the authorities of his
condition. Il
