Chance for a Press Agent.

What a mafinificent opportunity for
real press agent, Why. even a fair
ly competent cub reporter could have
written more cheerful communione
without adding to or distorting the
facts at hand.
A possible explanation is that Bal
four was so obsessed by previous pub
lie criticisms of the official proneness
to withhold unfavorable news that he
determined in this case to let the wors,
be known at once.
The unfavorable effect upon the
public was immediate. The next dav
British papers were filled with bitter
comment and gloomy forebodings. The

ANGV SAsAA, = C%A'' ~, AO1O'
The cheerful temperament animating
unabated our leaf market may be ac-
counted for by the sudden boom that
struck our cigar industry in the closing
two months of last year. From the
slump in which the cigar industry
found itself at the start of last year,
and into which it sank deeper and
deeper with every succeeding month,
it suddenly rose, truly Phoenix-like, in
the month of November, kept it's growth
in December and closed the year with
an increase of over hundred and sixty
millions, wiping out not only the def
cheney of eight months, but leaving the
year with even a surplus of forty-four
millions. The month of November ID
generally one Of the busiest for the
cigar industry and so is half of Decem-
Der, but the latter half of that month
generally slackens as the holiday trade
has by that time been fully supplied.
But last year the demand seems to
have been kept up in full strength till
the very last day and even with the
rushed supplies there seems to have
been carried over no surplus stock, as
our correspondents from all the leading
centers report continued active busi-
ness in cigar demands. Consequently,
the leaf market is experiencing contin-
ued demand for leaf supplies. The
Florida packers are therefore begin
ming to utilize their opportunity in Of
fering their new Shadegrown crops
which are being heralded as one of the
best ever raised. The offer is likely to
find immediate response. The Sumatra
importers are also likely to meet with
a quick disposal Of their new importa-
tions. For the assured increase in our
large cigar output will require far
larger supply of wrapper leaf of all the
varieties raised and imported than has
been the case for at least the past two
or three years. And SO it will be with
all our other types traded in this mar
ket.-Journal.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, Feb. A, 1916.

EDGERTON, WIS.,, Feb. A, 1916.
There has been considerable revival
of the buying movement in nearly all
sections of late sbut as heretofore the
great bulk of the sales are on stem
ming goods basis around six cents.
The estimate is made by those in posi-
tion to keep tab on the movement that
better than two-thirds of the crop is
already contracted for and if the pres
ent rate of buying continues in short
time the crop will be closely gathered
in. Several new buyers for the cheap
er grades have taken the field, adding
little more life to the trading.
The crop is being literally delivered
now at the receiving points as stripping
is quite generally completed. Ware
house handling of the better grades Of
the crop is under way with moderate
forces at few of the market points,
but packing operations promise to be
of short duration this season.
No news of Importance has developed
in the market for old leaf, transactions
being of small order nature.
The shipments out of storage reach
750 cases and car loads of bundles to
all points since last report.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Jan. rs, 1916

OPRlNGFlELD, MASS, Jan. 70, 1910.
The scarcity of tobacco buyers who
are disposed to do any thing is almost as
pronounced in the Connecticut valley
as the shortage of help in the ware
houses was earlier in the season. The
growers find that in many instances it
is impossible to interest buyers at any
price The run of unmarketed tobacco
is moving, it is said, at from 8 to IL
cents pound in the bundle. Only a
few crops are being bought at better
than II cents. 1t is only fair, however,
to state in this connection that the best
crops were in most instances bought
months ago.
The rain at the weekend enabled
growers to take down considerable
amount of tobacco, but the damp was
of too short duration to permit the TAX
ing down of more than small part of
the tobacco which is still outside the
bundle.
A larger number of growers than US
ual will have their tobacco cased to
hold for higher prices which they be-
lieve are inevitable. This procedure,
however, requires capital. incidentally,
with general business at flood tide,
money is none too abundant in the to-
bacco belt. The returns from the 1915
crop have been smaller than usual and
the amount of unsold tobacco is the
largest at this season in a decade.
Added to this is the certainty that the
cost of raising the 1916 crop will top all
previous high marks. Labor and fer
tilizers have reached new mark and
growers of shaded tobacco face high
prices for lumber and cloth. as we'll as
for labor and fertilizers.

VIRoQUA, WIS, Jan. 26, 1916.

Case weather of last week was most
welcome, giving growers chance to
complete taking down their crops, and
all are busy stripping and bundling.
Deliveries have been quite heavy for
some days, Bekkedal receiving, while a
considerable amount of hail and frosted
goods were shipped out
Bekkedal's working crew is now
nearly full. Soldiers Grove, Westby
and some houses in surrounding towns
have opened.
Considerable riding by buyers is be-
ing done in the country districts, pick
ing up good and damaged crops. Cen
sor.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1916-02-04

Information has been received from
Ruthven, Ontario, located in the Wind
sor consular district, that large loads
of the Warne variety of tobacco are
being delivered to the buyers at Lean
ington every day, and as the prices
range from twenty to thirty cents a
pound, quite number of the growers
receive as high as $1,000 for single
large load. All of the Warne variety
which was grown on sand is a nice
bright yellow, which is always sold at
a higher price than the dark-colored
varieties, which are usually grown on
clay soil. Quite a large acreage of
Burley tobacco was grown in this dis
trict. which is now being stripped and
put up in bales, the bulk of which is
already sold at a fair price. A few
growers have received fourteen cents a
pound for a first-class variety, while
many others have sold at eleven and
twelve cents. A large acreage will be
grown here next season of both Warne
and Burley.
