Chicago. Feb. 4-Wheat-Buying by
commission houses and partiru larly by
those whose recent seaboard interests
were featured in a sharply higher mar
ket early. A large part OF the advance
was lost when an unconfrmed runor
was circulated in regard to possible
political complications arising over the
Lusitania affair Most Of the break
was occasioned by pressure from local
traders and their selling on the break
was absorbed again by commission
houses and cash interests. BY mid way
the market was showing signs of
strength and values were ADVANCING :
sharp advance in Liverpool and bull
tsh report by the Modern Miller on
winter wheat conditions were inpor-
tant Items in steadying the market
Corn-1ncreased consignment notices
and the early strength in wheat were
reflected in corn. but the advance failed
to hold. Argentine shipments were
somewhat heavier than expected. Local
sentiment is. for the most part bear
ish.
Oats-Demand for cash oats was
quiet, and futures were within mar
row range. There was some good buy
ing Of May by cash interests and in
dustries, while local traders were bear
ishly disposed on the breaks

of domestic crop damage led to a de-
Cided upturn today in the value of

was explained by Liverpool dispatches
saying that supplies continued to be Of

existed for all grades. Messages ex-
pressing apprehension as 10 the likE-
hood of crop injury came chiefly from
Illinois, Missouri and Indiana Open

gains
Prices closed steady at cent net
advance with May at l,3+ and July
at 1.25I2.

NEW YORK, March II, 1916.

There is nothing of any consequence
to report of the weeks business in the
leaf market. Business consisted most
ly in pickings, while the larger con-
Germ of the packer is concentrated spec
ulatively on developing maturity of the
new crop. And opinions on this point
are so at variance that no practical
conclusions can be drawn as to whose
views are to be realized in the end. 1t
is idle therefore to give vent to i'm
pressions formed by those whom the
wish is father to the thought. Even 1t
the crops do not turn out right in every
respect, the prospects for large de-
mand are such that imperfections will
prove less of detriment than the ne
cessity of acquisition. The returns of
the cigar output in some of the largest
producing districts for the month of
February testify to healthy advance
in the production, despite the extreme
handicap of the unfavorable weather
conditions during the month. If then,
with the opening of spring, the freedom
of trade movements and transports
is restored, the cigar industry is bound
to progress with rapid strides. Then it
will be merely question of what leaf
supply can be had and not whether
that supply is mathematically or meta,
phorically suitable to the most fastid-
ious taste. The first brisk movement,
however, is to be expected in the new
Sumatra importations and the result of
the first inscription that will take place
the end of next week is naturally ex-
pected with the greatest solicitude

NEW YORK. March /. 1916.

There has been a demand for old
Wisconsin BIS and binders, but very
little stock is to be had. The trade at
large is rather dubious of the 1915 Wis
consin. The crop has no gum or body,
and heats very quickly, and in crops of
this sort, damage is apt to be found.
There haseagain been some buying of
the 1915 Connecticut Broadleaf, but the
bulk of the crop still remains with the
farmers. The same is true of the Ha-
vana Seed. Prices are still higher
than the packers feel they ought to
pay. Buying in Ohio is Stacking up,
and the. farmers are anxious as to
their Zimmer Spanish, much of which
remains in their hands. Little Dutch
has been about cleaned up, and the bet
ter portion Of the Gebhardt is gone.
Prices were high. Some Pennsylvania
has changed hands recently. The 1915
crop is about cleaned up. The new
crops that are left are being held by
the farmers at about 12c. LEAF.
