WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS. Feb. 8, 1917.

EDGERTON, Wis, Feb. 8, 1917.
Winter still holds its grasp on the
country while the tobacco growers are
anXiously awaiting for mild tempera-
lures that might bring casing weather.
Nothing further can be done toward
preparing the balance of the crop for
market until soft weather comes. In
the meantime packing operations are
being handicapped more or less. Some
concerns have closed down, others are
working short handed and all are fast
approaching time when they must
suspend, for part crops are being re-
ceived to keep the warehouses running.
The amount of the '16 crop remaining
unsold in growers hands is the small
est ever known st this time of year.
Contracts cover practically everything
produced.
Except there is an active demand for
old tobacco of all descriptions the local
markets have developed no news of i'm
portance.
A few shipments out of storage have
been put under way but conditions are
still congested in the east.

NEW OEh, Z 0D. ., lSI(.
A new sensation struck the leaf mar
ket this week, the submarine blockade
announced by Germany. The extent
and ruthlessness intended to carry out
this blockade would result in tying up
almost completely any pruchase or i'm
port of the Sumatra crop that was to
be put up at the inscriptions this year.
None of our Sumatra importers will
risk his life under the strenuous con-
ditions laid down to attend the coming
Inscriptions if these inscriptions should
take place, which is very doubtful now
anyhow Nor would there be any pos
sibility of shipping the Sumatra from
Holland to this country. In fact, the
new blockade announcement forbodes
complete stoppage of intercourse be-
tween this country and Europe. Some
manufacturers who have already real
lied the serious situation have swooped
down on the market and secured of the
old stock of Sumatra whatever they
could. Quite boom was therefore
sweeping the market in search for SUI
matra. Prices were no object only if
the desirable stock could be acquired.
And as it is reliably estimated that
there are no more than $500 to 5000
bales of Sumatra on hand, it will not
take many weeks to clean it out and
the Sumatra using cigar industry will
be facing a Sumatra famine That this
prospect will also have it's effect on the
domestic wrapper leaf market in an
other price boost is but natural. Next
to Sumatra there is scramble going
on for the new Remedies. One import
ing house disposed of 5000 bales of it's
packings this week, and other Havana
importers are likewise disposing of
their new importations in considerable
quantities. journal.

NEW YORK. Jan. 81. 1917.

Never in the history of the tobacco
trade have old stocks been so low, the
demand for both filler and binder so
great and prices SO high, particularly
with regard to an early supply of fill
ers. Outside of few large manufac-
turing concerns, which have covered
their needs through timely purchases,
the daily increasing shortage is assum-
ing a serious aspect to many of our
medium sized factories, and to most of
the smaller factories the situa ton is
alarming. Stocks in the hands of the
tobacco dealers and jobbers have been
reduced to a minimum and cannot be
replenished until the 1916 crop is ready
for work. The causes producing this
grave state of affairs have been slowly
developing during the past few years
and hyve been accentuated the past
year by the exceedingly small yield of
the 1915 crop, the comparatively great
er amount demanded for export pur-
poses, the increasing inroads upon the
cigar leaf supply by the manufacturers
Of smoking and chewing tobacco and
the growing consumption of our cigar
industry. In short, the demand has far
outrun the supply. The natural result
is the highest prices ever paid to the
farmers for our domestic output in the
1916 crop, which, as regards yield, is,
with few exceptions, anything but
abundant and distinct disappointment
to our packers. A logical and safe
conclusion to draw is that there is ev-
cry guarantee for a continuation of the
present high level of prices in the cost
of the raw material for the next few
seasons. An increasing acreage with
favored crops is absolutely essential to
re-establish the proper equilibrium and
restore standard values, which at best
can only be slow process.-Leaf.

LANCASTER, Pa, Jan. 81, ]

LANCASTER, IA, d al. 81, 1911.
The top-notch price in the 1916 crop
of this county was reached last week
when P. E. Slaynaker, president of
the Peoples Trust Co., Lancaster, sold
from his farm in Paradise township
four acres at 20a and 10, or approx
mately $400 an acre. The purchaser
was Aaron Hoober. The general un-
derstanding has been that very little of
the new crop remains in the hands of
the growers, but from reports received
last week it is apparent that there is
considerable unsold tobacco, though it
is so scattered about the county that it
would not pay the representatives of
big concerns to go hunting after it.
And as matter of course local pack
ers will not hunt for it because they
don't want it. Tobacco for which the
owners are now demanding 19 and 20
cents has no attraction for buyers who
baked at 153 and is cents. The only
way tine unsold crops can be sold now is
for the holders to notify the represent
atives of big concerns as to their hold
ings, and they will find buyer if the

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

Prof E. G. Beinhart, connected with
the tobacco investigation division of
the Department of Agriculture, was in
the state in conference with Prof.
James Johnson, of the university ex-
perimental station, regarding some re-
search work that will be taken up in
Wisconsin this season. A portion of
the appropriation passed by congress
for scientific investigation on the to-
bacco subject has been assigned to this
state. Prof. Beinhart has been desig-
mated to the work in Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Wisconsin and the purpose of
his visit was to determine what lines
would be followed. It is possible that
the excess moisture content in tobacco
in relation to black rot may be the sub
ject of one of the experiments con-
Quoted. For one the writer is glad to
learn that the Wisconsin tobacco inter-
ests have been recognized as proper
field for governmental exploration and
we are confident that the work of their
scientists will accomplish something of
value to the state. The work of Prof.
Beinhart late years has been confined
to the Connecticut Valley where the
culture of shade grown tobacco has
reached large proportions.

Pretty nearly everybody in Water
street is tremendously interested in the
international developments of the last
few days, no matter whether he has
any tobacco entering the Port or not.
The importers, particularly the Suma-
ira contingent, are in suspense, even
the Havana people, whose goods come
by coastwise steamer, wondering
whether or not the alleged flock of
submarines lowering about the Hook
will have enough discretion to distin-
guish a neutral coaster from muni-
tion-laden transatlantic vessel. The
domestic traders are pondering upon
possible stoppage of all importations
for few months, which will put do
mestic types of leaf into even greater
demand than they are now. Generally
speaking, the trade which deals in the
basic element of the entire cigar indus
try, leaf tobacco, is vitally concerned
with the impending crisis. The situa-
tion that promises to prevail when the
time comes for American importers to
go abroad is similarly shrouded in
doubt. Germany has said that one
vessel a week, under neutral guaran-
ties, may go from New York to Fal-
mouth henceforward but nobody in Su-
matra importing circles wants to go to
Falmouth just for the sake of being
that much nearer the prospective April
inscriptions in Amsterdam. The alb
sence of American importers, more
over, will assuredly bring about COM
plete postponement of the Dutch sales
until such time as America can be rep
resented, it is pointed out further. So
far as the actual severance of our Dip
lomatic relations with the Teutonic
powers is concerned Stocks of Su-
matra, as well as other types of leaf,
now in this country are exceedingly
low and the sentiment in Water street
is that they should be conserved uni
formly until the danger is past, SO that
they may be made to last as long as
possible for the cigar manufacturers.
On the other hand, the cigar manufac-
turers see no prospect OF special
Providence appearing to divide existing
stocks share and -Share-alike for them,
and many are exerting every effort to
grab whatever they can get, on the
safety first principle. N. Z. Tob.

There seems to be some sort of con-
firmation of the truth of the question
raised in this column several months
ago if there was not concerted eff
fort among the frst-hand ~manufactur-
ers and larger operators to control the
1916 cigar tobacco crop at whatever
price had to be paid for it, in the pres
ent condition Of the Pennsylvania mar
ket below descri5ed ''Is an attempt
being made to effect corner in Penn
sylvania goods?" is a question which
many packers are discussing these
days. They realize that the big out
side concerns have purchased at least
rs 5sper cent of the 1915 crop which, of
course, will not be available for the de-
mands of the trade. 1t is in the re-
mainder that the interest lies. This
probably amounts to fifteen thousand
cases. julius Marqusee and the Spitz-
ners have been heavy buyers and prob
ably between them have the greater
portion of the crop which the big man
a1facturing concerns did not pick up,
and it will be to them that the small
manufacturer will of necessity look for
their supplies of tobacco. Like buying
a pig in bag is the action of the pack
ers who havesbeen going around pick
ing up all the packings they could Sc
cure. Even the original buyer in many
cases has not had the goods delivered
to him yet. In other years it has been
the custom of the second buyer to go
from farm to farm to see the goods
which the first man purchased before
buying his contract, but that policy did
not prevail this year, the second buyer
basing his Judgment on the basis of
other years. This is the first time in
the history of the tobacco business here
that any departure was made from the
old policy and well illustrates how anx-
ious are some people to obtain the 1916
goods.
