NEW YORK STATE. Wanted, warm
weather and sunshine at once. Re-
ward, good crop. And, kind reader,
il we do not get it mighty soon you
can take my word that we will not have
any tobacco crops in this section. am
writing from the best tobacco growing
section in this county and have seen all
the tobacco beds around the section,
and they are simply as poor as can be
on account of the bad weather that has
been prevailing, The plants are very,
very small, and from present conditions
the outlook is very poor. We do not
know whether we will have crop here
or not, it all depending on the weather,
which of late has been very bad. You
know a good plant is really half Of the
tobacco raising, and a look at the
plants today mrkes tobacco grower
feel discouraged.

LANCASTER, Pa, June II, 1917.
The cigarmakers' strike at York,
part Of the Ninth district, appears to
have collapsed under the threat OF fac
tories shutting down. Apparently it
has dawned upon the cigarmakers that
manufacturers would prefer to keep
running, if possible, but not if they had
to lose money. The outcome of the
York strike has had the effect of re-
lieving the tension here among the
manufacturers, sore beset as they were
by the troubles confronting them. The
Lancaster cigarmakers are, apparently,
not disposed to force an issue at pres
ent on the wage question.
Not yet has Lancaster county>s new
tobacco crop been planted. But soon!
Providing weather conditions continue
favorable. Plentiful rains and warm
sunshine have developed the tender
plants lately amazingly and some of
the growers have planted. But the
number is not large. More will plant
the coming week than planted last
week. But lot of planting will not
be done until June is pretty well adj
vanced. 1t has been the most back
ward spring in this section for some
years, and that is saying something,
because for some years the spring has
been where the summer should have
been.

NEW YORK, June 16, 1917.


The leaf market is all expectation as
to the outcome on Friday next of the
first inscription of Sumatra inaugurated
in this country. The most elaborate
preparations have been made to dupl1-
cate here the historic method Of the in
scriptions abroad, according to the
elaborate description published in an
other part of this issue. Not the least
detail seems to have been omitted to
make the first inscription of Sumatra
the exact counterpart of what has been
unique in the disposal of tobacco since
Sumatra was first raised and intro
duced in Holland for sale. The partic-
ipations at this inscription will undoubt-
edly be record breaking for there will
hardly be prominent cigar manufac-
turer or cigar leaf dealing firm that
will not be represented in attendance.
The full description given of these pre-
parations will convey the assurance OF
thoroughly fair dealing. That the to-
bacco offered is needed and badly need
ed, there cannot be the least doubt,
and so the unique event of an Ameri-
can tobacco inscription will be epoch
making. In the meanwhile, business
moves along in tally with the demand.
The continued enormous increase IN
the output of our cigar industry cannot
but reflect most favorably on the con-
dition of the leaf market. j Journal.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. WIS.,. June 20. f917.

EDGERTON, WIS. June ZZ, 1917.
Wisconsin tobacco growers are now
busily engaged in transplanting the
1917 crop into the fields. The temper
ature of the week, however, has been
rather too cool to bring along the plants
as rapidly as desired to hasten the
planting. There is scarcity, too, of
plants on many farms that will have a
tendency to delay the transplanting but
good start has been made throughout
all tobacco growing sections and from
this On growers will be putting in long
hours in the fields until the crop is
safely pitched. The soil is generally in
fine tilth and with sufficient moisture
to secure a good stand of living plants.
A few warm days will bring along the
belated beds so the coming week,
weather permitting, will see the bulk
of the crop transplanted in the fields.
There is little work yet to be COM
pleted at the packing houses before the
close of the warehouse season, and the
help as fast as released is largely being
employed in stemming, to be carried
on during the summer.
The market furnishes but little news
to relate. A. Jenson & Son have sold
their 1916 packing Of some 800 cases to
Hart & Murphy, st. Paul manufactur-
ers.
The shipments out of storage reach
200 cases from this market to all
points since last report.
