NEW YORK. Oct. 10, 1917.

Business would ordinarily be called
good among the packers of domestic
leaf tobacco under the present circum-
stances. The demand for tobacco is SO
strong that any packer could with
greatest ease dispose Of his holdings in
any standard stocks without leaving his
office, and he could make good profit
on anything that he owns. But the
packers are in business for longer than
today, and to do this would place those
manufacturers who look to them for a
supply in very disagreeable position.
And the consequence is that the pack
ers are doing the best they know how
to distribute their holdings as fairly as
possible among the manufacturers who
have claim upon them, and in many
instances are not making as much
money as if they were selling to any
who came seeking. Leaf.

NEW YORK, Oct. 13, 1917.

O~~~~t -Ot
In the leaf tobacco market this week
one feature was uppermost in the
minds of all the leaf dealers. That was,
what the cigar industry proposes to do
insofar as overcoming not only the high
cost of raw material but the recently
added war tax as we'll as the additional
tax which is to be placed on tobacco
products in a little over fortnight
hence. There was once time when
the leaf merchants thought mostly of
their own salvation but today their
solicitation has turned toward the well
fare of the cigar industry. All their
voices rise as one when they dwell on
the cigar manufacturer plight and,
in contrast to this condition, directly
affecting them they see on all sides
what other industries are doing that
are operating under the same handi-
caps. Other industries are passing on
the increased cost, war tax, ETC., to
the consumer where it belongs, while
the cigar and allied industries are
foundering around not only in an un-
certain way, but dangerous one as
WELL That there is nothing on the hor
izon to indicate that the cost of raw
material will be reduced, as far as the
eye can see, is the foregone conclusion.
That the cost of labor will go up is al
most another certainty. That another
war tax will be added in perhaps
year from now is almost probability.
AS far as the state of the leaf to-
bacco market is concerned, the raw
material that remains in their hands
can be sold in twenty-four hours if the
dealers chose to do SO. What little re-
mains is being held not so much in
speculative way as it is with desire
on the part of the owners to remain in
the tobacco business. Hence they wish
to cling to the few pounds of tobacco
that still remain in their hands. That
is the condition, eliminating the frills
and furbelows, of our leaf market to-
day.-Journal.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, Oct. l9. 1877.

EDGERTON, WIS. Oct. 19, 1917.
The present week has brought sew
eral ideal Indian summer days that
have been of great assistance in the
curing of the late harvested portion of
the tobacco crop. A few growers, we
understand, are preparing to introduce
artificial heat in their curing sheds
should weather conditions not continue
as favorable. We are getting close to
the date when heavy freezes are liable
to come to injure the uncured leaf. and
much Of the late shielded crop is yet
as green as when harvested. What the
final fate Of such tobacco is uncertain.
The most Of the early fields are so well
cured down as to be beyond any danger
from this cause.
The sampling of last seasons pack
ings is now practically completed and
the amount Of damage found is excep-
tionally small.
There seems to be plenty of inquiry
for old leaf which leaf packers are
mainly unable to consider because of
empty warehouses. Never before were
so little leaf carried by local dealers.
Stemming is the only business carried
on in the packing points at present.
The shipments out of storage reach
800 cases and 2 cars of bundles from
this market since last report.

LANCASTER, Pa, Oct. 10, l91

LANCASTER, IA, Oct. lU, 1917.
During the past week few sales of
the new crop of Lancaster county were
made at 21 to % cents pound but the
quantity disposed of was not large.
The growers as rule will not even put
a price on their crop, let alone take
what the packer is inclined to give
them. For years they have expressed
themselves at the beginning of sea-
son as being desirous of holding their
tobacco until it was stripped, but here
tofore they could not resist the prices
that were offered and for some years
past the bulk of the crop was sold on
the field. This year is an exception,
sure enough, but there is very excel
lent reason why it is so. 1t is to be
found in the fact of the growers feel
ing confident of their ability to make
the buyers pay more than they are Of
fering. In short, to pay the prices de-
manded by the growers, meaning moth
ing under 25 cents.
Representative of the concerns that
wanted to buy when the crop was still
standing are not among those who are
after the grower now. They evidently
had their orders from headquarters as
to prices, and when they found the
growers inclined to be too unreasonable
they simply dropped out of sight and
are still under cover. 1t has been pre-
dicted that If the growers could only be
let alone until, say about January 1,
