NEW ORk, y al. III, 1911.
The leaf market was cheered this
week by two reports, the contents of
which presage very active business.
One contained the official report by the
Internal Revenue Bureau as to the out
put of the cigar industry during the
past year, which showed an increase of
over five hundred millions in large ci-
gars. Such an increase showed the
cigar industry TO be in a very flourish
ing condition and it is message to the
leaf market to be prepared for larger
stock Of raw material if the industry
remains in the same progressive con-
dition. But the prospects are for
still larger increase, consequently for
much larger leaf stocks to meet this
end. The other report which was is
sued from the Department of Agricul-
ture and gave the final estimate Of the
1916 cigar leaf output throughout the
country, showed large increase in the
yield of the crops in most of the cigar
leaf growing states. Of course, the
market is aware that in some states,
particularly Wisconsin and Pennsyl-
vania, great deal of damage inflicted
these crops and consequently reduced
the quantity of their availability for
cigar purposes. Nevertheless the in
crease in itself vouchsafes at least a
larger supply for the leaf market to
deal in and so the apprehension of such
shortage of crops as to curtail the
entire volume of business may be said
to have been appeased. In the mean
while trading is keeping up in good
pace. In Havana leaf especially al
most boom is noticeable for prices
are rising constantly Remedies in
particular are commanding an ever ad-
vancing figure for they are considered
to be the best crop raised in the past
ten years. From 70 to rs cents in bond
is likely to be the price in the near
future. And the stock of Sumatra
whatever is left is beginning to disap-
pear very fast in view of the postpone

TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, Feb. 2, 1917.

The long looked for January thaw
came early in the week that permitted
growers to take down portion of
their tobacco crop, possibly half that
was still hanging. 1t was disap-
pointment that the soft weather did
not last long enough to enable farmers
to clear out their curing sheds and COM
plete the mark citing of the crop. 1t is
estimated that fully third of the crop
is still left awaiting another casing
spell. Enough of the crop will be COM
ing along now to keep the warehouse
handling going probably until the bal
ance of the crop can be obtained. Sew
eral of the j GAINESVILLE warehouses had
been closed for time waiting for the
casing weather and others were getting
close to a shut down when the thaw
came.
There have been one or two large
delivery days in this market during the
week. Tuesday the P. Lorillard Co.
received about 100 acres and Wednes-
day A. Schrode took in several large
crops here for shipment to Sun Prairie
and Stoughton.
The old leaf market continues to
show unusually strong conditions for
all cigar leaf types, but the only trans
action of size is the sale of some 500cs
IA seedleaf by C. J. Jones & Son,
Janesville packers, to A. Jenson &
Son.
A few cars have been loaded for
eastern shipments, the first in some
weeks. The embargo still holds on
many lines.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The customary January thaw, though
somewhat belated, came on Sunday and
extended over the greater part of Mon
day, which at first bid fair to bring
about casing conditions that tobacco
growers have been anxiously waiting
for several weeks. While the temper
ature was warm enough to melt con-
siderable portion of the snow, it ranged
aboys 36 only for short period and
and only the outside of the sheds reach
ed the condition desired. Some portion
of the hanging tobacco was removed
but the disappointment is that growers
were not permitted to clear out their
curing sheds as they hoped for and fin
ish up the stripping of the crop. That
portion which was removed will soon
be stripped and will help continue pack
ing operations, for several firms were
compelled to close down and others
were nearing a point where they would
have to suspend. The weather changed
to freezing again following the soft
days and the growers work of prepar-
ing the crop for market is again post
poned until another casing spell comes,
and the hope is it will not be long de-
layed.

From the detailed report of the
Department of Agriculture on the
tobacco production throughout the
United States during 1916, published
in detail on another page in this
issue, the trade will be informed of
the quantities of raw material at its
disposal this year. The table shows a
marked increase in the production of
cigar leaf in all cigar producing states
with the exception of New York and
Florida. This information will contra
dict the impression given out during
the growing season of a reduction In
last years cigar leaf crop. For, ac-
cording to the official figures, Connecti-
cut produced seven million pounds more
than in 1915, Pennsylvania an equal in
crease of seven million pounds over
that of 1915, Ohio an increase of four
teen million pounds, and Wisconsin one
of nineteen million pounds. The pro-
duction of Florida was by half mil
lion pounds less than the year before
and New York's production over mil
lion pounds less. These reported in
creases ought to reassure the leaf mar
ket of more plentiful supply for the
greater needs of our cigar industry
than was supposed. The hogshead leaf
production, however, has fallen off in
certain states to considerable extent.
The shortage IN Virginia is given as
fifteen million pounds, North Carolina's s
as twenty-five million pounds and so all
over the South with the exception of
Kentucky, which shows an increase of
about eighty million pounds. U. S.

what is said to be an inpossbility even
by military experts and I want to have
the men mobilize at Brunswick in an or
derby manner and to prepare to take care
of themselves without any kicking. even
though the government fails to do it's
part.
We all realize that many of our off,
GERS are inexperienced and very few of
the men have had any military expe-
rience. If we go at this matter of mo-
bilization at Brunswick in the right
spirit and the officers and men under
stand that we are undertaking to do
something for our country in the pres
ent emergency to the best Of our abil-
ity with the means at hand. I believe
that every one will enter into the move
ment in the right spirit. We all know
that it is the duty of the government
to take care of its soldiers and the gov
eminent stands ready to do this Is far
as lies within its power but only 36
hours have elapsed since the time our
regiment was recognized by the federal
authorities at Washington and the time
we are called into federal service. 1t
stands to reason there will be some con-
fusion and we must be prepared to make
allowance and to do our very best under
the circumstances without complaint.
The government has shipped large
quantities of supplies for the reg
iment from Boston to Brunswick and
the state is purchasing other supplies
which the government is unable to fur
nish at the present time.
You need not have any fear but that
every man in your command will be
taken care Of within very short time
after our mobilization at Brunswick but
do want the men to make provisions
for themselves for the first day at least.

Surprise Managers

Taking the administration managers
by surprise, Mr. Mann served notice
when the bill came UP today that he
would not give unanimous consent for
the bill to go to conference unless
separate vote was permitted on the war
committee proposal A hasty canvass
of those present. convinced the admins
tration men that they could not be GER
tain of a majority against the proposal
and adjournment was taken.
Unanimous consent again will be
asked tomorrow before the special rule
is invoked, but the Republican leaders
have summoned the entire membership
here for vote and a partisan division
seems certain. In preparation for it the
Democrats frightened up their lines to-
night to insure the presence of DEM
ocratic majority. 1t was thought pos
sible that a few Democrats would vote
withsthe Republicans.
Separate Prohibition Vote
Adoption of the rule will virtually in
clude separate votes also on the 50
minimum for wheat and prohibition
amendments strongly desired by sew
eral House Democrats.
Throughout debate today, Chairman
Lever, in charge of the bill promised
that the House. Democratic conferees
would do their utmost to force accepts
ance Of the original provisions of the
House bill. In that form there was no
provision for either a war expenditures
committee. food board of three mem
bers, or So wheat and the prohibition
sections contemplating a bone dry
country.
Insistence by Mr.. Lever that the
House do nothing to delay final pass
age of the bill, went far toward Undue
ing one dry advocate and others to
agree to sending the measure to con-
ference with only general disagreement
instructions.

Washington, July 24.-The admins

Senate and objected to by President
Wilson as signifying lack Of conf
dence in him started the trouble. The
Republican leader rallied many members
of his party about him and tonight the
situation had taken on the aspect Of a
partisan fight virtually for the first
time since the war session met.
Administration leaders. despairing Of
sending the bill to conference under a
unanimous consent agreement, are pre-
pared to bring in a special rule tomor-
row under which they expect to force
a conference and in addition to instruct
the conferees to disagree to all Senate
amendments.

Despite the threat of Premier Keren-
sky that policy OF blood and iron"
is to be applied without restraint
against the seditous Russian troops
in East Galicia, whose disaffection has
made null almost all the brilliant gains
they had achieved under his personal
leadership early in the month, the
Russians continue their retirement vir-
tually pell-mell, before the German
and Austro- Hungarian armies. From
the wooded Carpathians to the region
of Tarnopol. the forces of Gen. Kor-
niloff almost everywhere are in dis
orderly retreat, hardly anywhere max
ing an attempt to hold back the on
coming enemy.
Already the losses of the Russians
in men killed, wounded or made prs-
oner and in guns and stores captured
are very heavy and these undoubtedly
will become greater unless the hoped
for stiffening in the morale of the
Russians is realized soon.
Evacuating StanisIau
Stanislau. the principal junction for
commercial activities in the crownland
of Galicia and an important grain and
manufacturing center, is being evacu-
ated by the Russians while Pothaytse,
Halicz and other towns have been
taken by the Teutons. Tarnopol. one
OF the chief towns in the crown land,
is more seriously menaced than ever, if
it has not already been re-taken, by
the enemy crossing the river to the
south.
