MARKETS BARE OF WEED;
LEAF TOBACCO SOLD OUT
Up ON the Richmond Mar.
kct Last Week.
WHAT or THIS YEARS CROP?
The Question That Seems to Trouble
Many Growers-War Will Have
No Effect OH Demand or the Good
Prices.

The tobacco men OF Virginia and
North carolina-growcrs, leaf dealers.
manufacturers and all---are now much
more interested in the crop of tobacco
tina; is to be made this year than they
are in the ono that WAS made last
year and is now very nearly sold out.
Every day. and every hour i'm the day.
men arc asking what effect is all of
this war talk going to have on the
markets when we come to convert the
crop that Is yet To he made into money.
OF course. if tobacco is to bc low and
the demand for the weed light because.
Of war or for any other reason. the
planters Will put in short crop; that
IS. II they can by any means obtain
amy accurate information on that sub
ject. Hence the inquiries.
II is the opinion of experts and
statist icians that the growers can make
no mistake in putting in the usual
SIZE crop. and some of them go rs far
as TO say that they will do well TO
enlarge the acreage this year.
REASONS FOR THE VIEWS
OF THE OPriMIsTS
The crops have been short for the
past three years. and during last year
there was not enough leaf tobacco in
the land to meet the actual demand.
and that is why the prices for las,
years crop went SO high. There Will
bc just as great demand. aud per
year. War with Germany certainly
viii not in any way curtail this dc
mand. This country is not now ship
ping any tobacco to Germany and has
not shipped any OF any consequence
there for three years. There will be
little If any curtailmcnt OF the demand
from England. France and the other
European countries other than Ger
many. The consumption OF tho weed
in the United States is increasing every
day In the year and the Japanese calls
for Virginia and North Carolina to-
baccos arc growing rapidly. More leaf
Will certainly he called for this year
than last. and any Virginia grower
who curtails his crop on account OF
tic war talk Will make mistake
This does not mean that the growers
should plant every available acre In
tobacco. On the contrary. they ought
TO make sure OF huge crops of catables
first. and then plant out all Of tho
tobacco they can manage successfully.
II Is almost certain that there will be
just as much demand for the leaf next
fall and winter rs there was last win
ter and that tho prices viii he just
as profitable to the grower.
