NEW YORK, Jan. 6, 1917.

But whether the war continues, or
the world be blessed agsin with peace,
the tobacco trade and its industries can
be vouchsafed as prosperous year as
they have passed through. All kinds
and types of tobacco will continue in
growing demand at rising values. The
trade may find itself somewhat short
of the actual goods to meet. this grow
ing demand but increased profits should
conciliate it for a curtailment of the
volume of business. AS little tobacco
will go a-begging as there was last
year, the market price if not over-in-
fated will be fully realized. The in
vestments of the trade are, therefore,
safe.
AS for the cigar industry, it is bound
to progress still further in its expan-
sion than it did last year. With the in
creased consumptive capacity and affiu-
ent means at the hand Of all classes of
consumers the demand for more and
better cigars is certain to grow. The
question for the manufacturer will be
not how to meet the demand, but how
to square the demand with the increas-
ed cost of production. Without such
step he cannot expect to get fair
share of the prosperity that will con-
tinue unabated during the year. The
enormous volume of business in tobac-
CO products during the holidays should
encourage the manufacturer to take
the forward step, breaking with all
traditions of the past. If he does this,
he will reap the reward of his pluck
and industry.
Trade prospects for the year 1917
are, therefore, as favorable as human
foresight possibly can forecast. But it
will require concerted action on the
part Of the manufacturer, distributor
and dealer to educate the consuming
public up to the necessity of paying
more adequate prices for tobacco pro-
ducts. No consumer will voluntarily
pay more for any article of merchan-
disc than is being asked for it but he
will submit to the advance if he is in
telligentIy enlightened as to the cause
of it. If the trade wants to get it's
share of the continued prosperity, not
only in an increased volume of business
but also in increased profits, it will
have to devote itself to consistent
campaign of publicity which alone can
influence graceful popular submission
to price advances. journal.

SPRINGFIELD. MASS, Jan. 2, 1917.
Heavy wind damage was suffered by
Connecticut Valley tobacco growers ir
the gale on Friday night, December 22.
The wind was destructive throughout
the tobacco belt, and the loss will rur
into thousands of dollars in single
towns. Barns on exposed locations
were unceremoniously leveled. In most
instances the barns were practically
empty, otherwise the loss would have
been much heavier.

ing without serious interruption. The

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDcERToN, WIS, Jan. IL, 1917.

EDGERToN, Wis, Jan. IL, 1917
Another short season of near casing
weather occurred the early part of the
week but the mild temperature was
hardly sufficient to bring the hanging
tobacco into proper condition to come
out of the curing sheds and the cold
wave following SO closely after the
thaw put an end to all hope for imme-
diate stripping and marketing of the
crop. Evidently growers have taken
down some portions of their tobacco
during these soft spells, but from half
to two-thirds Of the crop is still hang
ing in the sheds. Some heavy deliv cry
days have occurred in this market the
past week to the Eisenlohr firm, P.
Lorillard, American Cigar Co., Haskins
& Schwartz and the u. c. M. Co. On
Tuesday the streets in the vicinity of
receiving places were fairly blocked by
farmers teams. The packing houses
are getting their warehouse help fairly
organized for a long seasons run with
probably enough tobacco on hand for
two or three weeks yet without order
ing in parts of crops.
The only sizeabe transaction of old
leaf coming to notice is the sale of a
700cs lot of Is by Mcintosh Bros.
Other sales are of small order nature.
Delayed orders for shipments out of
storage are awaiting the lifting of the
embargo to eastern points.

LANCASTER, Pa, Dec. 81, 1916.
Every year before the planting sea-
son the proposition is advanced of ar
ranging to take census of the tobacco
acreage of Lancaster county, but moth
ing has ever been done, SO far, to do
something which would be of undoubt-
ed advantage to the packers. 1t has
all ended in talk, and yet it is some
thing that could be done so easily, and
at the most trifing expense. One or
two well known growers of each town
ship could secure the information for
his township and send it to the secre-
tary of the Lancaster Cigar Leaf To-
bacco association.
Estimates differed widely on the 1916
acreage, ranging all the way from
10000 to 1900 acres. If the exact
acreage was known it would be possi-
