NEW YORK, May IL, 1917.

NEW L ONA, hdy Il, 1S1i.
CONSERVATION seized the leaf market
when the news became known of the
provision OF an additional 10 per cent
ad valorem duty on imported tobaccos
in the new war revenue tax bill. This
additional tax would mean an increase
in the duty rate on Sumatra at an aver
age of from 5 to cents per pound, and
on Havana leaf from at least to 5
cents per pound, according to the type,
grade and value of the different tobac-
cos. The trade, under the patriotic
impulse, would stand without much
murmur a slight additional increase,
but there is resentment against the ad
yalorem rate of an increase which is
likely to upset values. Coming, as it
does, on proposed tax increase on the
cigar product, it is likely to eat up with
the other increased costs of production
the last profit that is left from the in
creased internal revenue tax. Besides,
an increased ad valorem rate would
cause too great differentiation in price
and lead to controversial wranglings
and distrust between seller and buyer
With specific 10 per cent increase
the price of imported tobaccos would
only change to the extent of the in
crease, while under the ad valorem rate
of increase the fiuctuating price would
always be subject to suspicion, at least
on the part of the buyer. journal.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, May Z, 1917.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, May Z, 1917.
Unreasonable weather retards the
start of the 1917 New England crop.
There have been no warm days even in
the bright sun, and frosts have been
general the past week. NotWi.hstand-
ing the unpromising outlook for an
early start in the transplanting, the
young plants in the seed beds are in a
thriving condition and recent rains
have soaked the soil in the fields, so
that as yet little delay is the only un-
propituous feature.
Ordinarily backward season is not
a source of particular concern to the
average grower. This year, however,
labor is scarce in many tobacco towns,
and more time will be required to set
out the crop. Some relief from the
labor shortage is promised at harvest
time, as it is probable that schools in
the tobacco belt will not begin the fall
term until the last of the tobacco crop
is housed. Juvenile labor will be drawn
upon this year to an extent heretofore
unknown. The labor shortage will en-
able hundreds, probably thousands. of
children to earn extra dollars at health
full employment without serious cur
tailment of the school term.

LANCASTER, Pa, May Z, 49,

LANCASIER, a., Way Z, 1S1I.
The first of May saw every seed bed
in Lancaster county planted and grow
ing nicely, and the outlook good for an
abundance of plants this year. Grow
ers as a rule now have their own seed
beds. They know what kind of plant
they are getting then, and the result is
much more satisfactory, especially
since growers have begun to sterilize
their seed beds. There may be some
planting done the tail end of May, but
not great deal, and the major part of
the crop will not be in the field before
the middle of June. With favorable
weather that will give the crop ample
time to grow and mature. This will
certainly be Slaughter strain crop,
and the best results are predicted. That
it is considered the best kind is evil
dent from the great number of grow
ers who have planted this seed this
year. A few years ago large numbers
Of growers got wild on Havana seed,
and great deal was planted. The ar
gument in it's favor was that while an
acre produced less in weight than Penn
sylvania Broadleaf, there was just that
much less to handle, while the higher
price paid for it made it pay better.
1t was found, by experiment, that it
was not the tobacco for Lancaster
county, so it's culture was abandoned
by many growers. Last season not
1000 acres were grown, and the bulk
of it was raised around Washington
borough, on the Susquehanna river.
This year the acreage in that locality
will also be greatly reduced, those
abandoning it taking to the Slaughter
strain.

GDGGS4OASt w 11dy LIZ 1O4ts
The coming of warmer days has CIV
en- the plant beds chance TO overcome
some of the delays of late spring.
The young plants are appearing plenti-
fully upon the beds, but their great
need now is moisture as no rains have
occurred for the past two weeks. To
maintain a steady growth it is import
ant that growers see that the defcien-
cy is supplied by watering the beds and
it is a matter that should not be neg
lected if plants are expected at the
usual time for Jrarsplanting.
There is considerable work yet to be
done at the packing points before the
close of the sorting season, though the
present month will see most of the
warehouses closed.
There is little to tell regarding the
market for old stock owing to the
scarcity of goods in hands of local
packers. The sale of 125cs lot of '15
by F. s. Baines to Binghamton, N.
Y, manufacturer is the only transac-
tion of note reaching us.
Corn planting is now we'll under way
and as soon as that is finished growers
will turn their attention towards pre-
pairing their tobacco fields for the new
crop.
The shipments out of storage reach
350cs and Z cars of bundle goods to all
points since last report.

COTTON ENDS HIGHER
AFTER AN EARLY DIP
Farmers in South Refusing to
Sell Below 2Oc.-Firmness
in Stocks Aids Market.

Although lower prices were reached In
the cotton market yesterday the selling
was not so active or aggressive as on
Tuesday and there we're sharp rallies
late. December contracts sold UP from
S0.67 to 21c. and closed at 20.97c.. with
the general list closing steady at a net
advance Of 10 to 20 points. September
showed the maximum advance. with
other months 10 to 13 points above Tues
days closing figures.
Reactionary sentiment was evident
from the start owing to the recent de-
cline and comparatively few sellers ap-
peared after the break In the middle Of
the day. Weather and crop advicee were
considered generally favorable, including
the weekly report of the Weather bu-
reau. but numerous reports from the
6outh said farmers would not sell freely
below the 20c. level at interior points.
The rally was Influenced also by the
stock markets firmer tone.
The market opened steady at decline
OF to ii points under overnight selling
orders. Liverpool sold December and
later months against further spot pur-
chases In the South and to transfer
hedges. Stocks of cotton here available
for delivery on contract are showing
little or no increase.
Exports for the day 1881 bales. making
SSe, as 20 far this season, against 433 IA last
year. Southern spot markets unchanged TO 100
