First is Dale 4 Weber, two dainty

novelty of furnishing a complete

offering as whole. In conjunction

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Mar. 26, 1917.
The closing days of March find Con-
necticut Valley tobacco growers eager
ly awaiting sufficiently settled weather
to permet the beginning of the prelim-
inaries of the 1917 crop. Teaming on
the average country road is as yet out
of the question, and the hauling of vast
quantities of fertilizer and other ma
terial will begin when dryer conditions
prevail.
Growers of Shaded tobacco will start
their seed beds within ten days or two
weeks. The tents remove the danger
from late frosts. Raisers of sun-grown
crops no longer manifest the keen in
terest in an early start which years ago
was regarded as an evidence of all
round thrift. Results have demon
strated that late tobacco often proves
rather better than that which had an
early start.
Generally speaking, growers have
fully decided relative to 1917 acreages.
AS already forecasted there will be
some increase in Shaded tobacco area
and proportionately smaller enlarge
ment Of the acreage given over to the
sun-grown crop. If conditions were
normal-that is, if fertilizers and other
essentials were cheaper and labor was
more abundant and less costly, the 1917
acreage would show sensational IN
crease.

New YORK, March 81, 1917.

NEW Ohk, MarCH Ol, 1J4f.
Conditions in our leaf market remain
unchanged. Business would be ex-
ceedingly brisk if sufficient stock were
on hand. The chief call at present is
for domestic Shadegrown wrapper leaf,
the Florida being just now especially
favored by large demand. Even the
new Havana stock is being absorbed
into consumption in larger quantities
than during many previous seasons.
Everybody would be happy and content
with plenty of leisure to pursue enjoy
ment and sports were it not for the
worry and anxiety of getting in an ad-
equate supply of Sumatra. The efforts
made by a syndicate of importers to
obtain between five and six thousand
bales directly from the Island OF Suma-
ira are being greatly appreciated by
manufacturer in need Of Sumatra
wrapper and allotments from that
quantity are being eagerly sought. But
when that supply will materialize in
shipment remains still question Of
future solution. The syndicate, how
ever, is hard at work to effect as
speedy shipment as would be possible
under the present troublesome state of
transportation. A further supply of
Sumatra is expected from the coming
Inscriptions at which the efficient rep
resentatives of our Sumatra importing
houses are likely to do some lively bid
ding. But here again, how to get the
purchases through the blockaded zone,
the difficulties of which will be greatly
aggravated when the United States re-
solves to participate in the war, re-
mains for the present an indissoluble
problem. journal.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERTON, WIS.,, April 6, 1917.
Receiving of the tobacco crop upon
contracts placed months ago is still 60
ing on though very nearly completed in
the southern growing sections. There
still seems to be small portion of the
crop yet hanging in the sheds in some
of the localities which no recent cas-
ing weather has permitted it's taking
down. The warehouse handling and
packing is being crowded along as rap
idly as possible with the help to be OBJ
tanned at packing points, but the work
is destined to be carried along until
we'll into the summer months with the
large operators.
Movements in cured leaf are not
very plentiful though there is a broad
demand for both binder and filler
stocks.
The weather conditions so far are not
very spring like and very little has
been done in the way of preparing the
seed beds for another crop.
The shipments out of storage reach
8 cars of bundles since last report.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1917-04-06
NEW YORK, March %, 1917.


The activity that has prevailed in the
leaf tobacco circles in the past five
months has had one result it has
caused the manufacturers to stock up
with tobacco as never before in the his
tory of the trade. One prominent
packer, who is given to thinking year
ahead, declares that in his experience,
which extends over good many years,
he has never known the time when so
large proportion of the stock of leaf
tobacco on hand was in the possession
of the leaf merchants.
He declares that there is reason to
believe that the general run of manu-
facturers could go on year upon their
present stocks. Of course manufac-
turer might run short here and there
of certain type of tobacco, but taken
far and wide, the cigar manufacturing
industry has supplies that will keep
them running for year. 1t is stated,
furthermore, that the smaller manu-
facturers are, as a general thing, bet
ter supplied relatively than the larger
ones are It is easier for a factory
that needs ten bales of wrappers year
to get fifteen than for a factory that
needs 100 to get $50.
And this packer also predicts that, if
slump in consumption should come,
say around midsummer, these smaller
manufacturers, who have more tobacco
than they need, will offer their surplus
stock upon the market. The theory, to
say the least, is interesting. It is not
expected that any one factory will have
much to offer, but in the aggregate,
according to this gentleman's prognos-
tication, the amount of tobacco put
upon the market in this manner will be
sufficient to help out factories that
haven't enough.
