NEW YORK. Dec. II. 1916.


The outstanding feature of the year
1916, and the one that will make the
year memorable in the recollection of
the trade, is the enormous increase In
the price of tobacco. A number of
causes have contributed toward produc-
ing this phenomenon. The factories
have been working at high rate of
production throughout the year, the
1915 crop in all cigar leaf states was
disappointing in production, the yield
being 60 per cent of normal, and, owing
to the tremendous demand for tobacco
in Europe, large quantity was ex-
ported.
The bulk of the exports consisted of
low grades that would not have gone
into cigars even if it had remained in
this country, but the exports also in
cluded a quantity Of tobacco that would
have been used by American cigar and
stogie factories.
Furthermore, labor, fertilizer and ev
erything used by the farmer is higher
than usual.
The circumstances were known to
the manufacturers, and when the 1916
crop had reached a stage of growth
that enabled the trade to Judge its
probable quality, it was extremely evil
dent that shortage of desirable leaf
tobacco was in sight. This fact was
particularly accentuated by the frosts
which cut down the visible supply in
Ohio and Wisconsin by nearly 40 per
cent. The buying in almost every state
was started by the large manufactur
ers, and the 1916 crop was bought up
from the farmers at prices that the
manufacturers usually pay the packers.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN. WIS, Jan. 5, 1917.
Warehouse handling of the 1916 to-
bacco crop has been quite generally
started at the packing points in the
state during the week, giving employ
ment to several hundred hands. Cas-
ing weather must come soon, however,
if this work is to continue, as fully
two-thirds of the crop is still hanging
in the sheds and cannot be stripped
until thaw arrives. Possibly some
parts of crops will be taken in to keep
the warehouses running in the event
that the casing season is long delayed.
A great deal of the crop ready for de-
livery has been received and is showing
a heavier yield than was expected and
also giving the farmers larger money
return than was anticipated in conse-
quence. The P. Lorillard Co. received
about 100 acres at this point Wednes-
day. The United Cigar Manufacturers
Co., Otto Eisenlohr & Bros, Mcintosh
Bros. C. Fl. Spitzner and E. M. Hub
bell are among those who have opened
their packing houses in this market this
week.
No news of Importance has developed
in old leaf in local markets recently.
The shipments out of storage to east
ern points are still under an embargo
owing to freight congestion.

Some work is being done at the local
tobacco warehouses in way of sorting,
but case weather must come before
enough goods can be provided to retain
the sorting crew. Though the weather
is cold at present, it may turn towards
moisture within few hours as hereto
fore and farmers and warehousemen
live in hopes of proper weather condi-
tions. Stoughton will have a number
of warehouses in operation as soon as
possible. Very little of the crop has
yet been removed from the pole.
FL. w. Scott expected to begin sort
ing and packing tobacco at his ware
houses on January 2, but has decided
to wait until case weather enables the
growers to supply an amount of leaf
large enough to continue operatisns for
a definite period.

New England.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Dec. 26, 1916.
Christmas finds warehouse operations
in the Connecticut Valley progressing
rather more slowly than many of the
packers had expected. The labor prob
lem is big factor, but there are indi-
cations that the scarcity of help has
reached it's height. Interest naturally
centers in the new Shaded crop which
is being rushed through the various
stages preliminary to the manufactur-
ers' table. The sun-grown crop at this
writing is fully up to expectations. All
in all the 1916 New England crop will
be one of the most satisfactory in
years.
The heavy rain Friday produced a
damp which belated growers took ad-
vantage of.

Pennsylvania.

LANCASTER, Pa, Dec. %, 1916.
The approach. of the New Year finds
many unoccupied tobacco warehouses
in this city and county. Local news
papers contain many advertisements of
warehouses for rent, showing that
quite number of local packers are un-
able to meet conditions that have pre-
vailed in the local market in recent
years and retired from business. The
ill-fortune which attended the buying
of the 1909 crop tied up financially quite
number of dealers, and they have
been wary ever since. Most of this
years crop will fnd It's way into the
hands of the big concerns, local pack
ers having secured only small portion
of it. AS there is little or none OF
the old goods in dealers hands, ware
houses as aresult are practically empty
with no prospects of being filled up
with the new crop, hence the reason
for so many being placed in the hands

FRENCH FLYER KILLED
CAPTAIN GUYNEMER, NOTED AIR
MAN, BELIEVED DEAD.
Aviator Missing Following Battle Win
German Squadron-5rought Down
So German Machines.

Paris, Sept. ga squadron of Ger
man airplanes swept over the French
trenches on Monday. Capt. Georges
Guynemer and members of Aerial
Squadon No took the air and en-
gagged in the enemy machines. After
a terrific battle, lasting hours, the Teu-
ton craft returned to their own lines,
but when Aerial Squadron No. 3 land
ed it was found that Guynemer was
missing. Yesterday he was officially
reported as KILLED in action" and all
France mOurns the loss of its idol, the
hero of France.
The record of Captain Guyne2er
reads like the widest dream of All
imaginative fictiOnist. Up to Septem-
Der 10 he was credited officially with
having shot down so German planes
in the course of two years and three
months. Unofficial reports gave him
credit for -.
When the war was declared Guy
nemer was only nineteen years old. He
obtained appointment to the aviation
corps and after a course of training at
du was sent W the lTOul.
In ,Duly, 1915, Guynemer shot down
his first plane. February, 1916, saw
the fifth German plane go crashing
down to earth under his fire, and Guy
nemer was officially cited and made an
"ace." From that time on he con-
tinued to meet and vanquish foe after
foe until he had exceeded the record
of all other pilots on either side.
On June of this year he shot down
four planes in one day, downing two,
of them in 81 seconds.
He was wounded three times during
the course of his army life. In March.
1916, while driving q new plane, he
uaderestimated its speed and flew
past his TeutOnic adversary, puttingi
himself at a disadvantage. The enemy
opened fire and Guyuemer was wound
ed in the arm and face. Driving with
one hand, he executed a brilliant land-i
ing, while his foe flew Off thinking the
famous pilot was dead. After a few
weeks in Paris hospital he returned
to his squadron.
The feeling of his countrymen was
shown for him when he led the French
aviation section in the parade of the
! American army on the Fourth of July.
He was pelted with flowers all along
the route and his praise shouted at
every step.
The French government bestowed
on him the Cross of the Legion of
Honor, the military medal, the war
cross and every other decoration and
honor at it's command.

This provision upset General Crow
