NEW O<sA, uiy 40, AOAO'
The leaf market while not being tied
down for the present by great activity
is concerning itself about the size and
outcome of the crops that are just
sprouting up. And more still they are
calculating and figuring on the probable
cost of these as yet infant crops. The
market is busy with rumors at what
price 1918 crops are being already con-
tracted for. In Wisconsin they figure
on 35 cents round, which would mean
a marketable price for the packer of at
least so cents. In Connecticut the
prices are reported to have started at
about As cents, and so wherever suit
able cigar leaf is being raised. Prices
like these are likely to wipe out either
the manufacture of any nickel cigars,
forcing the price up to and 10 cents
or to restrict cigar manufacturing to a
large extent In view Of these worry
ing reflections in the market, it will be
more than interesting to read the fore
cast published by the Department of
Agriculture on the condition of our do
mestic cigar leaf crops on July 1st.
The total acreage set out was in every
cigar raising district far greater in
percentage than last year and the es-
timated production as far larger than
last year. New England production is
estimated to yield this year ten million
more pounds; Pennsylvania likewise
ten million more pounds; Wisconsin
twenty one million pounds, and Florida
more than million pounds. If these
official estimates of increased cigar leaf
production this year are to be credited
and should turn out as estimated, our
leaf market should have ampler and
cheaper leaf crops to deal in when they
become marketable journal.

NEW YORK, July 10, 1918.

For three years and longer there has
been continuous rise in the price of
the cigar leaf tobacco. The causes un-
derlying this rise are we'll understood.
They are the same causes that underlie
the increase in the cost of most other
commodities, stimulated by certain fac
tors peculiar to the tobacco business
itself. To assume that this increase is
bound to continue indefinitely is to take
rather wild chance. Yet this chance
is exactly what some of the prominent
packing houses are taking in their eff
forts TO lift the Wisconsin and New
England crops. The wild scramble in
Wisconsin has stopped temporarily, but
Massachusetts, it is said, has been
cleaned of Sungrown Havana Seed, as
have several sections of Connecticut,
and buying is reported to have started
in the Broadleaf section. Prices paid
in both States are almost fifty per cent
above the prices paid last year, and

tors to violate the agreement and te
contract for the growing crop. Some
riding is being done in the growing
districts, mainly to watch the progress
of the growing crop but that is all.
The growers are not likely now to be
bothered by buyers until the crop is al
least ready for the sheds.
Another all night rain early in the
week has put the soil in fine condition
to promote a steady growth, but con-
siderable unevenness has developed in
the fields of late that only can be ac-
counted for except through wire worm,
root rot or other soil disease. With
this exception the crop is progressing
satisfactorily and the first paintings
give promise of an exceptionally early
harvest. The growth in many fields
now cover the ground so as to preclude
further cultivation.
We hear of few instances where
farmers have gathered their potato
crop and replanting the ground with
tobacco, having the late prices offered
in view for still adding to the war
profits of the year.
Stemming is about the only business
now carried on at the warehouses.
The shipments out of storage reach
$50 cases and 6 cars of bundles from
this market since last report.

A famine of cigar tobacco confronts
German smokers The trade, accord
ing to German newspapers, estimates
that the supply will be entirely used
up by November 1st. During the war
Holland has been the main source from
which Germany obtained cigars, but
because of heavy shrinkage in i'm
ports from the Dutch colonies tobacco
exports to Germany have almost ceas-
ed. The Government is considering
how the impending panic can be avert
ed or ameliorated. One proposal is to
abolish cigar manufacturing during the
summer. According to the Frankfort
Gazette, German cigar smokers must
in the best circumstances prepare to
do without their weed next summer.
Some cigarette and pipe tobacco is still
reaching Germany, but the cigarette
industry has to draw on its limited sup
ply for the manufacture of cigars for
the army.

ENEMY's FAMOUS DEFENSE IS
FALLING BEFORE FURIOUS
ATTACK OF ALLIES.
Fortified Positions Between Cambria
and St. Quentin Definitely Smashed
and RouIers Entered by BeIgians
In Drive to the Sea.

Paris.-Lens, the heart of the great
coal region in northern France, and
Armentieres, almost equally important
as q manufacturing center, have been
evacuated by the Germans; the Ger
man fortified positions between Cam
brai and st. Quentin have been def
nitely smashed, and the Austro-Hun-
garians in Albania, forsaken by the
Bulgarians, their former allies, are in
full retreat northward from the Adria-
tic sea to Lake Ochrida.
Huns Forced to Give Ground.
OF there conquering Of invaded Bel
GUM and the progress of the French
and Franco American forces respec-
lively, north of Rheims and eastward
in Champagne to the vicinity of YER
dun, the tale remains the same7-the
Germans slowly but surely are being
forced everywhere to give ground and
their vital defenses daily continue to
be eaten into, Notwithstanding the
strong resistance against the efforts
of the allies to close in on all sides OF
the great battle arc from the North
sea to the Swiss border and compel
the German high command to recon-
struct it's fighting line.
BeIgians Enter RouIers.
In Belgian Flanders, the Belgian,
French and British troops are keeping
up their eastward progress in their en-
deayors to compel the Germans to give
up Ostend and Zeebrugge, their naval
bases on the North sea.
Roulers, the important railway juno
ton, with it's lines Of steel radiating
to the North sea and eastward to
Client, has been entered by the Bel
gians, and at Hooglede, to the north,
King Albert's men are virtually upon
the Roulers- Ostend- Bruges railway. To
the south Menin and Courtrai are Sc
riously menaced.
Across the border in France the cap
ture of Armentieres brings Lille, capt.
tai Of the department Of the Nord,
within striking distance. and the eva
cuation of Lens places Douai, the fort
ress northeast of Arras, and all the ter
ritory between Arras and Menin vir-
tually in the hands Of the British. !,

Paris.-While Germany and Aus
tria-Hungary are clamoring for peace
the entente allied governments thus
far are paying scant heed to the, pro-
posals, but their armies are pressing
forward to further victories on all
fronts.
| Over wide extent of territory, out
lined by burning villages, the Ger
mans are retreating rapidly before
General Gouraud's troops. They are
crowded by General Berthelots forces
| from the west and in danger of being
cut off by the Franco-Americans, who
have crossed the Arnes river.
On the battlefront the Germans
everywhere are being forced to give
ground to the allied troops. In Bel
GUM the enemy is gradually being
pushed eastward, and in anticipation
of a forced final withdrawal is con-
tinuing to make ready for that even
tuality by removing his guns and
otherwise lessening the value Of his
defensive works in the territory upon
and adjacent to the North sea coast.
The past week has seen one victory
after another by the allies.
To the south from Arras to the YER
dun sector the Germans are being
hard pressed by the British, Ameri-
can, Italian and French forces, and.
although on numerous sectors they
are still offering desperate resis-
lance, they seemingly are unable to
do more than retard the advance Of.
their foes.

hands.
With the Germans being defeated
over wide areas by the French and
Americans, from Rheims to the Ar
gonne forest, the Italians south Of
Laon have begun an offensive, which
seemingly has as its objective the fin
fishing of the work previously begun
by the French for the obliteration Of
La Fere and Laon.
In the Macedonian theater the ais

TOO BUSY TO DISCUSS PEACE.
Unconditional Surrender of Central
Powers ls official Sentiment.

Washington.-The outline Of terms
which Prince Macmillan Is said to be
ready to discuss and the report that
he is ready to consider President Will
sons fourteen points in no way at
fects the situation.
The United States government Is.
not going to enter into discussion Of
terms with the German government no
matter how ingeniously the Teuton
diplomats approach the subject Of
peace. President Wilson in his last
speech made 1t very clear, 1t is point
ed out, that this government was not
interested in terms.
Officials therefore do not care par
ticularly what sort of terms Prince
Macmillan wants to discuss. The
fact Of the matter, according to the
best available information here, Is that
the United States is now too busy
bringing real peace nearer through
prosecution Of the war to be side
tracked into useless consideration Of
shade in Germany" terms of any sort.
Germany obviously is trying to keep
the peace talk going because it is all
to her advantage to do so.
It is admitted here that the first Of
these ingenious peace feelers is bound
to attract considerable notice in the
United States and in entente coun-
tries, but 1t is believed that the pub
lie will soon become used to these eff
fusiOns.
