NEW YIN, l. CJ. 20, 1O1O.
Nothing worthy of special notice has
transpired this week in the market
Business is confined to routine activity.
Large transactions are anyhow out of
question because of the scarcity of
large stocks. A little anxious stir was
created by the presidential proclama-
tiOn of complete embargo on all i'm
ports, which was at once interpreted as
likely to exclude also the importation
of the Sumatra purchases by the Amer
lean syndicate direct from the island Of
Sumatra. However, the anxiety on
this was Immediately abated by the as
surance of the Washington State De-
partment that the importations in ques-
tion will be permitted under the Ii
censes formerly issued. AS for other
subjects of interest to the market, the
resolution of the New England Tobacco
Growers Association on the reduction
of tobacco acreage this year caused but
little comment Whether it will be
necessary to reduce the tobacco acre
age or not will depend rather more on
the decision of the Washington author
tiles than on the intentions of the
growers themselves. Journal.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,. March /, 1918.

EDGERToN, WIS.,. March l, 1918.
The coming of spring like days is fa-
cilitating the movement of the tobacco
crop, both on the farms where stripping
can now be completed and in the i'm
provement of the country highways so
that deliveries are becoming more
plentiful. Wednesday was the largest
receiving day of the season in this
market, when hundreds of teams, filled
our streets. Owing to the inability to
secure cars for transshipment, packers
are experiencing geod deal of incon-
venience in deliveries at outlying points
where temporary storage must be OBJ
tanned until the car shortage is reliev-
ed. The farmers mostly have their
crops ready and are anxious to make
deliveries before their work on the
farms commence, so the pressure to
hurry along the receiving is becoming
strong. The tobacco now coming to
market is in fairly good condition,
there being very much less complaint
of high case or wet stems than earlier
in the season.
Eastern railroad connections have not
yet raised the embargo on car load
shipments from storage, so the move
ment to factory points is limited.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1918-03-01
San Jnan, Porto Rico, Feb. 9.

One thousand acres of the best land
controlled by the Porto Rican Leaf
Tobacco Co. will be planted to corn and
beans after the tobacco crop is off, ac-
cording to the statement Of Manager
Staebler. All the corhpany's other to-
bacco land will be given to poor people
for planting under direction of its field
managers.
Tobacco planters all over the island,
realizing how serious the food short
age has become and that Porto Rico
must be made as nearly supporting
as possible, are preparing to plant
food crops IN March. In few places
where the second tobacco cut Is most
valuable = as the Isabella Camuy section
beans will be planted between rows
of tobacco.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1918-03-01
Pennsylvania.


Because of the fact that not much
more than half of the crop has been
made ready for delivery and much that
was prepared has been delayed by the
impossible condition of the roads for a
long time, it is anticipated that the
movement of the tobacco to the ware
houses when commenced in large guam
titles will be almost overwhelming to
the force of employees Because of the
high prices, however, the packers will
not allow themselves to be rushed, and
in their haste accept tobacco not up to
contract. Care will mark their every
movement and they will so regulate de-
livery that not at one time will they
have more on hand than they can prop
erly receive.
At present packers are expressing
their displeasure over the manner in
which the tobacco is brought to them.
E"The higher the price the worse they
handle tobacco in Lancaster county, "
is the way one prominent dealer puts
it. Another extensive dealer up to this
time has already sent fifteen growers
home because their tobacco was not up
to the agreement.
When the severe frosts were felt In
this section in the early fall, damaging
much Of the crop, buyers Immediately
got busy purchasing the frosted tobac-
co. A grower who had some affected
and others not affected would sell the
frosted tobacco and make another con-
tract for his good tobacco This pro-
cedure is now bringing trouble in the
case of number of growers, who are
