who are often totally unfit to perform

this not have been prevented by the

NEW YORK, Jan. IL, 1918.


The market has not as yet resumed
its normal activity. In fact, there is
not much stock in the market for any
brisk trade. Nor are manufacturers
for the present at leisure to look after
their leaf purchases. The elaborate
stock inventory they had to take to
correspond to the sharpened govern
ment's requirements and the more
elaborate overhauling Of their books
for the purpose of making out income
and excess profit returns are naturally
preventing manufacturers from devot-
ing attention and time to present re-
plenishing of their leaf stock. TIE
market, however, is occupied in serious
thoughts and speculation about how to
meet the demands Of the cigar industry
for not only a normal but assured in
creased supply. The price worry al
though existing does not seem to both
er it as much For the market is con-
vinced shat if it should be in position
to fill the supply the manufacturers
will meet the higher price demand. And
if the supply is not sufficient even an
increased price would hardly cover the
deficiency in the reduced volume of
business. So while the prospects are
Of the brightest, the market is vacil-
lating in its attitude towards the COM
ing events. j ournal.

Extreme and continued cold weather
has not prevented everyday movement
IN tobacco. Every day deliveries have
been made, many hauling from Genoa,
Victory, DeSoto, LaFarge and other
distant points. A great per cent of
this has gone to our local hacking
houses, and several car loads shipped
out by local representatives of foreign
dealers. To the embarrassment of the
latter was added the car shortage, but
they managed to secure partial trans
portation facilities. 1t has been a try
ing time for all concerned, but there is
no condition of weather that will pre-
vent dealers and growers from activity
in the tobacco game.
There is no lack of the weed to keep
our packing house crews going, and all
available sizing help is being utilized.
The going price for sizing is $1.20 and
$1.25 per hundred pounds, the highest
pay ever given here.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, Wis. Jan. rs, 1917.

GDGEhAONt w oill <sc, 4O1t.
The country districts are yet so thor
oughly snow bound that but little pro-
gress has been made towards preparing
the tobacco crop for market during the
week. But a limited amount of re-
ceiving is going on at delivery points
when cars can be obtained for reship-
ping. We learn that growers are sub
mitting to some deductions on account
of the condition of crops coming in and
few reflections as we'll because of high
case tobacco. But usually such differ
ences are arranged upon the farm be-
fore delivery is ordered in, so the pub
lie does not learn of these things.
Warehouse handling was started by
a couple of firms in this market during
the week. Haskins & Schwartz re-
ceived several purchases here Monday
for shipment to GAINESVILLE. The Gen
eral Cigar Co. will handle all their 1917
purchases at the Portage branch this
season.
The Eckhart packing of 1916 at vi
roqua consisting of 126Ocs has been sold
to the account of C. H. Spitzner & Son
which is the largest transaction in old
leaf in some years and in money value
the largest ever made in Wisconsin leaf.
The embargo on eastern shipments is
still in force and therefore but little to-
bacco is moving out of storage points
and manufacturers are all the time
getting shorter of stocks. Unless re-
lief comes soon some factories may be
compelled to close.

ORFORDvILLE, WIS.,, Jan. Is, 1918.

Many farmers in this section have
been delivering their tobacco crops the
past few days, and in cases where
there was no dockage on account of
frost damage, the returns have been
very remunerative. The dockage for
frost damaged tobacco has been as low
as half the purchase price in many
cases. 1t is not believed that much of
the tobacco will be rejected altogether,
for the market conditions call for every
ounce of usable tobacco produced in
the nation.
Asserting tobacco at the Soulman
warehouse is under way with force
of about twenty-five workers, furnish

pected that work here will last for
three or four months.

1t begins to look as though trouble is
brewing between the buyers and grow
ers, due to many of the latter deliver
ing carelessly stripped tobacco. From
all reports, not a very large part Of the
new crop is ready for stripping. Yet
it is being done and the tobacco is de-
livered. Being stripped too soon, be-
fore the stem is thoroughly dry, the
natural consequence means fat stems,
nothing less than damaged goods. The
packers are doing their best through
local papers and the telephone to have
early stripping stopped. Some packers
are receiving crops under protest, ap-
parently not being anxious to get

In published interview with julius
Lichtenstein of the American Sumatra
Tobacco Co., he says: II don't believe
that next years crop, either North or
South, is going to be any cheaper.
Labor and fertilizers will cost the
farmers great deal more money. l
am afraid that the manufacturers will
have to pay more money for the binder
and filler tobaccos next year. The high
price of this years binders and filters
is due partly to the damage that has
been caused by the elements in every
cigar leaf growing state in the Union.
Of course, the high prices of labor and
fertilizers have also great deal to do
with this. Even if peace should be de-
clared tomorrow, it is not going to
bring down the price of tobacco. The
foreign markets are hungry for tobac-
co. They are absolutely bare of it.
Furthermore, as long as the farmers
can get $225 bushel for wheat, and
enormously high prices for their other
produce and foodstuffs, why should
they raise tobacco if they can get more
money for other commodities. My
personal opinion is that you will never
see tobacco SO cheap as it was before
the war"

NOTE Book SKETCHES

The strong gale accompanying the
recent snow storms has carried the
sitting snow pretty generally through
the curing sheds in the country dis
tricts and onto the tobacco still hang
ing so that when a casing season comes
again growers will have to use ex-
treme care>in taking down the balance
of the crop The melting Of this snow
is likely to cause dripping from the
leaves and some high case tobacco re-
suit should the growers not watch the
conditions. There is plenty of heavy
stem tobacco to be contended with in
the early stripping that packers are
alreedy shying at and if the balance of
the crop should come in wet still fur
ther complications would ensue. The
best advice that can be given at this
writing is that the farmer should be
extremely careful about the condition
the balance Of the tobacco comes out
Of the sheds at the next soft spell.

The estimate of the Federal Depart
ment of Agriculture on the quantity
and value of the 1917 crop shows an
output of cigar leaf types amounting
to 215, SIT, 900 pounds, a decrease Of
about five million pounds against the
1916 production. This, indeed, fully
confirms the shortage Of cigar leaf
supply for this year. But while the
1917 output was short about five mil
lion pounds, it's value was twenty mil
lion dollars more than the larger crop
of 1916. This fully accounts for the
enormous increase in price of domestic
cigar leaf and such official statistics
ought to be spread by our cigar indus
try among it's distributors and retailers.
It is only by bringing home to the re-
taller the vastly increased price Of the
raw material that he will be compelled
to appreciate the necessity Of the price
advance on the products on which he
expects to make a comfortable living.
-
Because of the lack of working hands
and beasts Of burden the harvests in
Bulgaria have been gathered with great
difficulty. Dry weather lessened the
quantity Of tobacco, but seemed to i'm
prove its quality. It is the only crop
of which any definite information can
be obtained, the Bureau Of Statistics
reporting that $4,000, 900 kilos have
been gathered. AS the price of tobac-
co has gone up by leaps and bounds
the planters have made tremendous
profits. In normal times the price for
leaf tobacco ranges from twenty to
eighty cents per kilo, accorking to
quality, while at this time it is worth
from $4 to So per kilo.
