MAXIMUM AGE LIMIT FOR NAVY
RAISED TO 40.

The maximum age limit for the
navy has been raised to 40 and in
circular issued by the Louisville
office it was said that the belief
there was to the effect that the pre-
sent draft ruling prohibiting Glass 1
men from enlisting would soon be
suspended. The navy is in great
need of expert boilermakers and fire
men.
The 472nd Engineers want men in
the deferred classes or those held for
special service to serve as craftsmen,
mechanics, chauffeurs, cooks, sur
veyors and printers. Only those who
are experienced in these lines are de
sired.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. STOCKS OF
LEAF TOBACCO ON HAND :

The Bureau of Census, under the
provision of the Cantrill law, has to-
day made public the stocks of leaf
tobacco held by dealers and manu-
facturers as of July /, 1918.
This statement, considering the
stocks of tobacco of all types shows
that there are 1,386.049,36s pounds
of tobacco on hand July /, 1918,
which shows a slight increase over
the stocks of tobacco held July 1,
1917. The increase, hawever, is so
small that it cuts but little figure.
So far as the White Burley type is
concerned, the situation is reversed,
as the stocks of Burley tobacco on
hand July 1, 1918, are less by q
million pounds than they were July
/, 1917. This. statement bears out
the conclusion that the White Bur-
ley type is constantly growing in ia
vor with the manufacturers of the
world and that the consumption of
White Burley tobacco is constantly
increasing. Last year, July !, there
WCIO Itf,VVO,VVV pOuuuo VI ouliOy
in stock, whereas July l, this year,
there are only 247,000,000 pounds of
Burley.
According to report very recently
issued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, the acreage of
tobacco in Kentucky this year is very
much reduced, owing to unfavorable
conditions at the season when the to-
bacco crop should have been set.
This great shortage of acreage, coupl-
ed with the decreased supply of Bur
ley, makes it very evident that the
tobacco crop which will be marketed
the coming winter, will sell at un-
precedented prices. There is no rea-
son in the world why tobacco should
not sell at higher price this winter
than it has ever sold at in the his
tory of the market.
