The situation in the cigar leaf mar
ket shows no change in the past few
weeks. All types and grades of cigar
leaf tobacco are in strong demand, but
the supply is small and prices are very
high. The majority Of the established
packing houses are reserving practic
ally all their stocks for their old GUS
toners. Other concerns, with fewer
established connections, are in posi-
ton to trade, and it is among these
that most of the transactions occur.
and with few exceptions the business
being done is of speculative nature.
Small stocks are the rule and these
have changed hands, in some instances,
over and over again since the begin
ming of the year. 1t is these traders
who are making the tremendously high
price scale which passes current as the
established prices of the various grades
of tobacco 1t is unnecessary to state
that where one of the old line houses
sells to it's customers, no such prices
are paid as those that are current from
day to day in the gossip of the street.
While prices are high enough, IN all
conscience, the average leaf merchant
who prefers to do business along con-
servative rather than speculative lines
is not making the amount of money he
is credited with making. And these,
after all, are the backbone Of the in
dustry. Leaf.

LANCASTER, Pa, May 1, 1915

LANCASTER, IA, May L, 1915.
The Lancaster county growers who
built their hopes in rise in prices
above even what the bulk of the 1917
crop brought, have been bitten by their
own averice, for prices are below what
they could have had The dealers still
out for crops will not pay the prices
demanded, and the growers who will
not prove reasonable are likely to have
their holdings on hand long time yet.
Some of them will pack, but the num-
Der is not large.
Considerable trouble has arisen over
some of the late deliveries, and num-
Der of growers have had to take their
crops home again. At best it is poor
policy to use much water on the stalks
and the packers have protested against
this practice year after year without
effect.
The past week or more was an ideal
one for sowing the seed and for the
growing Of the plants already started.
A trip through the country will con-
vince anybody that there will be no
scarcity of plants this season, evidence
of which is furnished by the number
and size of the seed beds that can be
seen. The growers last season appar-
emily learned a lesson when the scare
ity Of plants caused them all sorts Of
trouble and expense in getting what
they wanted. Plant scarcity was one
Of the reasons for late planting last
season, though unfavorable weather
was the main cause. Had the growers
had the required plants at hand for re-
planting when this was necessary rath-
er frequently, there were plenty of oc-
casions when replanting could have
been done.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS. May 10, 1918.


Almost ideal weather conditions have
prevailed during the week calculated
to promote rapid development of all
vegetation. Soaking rains that COM
pletely saturated the soil, followed by
warm days, is bringing along the plant
beds in a most satisfactory manner.
The young plants are appearing in
countless numbers having healthy
vigorous start and need only continu-
Gus sunshine to reach transplanting
size by the time the farmers have their
fields in readiness. The present indi
cations are that there was never finer
show for plants at this date.
There is considerable of the 1917 crop
yet to be passed over the sorting tables
before the close of the packing season.
The report is current that black rot
has already been discovered in some of
the early packed cases, which is caus-
ing some uneasiness among the holders
of high priced packings, but to what
extent such damage will develop can
not yet be foretold.
The shipments out of storage reach
$50 cases and l car of bundles to all
points since since last report.

NEW YORK, May 4, 191

NEW ORk, May Il, 1910.
A bit of very good news foated into
the leaf market yesterday in report
that the embargo on tobacco imports
from the East Indies, which was to
take place on the 18th instant, is likely
to be suspended as our shipping difficult
ties with Holland seem to have been
adjusted. If this news should become
a fact, as it is firmly believed by the
interested parties, a milestone will be
lifted from our cigar industry; Besides
this bit of good news nothing worthy
of special notice has happened except
that one of our large Western cigar
manufacturing concerns succeeded in
lifting 100 bales of Sumatra from this
market That such quantity could
still be acquired even in small parcels
here and there came as revelation.
Otherwise, old stocks have to be looked
for with lantern Of Diogenes. The
large acquisition of cigars our Govern
ment is making is naturally viewed by
the market as an element Of stimulat-
ing cigar production and is promising
helpful and advantageous increase in
cigar manufacturing if but such a
bright course is not arrested by labor
troubles which are beginning again to
harass and retard what appeared as
very bright prospect. In this emerg-
ency it is generally hoped by the trade
that the government may come to its
relief. f.-Journal.

NcTs sooN SKETCHES


ses.'
A hearing is scheduled before the
state railway commission this week
upon the petition of the carriers to
abolish all concentrated rates, matter
that affects the tobacco industry ma
terially. For years the packers have
been allowed nominal rate on tobacco
received at country points for ship
ment to central packing houses, the
roads eventually getting full tariff
rates when the tobacco goes to manu-
featuring centers. Three years ago
the roads were permitted to increase
the concentration rates from 20 to so
per cent, according to the. length of
hauls. Now the lines have united in
asking the commission for permission
to abolish this concession entirely which
if permitted will add to the expense of
packing tobacco in Wisconsin. Not
only will the tobacco dealers unitedly
oppose the proposed change in rates,
but they will have the support of the
dairy interests and egg dealers as well,
and possibly all farmer organizations
in the state. At the Farmers confer
ence in Madison last week telegram
was sent to Sec McAdoo, administra-
tor-general of railroads, asking that
the hearing be deferred until full and
complete investigation can be made of
the effect Of the proposed change. The
secretary is advised that: ''There is an
application before the railroad commits
sion of Wisconsin asking for change
in the dairy products rates Of the state
which will involve the concentration
privileges and in the end increases our
rates from rs to 40 per cent. Some of
the condensed milk factories, 'co-opera-
tive cheese and butter factories have
more produce stored up than they can
ship owing to failure of railroads to
furnish transportation which is already
affecting their credit at banks and the
farmers may be obliged TO help carry
these institutions by accepting part
payment on their products.

All possible manner of expedients are
being resorted to by the manufacturer
of the cheap cigar to keep down the
cost of his product A cigar has made
it's appearance on the market in which
the fiber Is composed of stems which
have been rolled fat for the purpose of
adapting themselves to this use, the
binder is of the kind manufactured out
of paper, colored and favored, while
the wrapper is Of the new crop which
has not been thoroughly sweated. It
is said that a man risks his life to
smoke one of these cigars. They are
made to sell at twenty dollars thou
sand in cased lots and retail at five
cents apiece. They are the poorest
cigars that have ever been placed On
the market Other makers of five cent
cigars are getting forty dollars per
thousand for them, and while the in
creased cost makes cut in profits it
permits of better stuff being used than
in the grade described above.

When our boys started for the front
they took along plentiful supplies Of
tobacco because they had heard that
the French product, besides being
scarce, was bit off color. They be-
lieved in preparedness. After they had
reached France there was another rea-
son why they wanted to keep their
pouches full Of the good American leaf.
They discovered that, in common with
their English and French comrades,
they had ''nerves. Tobacco is the
only antidote.

1t is reported in the tobacco trade
that the Dutch government has forbid
den the export Of products from Suma-
ira to the United States, including leaf
tobacco. This may explain the exist
ing strength of American Sumatra To-
bacco common stock. The undivided
surplus on January 81, 1913, was equiv
alent to S29 share on the common
stock. The fiscal year of the company
ends July 31st, and the statement for
the last half of the year will include
the profits on 80 per cent of the COM
pany's gross business. The profits for
the first six months were $11. 50 on the
common, and this was based on only 20
per cent of the annual gross business.
Earnings for the full year, after all
charges, are estimated between S35
and $40 share.

A shortage in the worlds supply of
leaf tobacco for Turkish" cigarettes
has caused American cigarette manu-
facturers to turn to japan for material
to blend with other leaf in the making
of Turkish or Egyptian cigarettes of
cheaper grades. Japanese tobacco is
milder and lighter in color and points
of test than Turkish or Virginian. It's
leaf is very thin, due probably to the
damp climate Of Japan. Tobacco can
be raised in all parts of Japan, except
ing Hokkaido and the northeast part of
the mainland. At the beginning of
each fiscal year the Imperial japanese
Government Monopoly Bureau esti-
mates the amount of tobacco that will
be needed to meet the home and for
eign demands during the coming year,
and then, through its district offices,
apportions to the different farmers and
planters the quantities to be grown by
them. According to the Japanese De-
partment of Commerce and Agricul-
ture, the following acreage was under
tobacco cultivation in Japan during the
the year 1915: 76,94O acres, yielding
1O8, 53l, $40 pounds Of tobacco.

DrinISlnu Water at Meals.

The notion that drinking water at
meals interferes with digestion, by
"diluting the gastric juices" has been
utterly exploded, notes a health opti-
mist. On the contrary, one should
drink plenty of water at meals; II
helps digestion. But it is best that
the water should be at the temperature
of the air, or cooled with very little
ice in summer Another exploded idea
Is that the drinking of water at meals
tends to make one fat. 1t is absolute
ly preposterOus. The fact, indeed, is
quite opposite, inasmuch as whatever
encourages digestion is bound to dis
courage an unwtolesome accumulation
of fatty tissue. Lest it be imagined
that these are only one mans opinions,
1t should be explained that they are
fully indorsed by the experts of the
government bureau of nutrition.

Logging In the Northwest.

In some of the high attitudes in the
numbering districts of the Northwest,
logging trains are employed to bring
big loads of cut timber from the for
ests to the mill. The snow, in way,
helps this situation, for it permits the
use of an ingenious caterpillar tractor
steam engine of great power. 1t is,
practically speaking, a locomotive Of
the cog-wheel type and the front
trucks are sleigh runners, which are
steered by man sitting in front, his
hands on the steering wheel. The "en-
gineer" concerns himself with the same
duties as though he were running on a
track, while the fireman has to keep
steam up. Specially devised sleighs,
as wide as the locomotive itself, are
used to carry the logs, and the track
less engine is of such power that 1t can
drag eight and more truckloads of this
character at time.

WAR dare Devils
First of the American Heroes to
Storm No Mans Land.
News Of United States Declaration OF
War on Germany Signal for Bound
over the Top.

It was night In the trenches OF
France, and the Canadian contingent
lay watchful for the foe, on duty at
the listening posts, and night patrols
crept stealthily about in No Mans
Land. Their bayonets were rubbed
with lamp black so that the sudden
bursting of star bomb would not be-
tray their presence.
In this particular Canadian section,
writes Henry James Buxton, were one
hundred or more stalwarts from tho
United Statesmen who went over the
international boundary into Canada
so they could enlist. These Americans
were together in one section Of the
trench.
One of these was Private "Scotty"
Anderson, farmer, telegraph operator,
who had tapped the key from Boston
to Frisco.
Scotty was long, lean and lank,
with arms like bean poles. But his
muscles were steel, and his courage
without blemish. Said Scotty to his
pal, Jack Murdock:
"This is too slow for me; why can't
we go over the top once in a while,
and take slam at the BochesT
"Time apparently amt ripe" replied
Murdoch.
"Ripe," snorted Scotty disgusted-
ly; wed soon make the Boches ripe
If we got at 'em with our bayonets."
Just then a sergeant hurried into
the trench from a communicating pas
sage.
Boys" he cried excitedly, "the
United States has declared war with
Germany"
Scotty was on his feet with a
whoop. He grabbed the sergeant and
said: "Say that again." The SER
geant repeated the message.
Scotty grabbed an American flag
with one hand and seized his gun with
the other.
Come on, Yanks," he yelled, "over
the top for us; we've got to celebrate
this"
With a whoop 100 Americans fol-
lowed Scotty over the top. The SER
geant yelled something about orders,
but he was brushed aside.
Yelling, the Americans rushed over
No Mans Land, and leaped into the
German first line trench. The on
slaught was so sudden that the Ger
mans were taken by surprise. A score
or more were shot down before they
were aware what had happened, and
nearly a score more surrendered. The
Americans returned to their own
trench with their prisoners and they
were greeted as heroes by their Cana
dian comrades.

brate the entrance of Uncle Sam on
