NEW YORK, July 20, 1918.

The market does not reveal any nota-
BILE transactions this week. Routine
business continues from hand to mouth
as larger transactions are impossible
on account Of the scarcity of supply.
In the meanwhile, rumors and reports
furnish sufficient material for keeping
the mind of the market in exercise.
These rumors and reports concern not
only the condition of the growing crops
but steps taken or to be taken for get
ting hold Of them when they will show
some signs Of maturity to permit judg-
ment Of their outcome. The rumors
and reports concern also the value Of
these growing crops and whether their
value will be limited to last years s
prices or demand higher scale. This
price question is great worry of pack
ers and large manufacturing concerns
who have their minds and eyes set on
the acquisition Of new crops. If the
crops turn out sound, there is no doubt
that proper price adjustment can and
will be reached between buyers and
packers, but if any kind of extensive
damage as hail should strike any Of the
crops and seriously damage their use
fulness and shorten the quantity, then
there is likely to be a perceptible
change in the present price calculations
Of the crop.-Journal.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, July 26. 1918.

EDGERToN, Wis. July 26, 1918.
The new tobacco crop is making only
fairly good progress as the need of rain
is beginning to be felt in many locali-
ties, which is likely to shorten the
yield unless relief comes soon. There
is too, considerable unevenness to be
noted in the fields. Some topping of
the early set tobacco is under way,
though this work has hardly become
general as yet.
The buying movement is still held in
allegiance by the larger operators and
whose men are still on vacation. We
learn that few contracts have been
closed by local buyers but mostly at
several points under those that pre-
vailed during the early campaign. I'm
til something more definite can be
known of the outcome of the crop it is
question whether the large manufac-
turers would care to take over the en-
tire crop of the state at the figures al
ready staked. The general concensus
of opinion seems to be it is best to
wait awhile. And this is just what the
growers would prefer to have them do.
The stemmers have sufficient stock
on hand to keep thirty or more plants
busy the balance of the season.
The shipments out of storage reach
260 cases and Z car loans of bundles to
all points from this market since last
report.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, July 13, 1918.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, July IL, 1913.
The buying orgy in the Connecticut
Valley shows no signs of abatement.
Prices in fact have jumped another
notch. On Sunday the buyers stormed
Sufield, Conn, which grows approx
imately Is per cent of the New Eng
land crop.
The growers may or may not be
aware Of the fact, but if the memo
randa of contracts, or the contracts
themselves, are dated on Sunday the
buyers cannot be compelled by any
process of law to live up to their agree
ments.
One of the outstanding features of
the unprecedented situation is the atti-
tude of the growers. They manifest
neither excitement nor enthusiasm, but
rather maintain an attitude Of actually
having done the buyer never-to-be-
forgotten favor in selling. him their
crops at any figure, which in the pres
ent instance is in effect selling ''pig
in the bag at the highest prices on
record. The phrase pig in bag" is
used not altogether inadvisedly IN the
present instance. The 1918 crop got a
splendid start and up to July 1st
had everything in it's favor. For ten
days, however, rain has been badly
needed, and while there have been local
showers here and there, there are
stretches of many miles which had not
had drop of rain in weeks until July
IA when heavy showers in the Connec-
ticut Valley broke the drouth which
threatened serious consequences to the
growing crop. The showers, however,
are sufficient for only few days and
more rain is still urgently needed. The
first week of July was cold, dry wealth
er and the second has been hot, dry

VIROQUA, Wis, July II, 1918.

While the buyers are holding their
breaths, the tobacco is developing with
wonderful rapidity and strength and
the grower is camped On the spot spot
ting the weeds and grass as they daily
demand attention. Old Mother Earth
is doing her part by the husbandmen in
giving vitality to the shooting plants
and the race for the commencement of
harvest in August now seems certain.
Some crops are so well developed that
it is quite impossible to see the ground
between the spreading rows of plants.

BEING MUSTERED OUT TODAY
Two Hundred and Sixty-Five Men
Left the Service At Camp
Dodge.

Camp Dodge, Nov. 25.-Demobiliza.
ton of the Nineteenth Division began
here today when two hundred and
sixty-five men were mustered out of
the service. 1t had been planned TO
have six hundred men mustered out
daily but that number was cut down
by the slowness of the physical ex-
aminations.
The men yere paid off as they pass
ed the examinations and were free to
go wherever they pleased as no spe-
cial transportation facilities had been
arranged.
II has been one year and three
months since the first draft quota ar
rived here and since that time one
hundred and fifty thousand men have
been mustered in.
