NEW YORK, Oct. IL, 191


It is to be doubted if there was ever
time when the system whereby cigar
leaf tobacco reaches the cigar manu-
facturers through the packers was ever
better justified by its works than this
year. There has been disposition of
late years to question whether the
packing industry was natural and
normal part of these processes or
whether the packer was mere mid
dleman, who handled the tobacco and
extracted profit without returning
sufficient quid pro quo. The fact that
the larger cigar manufacturers have
been going more and more into the
packing business, so far as their own
supplies are concerned, buying from
the farmers and operating their own
packing houses, has had a great deal to
do with the prevalence of this opinion.
But the events of the past year have
given the lie to any such idea. For the
manufacturer who has Jared best in the
past year of stress and storm has been
the manufacturer who was "tied up"
with some packer, who was under obli-
cation to see that the manufacturer
requirements were met in one or all of
the types of leaf that he needs. The
free lance manufacturer, who had been
in the habit of buying wherever he
could get tobacco that met his notions
with respect to price, ETC., has Jared
badly. He has not only been obliged,
by reason of the rapid increase in the
price of leaf tobacco, to pay more for
his raw material, but the scarcity of
certain grades and types Of tobacco,
especially of binders, has endangered
his business. Even where, by reason
of the scarcity Of stocks, the packer
has been unable to supply his regular
customer, he has been able to give no.
tice in advance of the coming scarcity
and high cost, and he has been able to
direct his customer to places where
stocks could be had. One prominent
packer declares that the best service
he ever gave his customer was when
he gave him notice, in advance, of the
impending scarcity of binder stocks.
Hereafter manufacturers would prefer
to have some responsible packer charg-
ed with the task of looking after their
requirements than take chance In the
general market. journal.

NEW YORK, Oct. 8, 1918.

The domestic leaf market, so far as
the new crop is concerned, continues
dormant with no signs of an awakened
activity in the near future unless there
is a decided break in the prices at
which the growers are holding their
bumper harvest. The majority of pack
ers express confidence, however, that
it is only question of short time
when the farmers must come to fuller
realization of the fact that the present
high prices are prohibitive and that a
break must follow. Several packers
expressed the opinion, this week, that
signs of the expected break are already
being manifested in various sections
One interesting theory has been ad
vanced that many growers in the East
are already inclined to accept the prices
offered by the buyers but they are pre-
vented in many cases by their financial
hackers, the local banks. Whatever
the reason may be, however, there
seems no question but that the present
deadlock will continue as long as the
present prices prevail. 1t is safe TO
assume that the entire cigar tohacro
crop of the country is now safelv in
sheds. Leaf.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET t
EDGERToN, WIS.,. Oct. Is, 1918.


So far during October fine Indian
summer weather has prevailed with
unusually warm temperatures that has
proven decidedly favorable to the cur
ing the shielded tobacco crop. There
is very little of the late harvested por-
tion even but what has cured down to
the stem and beyond any damage from
shed damage or freeze. Indications
point to an early commencement of
stripping were growers in position to
attend to this work
The buying movement is still in the
dumps everywhere throughout the
state so far as our information goes.
Unbroken quietude also seems to DOM
mate the leaf markets in the east and
the policy of waiting prevails general
ly. Peace rumors and the uncertainty
of the new internal revenue taxes all
tend to unsettle market conditions.
These are abnormal times and dealers
are proceeding with great deal of
caution hoping for break in prices to
be able to even up on their early pur-
chases of the new crop.
In the liquidation of the H. Neuber-
ger Co. in New York last week under
the supervision of the alien property
custodian, 208cs of Gebhardt Ohio leaf
sold at 27c, 130cs thinner Spanish at
25c, 35cs of Ohio filler at 20c and 2cs of
Dutch at 25c. These tobacccs were
the joint account packing of A. Jen-
son & Son at Edgerton and were sold
on Mr.. Jenson's bid.
The shipments out of storage reach
$50 cases from this market to all points
since last report.

So far as known the last crop of to-
bacco was harvested last Thursday,
when Giert Larson of Pleasant Ridge
put in three fourths of an acre and just
escaped the hard frost of the night to
follow. Mr.. Larson grew larger acre
age than in past years and had to await
the completion of new shed to finish
harvest. The Censor has not learned
of crop being frost damaged this
year. Censor.

The old nickel cigar, we are told, has
been wiped out forever. The consumer
has become accustomed to paying z and
cents for his favorite smoke and will
learn to go higher. Perhaps so, but
the war will not last forever either.

ATLANTA CHILDREN LEAD
ALL STATE IN SALES

Atlanta, March 2.-Atlanta school
children are leading all cities of 200
600 popultion in the country in the sale
and purchase of thift stamps, and a
mong the various colleges and private
schools there is equally as good work
Girls of Elizabeth Mather College,
very remarkable school where fash
ionable students are taught the prac-
teal as well as the cultural things,
have organized a War Savings Socitey
and are investing all their pin money
in thift stamps. America is the rich
est nation on earth and yet the most
extravagant Eighty per cent of the
nations wealth is owned by three per
cent of the nations population. No
thing but thrift stamps and savings
stamps, both in peace as well as war
can save America from a condition
of violent socialism toward which it is
now inevitably trending.

NO MORE FLOUR
AND SUGAR TO OFFER

Atlanta, March 2.-After May LIST,
the Food Administration will place a
ban on advertisements of -four and SUI
gar on account of the fact that both
these commodities are extremely
short and the Food Administration is
exerting every possible effort to cut
down consumption in order to avert
an actual and distressing lack of
them in many commodities.
Farmers who have bought greater
supply of flour than the regulations
permit would do a wise thing by dis
tributng their surplus among their
neighbors at actual cost, or selling it
back to the dalers from whom they
bought it. The Food Administration
is going after flour hoarders in a sys-
tematic and determined manner, and
expects to round up all of them
The rule against slaughtering hens
and pullets is being rigidly enforced,
so as to conserve the supply of eggs
Merchants, peddlers or other dealers
having live hens or pullets on hand
will be prosecuted, unless they can
show positively that the same are on
hand and to be sold for laying purpos-
es only.

perience in torpedo boats in the hard
winters. off this coast,
Here are some of the things, which
when donned, make some of the men
look more like Arctic explorers than
bluejackets:

but the eyes, nose and mouth; light
knitted coat sweaters, jerseys and
cardigan jackets; knitted mittens and

gloves extra heavy coarse undercloth-

length stockings; leather sea boots;
wind proof khaki-colored trousers;
great coats lined with lambs wool.
The last named are worn over the
life jackets and help to make up the
most servIdeable combination worn
by Americans over here. They keep
the men warm on damp cold days

squalls are hourly affairs and you
