Learns Of the War.

A woman was discovered in this
city yesterday who has lived all
through the great war and did not
know that 1t was going on. She is an
aged woman Of German birth. Her
age kept her son from telling her
about the horrors of the invasion OF
Belgium and of the sinking of the Luz
sitania. He didn't wish her to worry
and fret. But the day of the peace
demonstration made 1t impossible to
keep silent. The old lady heard the
whistles blowing and the crowds
cheering and she demanded TO know
what 1t was all about. When they told
her she raised her hands In a gesture
of imprecation and said: "Oh. II only
/ could get these two hands on the
kaiserl" The interesting part OF her
story is that her husband was Ger

the narrative of journey in central

with the sultan of Maghreb for special
treaties in which he conceded to the
Italians the right to pass through CEN

LANCASTER, PA, June Is, 1919.
Up to the present time about IS PEI
cent of the 1919 tobacco crop of Lam
caster county has been planted. The
plants are unusually well grown, for
they have been in the beds longer than
usual. The rest of the planting will
now run along up to July, for quite a
number of growers favor late planting.
believing that the best results are then
obtainable.
The, question of acreage was dis
cussed at last weeks meeting of the
Lancaster County Tobacco Growers
association, when it was reported that
the acreage in some sections was nor
NAL, while in others it would be from a
fourth to third less than last year.
1t was announced that in reports re-
ceived from adjoining counties, York,
Chester and Lebanon, the growers
expected to cut down their acreage
one-half in many instances.
No estimate was made as to the tota
reduction for Lancaster county, but q
well-known local packer said the deal
ers who had been looking up the mat.
ter thought the cut would not be over
5 per cent, which would not occasion
any alarm among the trade. Other
packers do not believe the reduction ir
acreage will be that much.

Wisconsin Tobacco Market

EDCERToN, Wis. June 27, 1919.
The present week will see the trans.
planting of the 1919 tobacco crop prac.
tically completed in all sections of the
state. Local showers have been plen-
tiful throughout most of the growing
sections, which has given the young
plants an early roofing and permitted
the resetting of most of the fields.
The general outlook of the starting
of the crop is quite satisfactory. Later
statistics may show that there has
been slight reduction over the acre
age of the crop of year ago, but nc
one travelling over the country has yet
been able to discover any signs of it.
A few more warehouses have closed
operations during the week, but the
help released has been eagerly absorb
ed by those firms who have plenty OF
work on hand.
The picking away at the remnants of
the 1918 crop is still going on and every
day witnesses the delivery of tobacco
at the receiving points.
The shipments out of storage reach
cars of cases and cars of bundles,
while cars of bundles have been re-
ceived since last report.

DAYTON. OHIO. June 16,

DAYTON, OHIO, June 16, 1919.
The past week has shown the long
expected activity in the 1918 crop, and
buying has developed in very lively
manner. All the big manufacturers and
several of the larger packers are riding
with full forces, and considerable to-
bacco was bought, especially in the
Zimmer end, for which they are paying
fifteen cents running for wrappers and
filters, with twelve cents prevailing for
the Gebhardt.
Considering the condition of the crop
this movement does not indicate cheap
tobacco year hence, and the packers
who have been holding 1917 tobacco
now see an opportunity to get out with
out loss. Everything in old tobacco
has stiffened and will continue to adj
vance as long as the buying of the new
continues at it's present pace.

NEW YORK. June 19. 1919.

NEW AOnhS julie 40, AO4Os
The current of optimism which has
been manifested in Water Street cir
cles for the past few weeks gains
steadily in strength, as additional evi-
dence is furnished of the revival of
confidence in the future of the cigar in
dustry among the manufacturers. There
is nothing Psychological in this op-
timistic reaction, which is the result of
a logical course of reasoning, based up
on concrete facts already at hand.
While freely admitting that there is
still much room for Improvement in the
cigar industry, Water Street is con-
vinced that the signs point unmistak-
ably toward an early revival of activ-
ity, such as the trade has never before
experienced.
Water Street bases it's conclusions
upon number of significant facts
which permit of but one Interpretation,
and that is that the feeling in manu-
featuring circles regarding the imme-
diate future of the industry has under
goue radical change for the better.
The present lively interest which man.
ufacturers are showing in leaf tobacco,
packers conclude, with good logic, must
mean that the manufacturers see the
need for the early replenishment of
their stocks. The fact that they are
accepting the strong probability of a
continued high average of prices for
raw material in philosophical spirit.
is taken as a wholesome indication that
the manufacturers have ceased to spec
ulate with the idea that cigar prices
may be reduced, and have come to a
definite decision to shape their plans
accordingly.
The demand which is now being made
upon the packers for binder tobacco,
and the considerable sales of eastern
tobaccos for binder purposes which
have already been made, would further
indicate that manufacturers are fully
convinced that no price advantage can
be gained by delay in the purchase of
these tobaccos.
What the filler market will do, nat
urally, is still problematical, but a
number of conservative packers ex-
press the conviction that domestic filler
grades will not be bought at as low a
figure as was thought probable some
six or eight weeks ago. That filler
prices will be lower than last year is
certain, but how much lower they will
be, when the re-sweated stocks come
into the market next fall, is question
which no packer will attempt to fore
cast i, ,eaf
