NEW YORK. March 20. 1919.

Buying of the 1913 crop of domestic
tObaccos continues at a fairly brisk
rate in all districts with the exception
of Ohio, where practically the entire
crop still remains in the farmers hands.
Judging from present indications it is
likely to play this wall flower role for
an indefinite period At no time, since
the beginning of the present buying
activity, in fact, has it approached in
any section anything resembling con-
certed movement. Nor is it likely at
this late date that any such movement
will be developed. Assuming that con-
ditions in the cigar manufacturing in
dustry will continue in their present
status, and even allowing for consid-
erable increase in the volume of out
put within the next few months, there
is no reason to anticipate any undue
haste on the part of the packers in the
purchase of the remainder of the 1918
crop.
In spite of recent purchases by the
packers and the entry of the large
manufacturing concerns into the mar
ket, it is a well defined assumption that
the farmers in every section, especially
where the influence of the association
has been strong, will carry over many
millions of pounds of unsold tobacco.
1t is estimated that not more than
third of the 1918 Pennsylvania has
been sold, all at prices much below the
growers original demands. A moder-
ate activity still continues at prices
ranging from sixteen to eighteen cents
for the best grades. These prices are
considered by the majority of packers
to be pretty close approach to what
should be the established figure. A
very large percentage of the lower
grades will undoubtedly be sold to the
Southern markets and for export =
Leaf.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Mch. Is,

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Mch. Is, 1919.
The season of 1919 crop prelimlnaries
is at hand. Within two weeks few
growers will plant seed beds and inside
of thirty days tobacco plants will be
above ground-protected by course by
glass or canvas. The average grower
is still undecided in the matter of acre
age. Few growers will increase the
area cultivated last year, good many
will plant the same amount of tobacco
and present indications are that con-
siderable number of farmers will re-
duce their acreage.
The tendency toward contraction
arises from variety of causes. One
of them is the general uncertainty that
pervades all business. Another is the
high cost of raising tobacco. This is
particularly true in the case of Shade
grown, which must bear the burden of
heavier labor costs than sun-grown to-
bacco, and must also have a cheese
cloth covering for the fields while cot
ton cloth goods are at the highest level
since the civil war. There has been
some recession in cotton prices since
the armistice went into effect, but they
are still high enough to make the
men shudder.
There is an element which is made
conservative by the statistical position
of the cigar leaf market, while the
grower with last years crop still on his
hands is conservative for two reasons
first, because he is still carrying one
crop, and second, because his ability to
finance the 1919 crop is restricted by
his unsold holdings.

EDGERToN. Wis. March %, 1919.
Gradually the buying movement is
slowly absorbing the balance of the
1918 tobacco crop, which in the aggre-
gate cuts thousand or two acres off
the unsold fraction a week. Packers
have added quite literally to their hold
ings of the better binder crop of late
and would still continue to do so if they
could only be assured of the labor
needed in warehouse handling. So the
shortage of help is likely to prove an
important factor in lifting the balance
of the crop. A few recent sales of this
class of goods are:
Fred Lintvedt, 16a at 22&8c.
Erick Garn, ga at 23&8c.
Ole klongsland, 15a at 22&8c.
Edw. Halverson, Ga at 24&8c.
Oscar Johnson, ga at 22&8c.
Flom & Ladd, 20a at 24&8c.
As for several weeks past the greater
bulk of the sales are made to the stem
mers at prices ranging from Is cents
down the scale. Even at the present
rate it is yet question whether the
movement is likely to absorb the crop
and growers will be compelled to carry
over the summer quite portion.
The warehouses are running short
handed at all the packing points, so
sorting operations seem destined to be
carried on beyond the usual dates.
The shipments out of storage reach
100 cases. Since last report 8 car
loads have been. received from outside
points.

Pennsylvania.


Packers and growers differ as to the
percentage of the 1913 crop so far sold,
the former placing it at nearly thirty
five per cent. while many growers put
it at fifty per cent. Naturally, they
they would prefer that half the crop
should have been already sold, in the
expectation that what remains would
bring higher prices. Not a few sales
at eighteen cents have been reported,
but nobody hears of twelve and four
teen cent sales, yet | have seen the
books of dealers and know they have
bought lot at these figures. The
prices are fifteen to sixteen
