NEW York, March 8, 1919.


The accelerated activity in the pur-
chase Of the 1918 crops is the point of
principal interest in the local leaf to-
baeco trade, the general dullness in the
cured leaf market leaving the packers
and tobacco merchants with plenty of
leisure on their hands At the bottom
of the buying movement is the fact
that April /, by almost universal accep-
tanee the date upon which farmers set
tie their outstanding accounts and start
on a new fiscal year, is approaching,
and many farmers require the means
TO liquldate their indebtedness with the
grocery and general supply man. Farm
qers who are well fortified with capital,
and who do not need money for imme-
diate purposes, as general thing are
holding out for their preconceived
prices. Most of the buying that is be-
ing done in the various tobacco grow
ing sections is being done at prices
mueh under the prices named by the
farmers organizations. Connecticut,
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are the
sections in which most buying has been
done. In Ohio the break has not been
made yet, and the 1918 crop of Ohio is
more nearly intact than the crop grown
in any other sections of the country. =

Wisconsin Tobacco Market
EDGERTON, WIS.,. March IA, 1919.

EDGERTON, WIS.,. March Ia, 1919.
There is force enough now behind
the movement of the tobacco crop that
bids fair to carry it along until the bal
ance of the unsold 1918 tobacco is alb
sorbed for tremendous amount of the
crop has passed out of the hands of
growers the past few weeks. Good
judges estimate that fully two thirds
of the Wisconsin acreage has
been lifted to date. With prospect
that the crop will be taken up the large
operators are likely to see to it that
prices will not further decline and that
late comers in the market have to
come in on an equal footing. The bet
ter crops that promise to yield fair
proportion of binders readily bring
from 20 to 25 cents, but by far the
larger amount is sold on stemming
basis, ranging from IL to Is cents.
The Liggett & Myers concern have
their buyers in the country districts
and purchasing quite literally. The
most Of the packers have placed con-
tracts for their low grades, relieving
them of any uncertainty as to salvage.
Receiving is going forward about as
rapidly as conditions will permit at all
points. The P. Lorillard Co. had the
largest receiving day of the year here
Thursday when over 10000 pounds
were taken in.
The shipments out of storage reach
225cs. Since last report 18 car loads
have been received from outside
points.

Pennsylvania.


LANCASTER, Pa, March 6, 1919.
Fully twenty FIVE per cent of the crop
has now been sold, for numerous pick
ers have been nibbling at it. While
the early sales were at twelve cents,
very few dealers thought that would
be the ruling price, so nobody was sur
prised when it was advanced to fifteen
cents. A number of sales have been
made at seventeen cents, but the bulk
of the sales have been below that fig
ure and packers will buy only at their
own figures.
There is no buying of entire districts
by big outside concerns now, but the
fact that dealers are out in numbers
has stiffened the hopes of the growers,
and it is the daily visitation of buyers
that is causing the growers to grip
their crops hard for bigger money.
In recent years, since the presence of
agitators. who have tried to make the
grower believe the packer is always on
the alert to beat him, the growers have
been casting about for some substitute
for the old plan of marketing the crop.
The sales floor was talked about, be-
cause it was the custom of Virginia and
Kentucky, but somehow, nobody could
get the plan started for trial. 1t did
not seem to meet conditions here Lo-
cal companies were suggested, but none
were ever formed and then few years
ago the Lancaster Seed Co. was organ
lied In it's inception it was designed
to be much like the new corporation,
but circumstances caused changes, and
it is now virtually packing company,
and nothing else.

UNCLE SANS MONEY
BEST IN THE WORLD
poIer Looks Good To Boys Coming
Home After Seeing Only Foreign
Currency for Months.

Just how good American money
looks to a man away from home is
illustrated by the story told by one Of
those boys who fought in France in
the war for the preservation of civil
lzation, and who afterwards saw ser
vice across the border in Germany.
Sergeant H. II. Coffee was attached
10 Company L, 35+th Infantry. and for
six months was at Trier. Germany, 80
miles from Nuremberg Now he Is
back home.
while we were in France" said
Sergeant Coffee. I'VE were paid IN
French money And afterward when
We were in Germany. we were paid In
German money. The difference be.
tween the French and German money.
rs compared with United States mon.
ey, is amazing It is printed on white
paper, and one gets an awful wad Of
V for comparatively small quantity
Of American money.
when we got this foreign stuff the
boys were very liberal with it. They
would gamble with it, would lend it
and handle it very carelessly. But
when we got to Brest on our way
home, and that money was exchanged
Tor real American money, all that lib.
erality disappeared, and it was guard.
Cd sealously."
That is one of the lessons the war
has taught American money. any
Dromise to pay on the part Of Uncle
Sam, is mighty valuable in the eyes
Of the world That is why the Liberty
Bonds found so ready a market, and
that is why the War Savings Stamps
look Just as good as money. They are
both evidences Of Indebtedness on
Uncle Sans part and his written
promise to pay. There is no record
yet that he ever failed to meet an
obligation.

HE TELLS WHAT HE
THINKS OF AMERICA
Syrian Says Now Is Time For Every
Man To Prove Patriotism-An-
swer Found in War Savings
Stamps.

II sometimes takes the newcomer
born is often too close to the situa.
ton to realize what this country
means to the world today. He is used
TO all that it offers. taking it as a mat.
ter Of course, and frequently loses the
vision in sordid detail; while the
3ew-comer-but listen to what one Of
them had to say.
He Is George e. Rihbany of the
1919 class OF the Boston High School
Of Commerce and he came to this
country from his native land, Syria,
when he was 10 years old. In four
minute speech on the value of War
Savings Stamps, given at the school
recently, he said IN closing:
Hate is not characteristic of the
American people. but the Germans
taught US unwillingly how to hate
them. Now it Is q sin not to hate the
Spirit the Hun showed and not TO abol
sh it from the face of the earth. OF
the latter we are positively sure be.
tice is a hundred times stronger than
was the German passion for conquest
II never entertained the idea Of be
poming an orator and I am sure that
lack oratorical ability, but such
qualifications are unnecessary on an
occasion like this, because the only
and best inducement to a true Ameri.
can is the call Of his duty and govern
ment, and not even the best GRAFTON Of
the greatest speaker Of all times.
Whether we all realize it or not,
we are now in the midst Of a period
which will be known to all the op.
pressed peoples Of the world as the
Amerioanization period. Now is the
time for every one Of US to prove
whether he Is a sham American or
genuine American"
The practice OF thrift and the purt
chase OF War Savings Stamps are just
pow good indications of the genuine
American. They make for financial
Independence. freedom, prosperity and
happiness.

HAND GRENADE BANKS
WILL SOON Be READY
Children Are Urged TO Begin Saving
Money At Once So That They
Will Not Lose Any Time.

Some $50, 900 hand grenade banks
will be ready for distribution in the
Fifth Federal Reserve District by
August 20, according to a statement
issued at the War Loan Organization
Of this district
Every one Of these hand grenades
was manufactured to carry destruc
ton to the Huns, and now, with per.
cussion cap and explosive removed,
they are to serve in the campaign for
thrift. Made into penny-slot banks
they will be lent, one TO each child
under seventeen years old who calls at
a bank Then, IL enough money TO
purchase one or more War Savings
Stamps is saved in a specified time,
the hand grenade becomes the prop
erty Of the child.
There has been some delay in
Washington in getting the grenades
ready for distribution, due to the large
number that had to be prepared for
their new capacity, but 1t is nov as,
sured that they will shortly be ready
Every child who would like a real
souvenir Of the great war can get II
by calling at the bank as soon after
August 20 as possible, for there will
probably be more than 100000 chill
dren in the district who will want the
grenades, and the supply is neoessar
fly limited
Meanwhile, the children are urged
to begin saving at once so that they
may have running start" whom the
grenade banks are delivered. The
sooner enough money is saved TO buy
a War Savings Stamp the sooner the
hand grenade belongs to the child,
and the sooner the child begins to
save the sooner the desired end will
be reached.

those most intimately concerned with
the result.
The HARVEST OF THE FARM
Light, righteousness and the restor-
alton of waste places follow wherever
these workers give themselves to such
doing of the will of the owner of the
farm. Slowly light has broken forth
from our national attempts at demo-
crscy until the world turns toward it.
We are trusted in many quarters as no
other nation is so that we have secured
among some a reputation for righte-
BUSINESS that is our glory. We are look
ed upon as repairers of breaches in the
civilization of today and the world looks
toward US eagerly, hopefully, believing
that thru our help there will come some
measure of relief from the intolerable
conditions in which the world finds itself
and it has been the teachings of Jesus
Christ actively applied to the varied
situations and relations that has made
such position possible.
