NEW YORK, June IL, 1919.


A canvass of local packers of domes-
tic leaf tends to further strengthen the
belief that the long -looked-for resump-
tion in market activity has begun. Ev-
cry packer states that the interest in
raw material of all grades is pronounc-
ed and that inquiries from manufacture
ers are numerous. Water Street is, in
fact, unanimous in the declaration that
henceforward there will be continu-
Gus, though not sensational, demand
for all types of domestic cigar leaf to-
bacco, which will keep the market
wholesomely active throughout the
summer and fall months.
The larger holders of Connecticut
Havana Seed grades, suited to binder
purposes, report that the bulk of their
holdings of these grades have already
been disposed of, and there is no ques-
tion of the fact that the Broadleaf
packings will be in active demand at
prices averaging considerably higher
than those prevailing for the 1917.
Packers are of the opinion that the
filler market has touched bottom and
that the tendency from now on will be
toward somewhat higher levels. This
assumption is borne out by the recent
buying activity in Pennsylvania and by
the fact that the remainder of the 1918
crop in the growers hands is being ab-
sorbed at prices averaging two to three
cents higher than heretofore. Leaf.

Pennsylvania.

LANCASTER, PA, June II, 1919.
During the past week, probably due
to the comparatively small acreage of
the 1918 crop still held by the growers,
thew have stiffened in their demand on
prices. Nothing more is heard of 20
cents land over" tobacco, but the de-
mand runs from IL to Is cents for the
same kind of crops that were recently
selling for 10 cents. There are but few
big outside firms still in the field, and
their agents are barely nibbhng, but
doubtless they are prepared to buy up
literally, provided prices come down to
where they want them. The fact that
some local buyers who were not in the
field earlier in the season have now be-
gun buying, though in small way,
may have done something towards
strengthening the growers demands.
During the past week the quantity of
unsold tobacco was reduced to some
extent, and Is per cent of the crop is
probably about what is left in the
growers hands.
It is surprising how little one hears
about the threatened shortage in the
1919 acreage. Old packers, who know
our growers we'll, say there is no like
lihood of the growers curtaliing the
acreage.
More than thre7-quarters of the crop
has been planted during the present
week. The plants were of exception
ally large size, as the adverse weather
prevented their early planting from the
seed beds to the fields, thus the growth
was abnormal in the beds. Prices for
the plants are higher than last year.
Farmers who have planted or are
planting tobacco in the sod fields will
have fight on their hands this season
against cutworm, says Farm Agent
Bucher. t'The worms are out galore,
and will have to be watched very close
ly."

Wisconsin Tobacco Market

EDGERTON, Wis, June ~, 1919.
Business throughout the tobacco
growing sections af the state is entire
ly overshadowed by the strenuous eff.
forts of growers to transplant the new
crop in the field. The remarkable ad.
vance of plant beds has pressed every
farmer, and his family as well, to work
long hours in order to keep abreast OF
the situation. Good judges estimate
that rs per cent of the crop has already
been pitched in the fields and at the
earliest date ever known in this state.
The week has been an extremely warm
one and it is possible that considerable
resetting for burned out plants and cut
worms will be necessary. But the soil
is in fine tilth, containing plenty OF
moisture and ought to secure a good
stand in the fields.
The handling season is drawing to q
close with a few of the large firms.
The General Cigar Co. will close pack
ing operations at all points the present
week.
The shipments reach cars of bun
dies in and cars of bundles out since
last report.

HARTFORD. CT. June ]

HARTFORD, CT, June IA, 1919.
Tobacco growers in Connecticut are
busy these days, transplanting and get
ting the plants into the ground for the
season. The extremely hot weather
last week greatly encouraged the farm
ers in their transplanting work, for the
weather has much to do with the sue
cess of this phase of tobacco cultiva-
ton.
In East Hartford, Windsor, Thomp-
sonville, Enfield, Glastonbury and Tar
iffville the farmers have been active in
transplanting, so far this month. Oft
entimes women are seen working in the
fields, and the time is made so much
the nearer by their efforts.
Connecticut tobacco growers do not
expect any labor shortage this season.
At all events, there is no dearth of
labor Just now, and it is not expected
there will be any all summer. This is
Just the opposite condition from last
summer when most of the men were
employed in munition factories or were
at some other war work.
More and more motor tractors are
being imported into Connecticut by the
tobacco men for work on the planta-
tions. These machines are proving
great time savers, and, consequently,
are fast taking the place of all other
methods in the same tine.
