NEW YORK. Nov. 6. 1921

NEW IOHK, NOV. D, 1SZu.
The Tobacco Leaf sums up the Water
Street situation as follows: Ask the
majority of Water Street merchants,
whether packers or importers, for a
frank expression of opinion as to the
future of the cigar leaf prices, and the
chances are that they will come back
with request that you be more spe-
cific in your use of the word future !"
They will tell you that if you are re-
ferring to the probable price tenden-
cies of that portion of the cigar leaf
supply now classified as "old' tobacco,
they see no indication, except in some
few instances where modification is al
ready apparent, of any price recession
whatever. Regarding the future of the
new" !" with particular reference to
the domestic types, the average leaf
merchant is less willing to venture a
forecast.
Water Street follows very simple
course Of reasoning in supporting its
belief in the stability of the prices of
the raw material supplies which will be
available for use during the next eight
months. Contrary opinions notwith-
standing, Water Street sees no indica-
tion of any serious curtailment in cigar
production and is firmly convinced that
every available pound of desirable old
tobacco will De needed by the manufac-
turing industry before the new is ready
for the market Convinced of this,
leaf merchants see no good reason why
cigar leaf prices should not remain at
their present level until some as yet
unforeseen development shall arise to
change the face Of the situation.

LANCASTER. Pa, Nov 3, 1920.
From information obtained here last
week it is apparent that the growers
themselves are responsible for the
county's big cigar and leaf firms hold
ing off buying. These concerns are not
in the habit of making their plans and
intentions known prematurely, but the
rumor was current here last week that
it was their intention to begin buying
without waiting for the stripping of
the crop. When their representatives
reported, however, that the growers
had been keyed up to demand 25 and 80
cents pound, the firms decided to
keep hands off, so there has been moth
ing doing. The fact of buyers having
been around among the growers was
pretty thoroughly advertised and taken
as an indication that big firms wanted
the tobacco. All of this may have been
true enough, but the circumstance was
overlooked that the buyers were not
out to buy, but were only bent on
learning just what the growers wanted
for their holdings. They found out,
and their reports to headquarters set
tied the question of early buying.

weight a month ago. Production is
now placed at 63, 21O, 900 pounds, as
compared with 61,069, 900 year ago
and five year average of 81. .468, 900
pounds. The average yield per acre is
also estimated higher for 1920 than for
1919. The average this year is put at
1890 pounds. while it was 1870 pounds
per acre last year, and the ten year
average was 1l72 pounds.
The market remains inactive as far
as movements from first hands are con-
cerned. In the sale of old Wisconsin
the transfer of 1000 cases of Wiscon-
sin binders by Julius Marqusee & Son
to the American Cigar Co. is one of the
biggest deals in Wisconsin tobacco this
season. While the amount involved is
not mentioned, it is certain to have
been a handso lie sum, judged by the
prices in the old binder market The
sharp drop in temperature during the
latter part of last week has effectively
stopped any picking at the hanging to-
bacco. The frost can not do any harm
this year as the long season of dry
weather after harvest put the tobacco
in condition to be practically immune
to cold weather. The help situation in
the warehouses when the asserting sea-
son opens is considered favorable.
There is nc rush for help as was ex-
perienced last winter, and there is
likely to be plenty of hands to put the
1920 crop over the tables when the
time comes. This. condition prevails,
as we understand it, in all asserting
centers of the state.

The satisfactory cure of the new crop
does not of course add to the weight,
which is decidedly below the average,
nor can it put quality into papery leaves
due to too much moisture There is
some consolation, however, in knowing
that the crop ceased to deteriorate
when it was harvested. The damp was
especially welcome to growers who had
sold their crops in that it enabled them
to deliver and receive payment for the
same.

Great activity on the part of buyers
is the report heard in many sections of
the tobacco district. It is generally
admitted that many of the growers are
holding out for price around dollar
for choice grades. And no small pro-
portion of the local crop is owned by
these growers who are playing for top
notch prices.
