NEW YORK, Oct. 80, 1920.


The lull that is admitted generally in
Water Street appears to be the result
more of general business conditions re-
fected in the cigar and tobacco indus
try rather than anything intrinsic to
the industry itself, says the u. S. To-
bacco Journal. The principal basis of
doubt TO the course of prices in this
industry has arisen from the fact that
in many other lines of activity there
has been recession. No recession in
price is justifable in the cigar and to-
bacco industry if the basis of cost be
taken as a criterion. How far the
basic facts of this sort will be able to
control, after general tide has set in
the other way, is the problem that is
causing Water Street to think.
Wrappers and binders of the 1920
crop have already been taken up at
high prices. II there were a large
abundance of leaf in the hands of the
tobacco merchants there is no question
but that prices would recede, but in
many years observation Of the leaf
market there has never been a time
when the leaf trade was in so sound a
financial and technical position. None
of them has large stocks or heavy COM
mitments, nor is any disposition observ-
able on their part to change this very
happy state Of affairs.

LANCASTER, PA, Oct. 80,

LANCASTER, PA, Oct. 30, 1920.
Not single crop of Lancaster coun-
tvs 1920 harvest was sold during the
past week and the growers have come
to realizing sense that the packing
houses will not pay figure that is out
of all reason for the seasons output.
Predictions are now freely made on all
sides that the buying at 25 and 30 cents
is all done and over and that when the
big houses get into the field they will
be able to secure all they want at 20
cents and even less. The buying in big
lots will hardly come now till stripping
time. Rot has made appearance in
some of the crops now curing in the
sheds and that part Of the crop that
was cut in an immature state is not
coming up to expectations and will
have to go into the low grades. The
crop that was allowed to mature before
being cut is curing nicely with plenty
of gum on light leaf. Growers who
are not pressed for money claim that
they will hold out for their prices and.
If necessary, have their packing done
at home.

HARTFORD, CT., Oct. 30, 1920.
Every quiet market is the comment
of buyers locally when asked about
crops changing hands. 1t is estimated
that about 85 per cent of the Havana
seed tobacco has been purchased and
from 10 to rs per cent of the Broad
leaf. The Havana has brought from Dc
to so cents a pound and the Broadleaf
from 70 to 80 cents. AS detailed reports
come in from growers the full effect of
that devastating storm of September
can be seen. One warehouseman esti-
mated that the loss would total be-
tween 1000 and $500 acres of tobacco,
reports the Tobacco Journal.

THEY WENT ON REAL EASY
BUT THEY CAME OFF HARD

Margaret Ward of the county
clerks office Tuesday experimental
to considerable extent with a pair Of
handouts. Her idea, she said, was
to see IL they were really, as strong
as the sheriff said they were. They
slipped on rather easy, it seems, but
when the time came to take them
off-there was nothing doing. Not
a key in the court house would fit
them and for several hours Mrs.
Ward and employees of the office
vainly attempted to take them off.
Finally a key was made that would
unlock the cuffs and the amateur
experimenter was released. She now
says that after this she most certain

It was an historical masterpiece as
well as thrilling motion picture that

ating when he produced Scarlet
Days." which is coming to the Palace
theater tomorrow. He aimed to tell
the glowing story of the old Califor-
MIA of the days of 40, portraying on
the screen what Bret Harte has so
entertainingly told in fiction. With
this end in view, Mr.. Griffith journey
ed with his company to old Tuolumne,
a deserted mining town which in it's
palmy days was two miles Of miners
huts, saloons, and dance halls. Amid
the ruins the eminent producer recre-
ated the old village and the characters
in "Scarlet Days" are the red-blooded
folk who used to live there in the
days of the gold rush.
Rosy Nell dance-hall woman, and
Alvarez, the mild-mannered, dashing
bandit. at once the terror of the
sheriffs and the best friend of the
poor, are the central figures. both
authentic personages of California
history, and thrilling story is said
to have been woven about them
Richard Barthelmess, the brilliant
young actor, is the desperate and d
thoroughly competent cast interprets
the other roles. 1t is a Paramount
