English. Italian. French, Hebrew
and Polish. Such a concert Gary
has never heard before. and per-
haps never will again. To lose
such an opportunity to listen to the
famous European tenor. Josef Ro-
senblatt. means the loss Of a great
opportunity. Mr.. Rosenblatts
phonograph records sell at a pre-
MUM all through the United States.
He is known as the man with the
wonder voice. He earned the title
of the greatest singer in many
countries. AT his first appearance
in the United States several years
ago the Chicago Opera Company
offered him large salary to sing
with that organization. but New
York City was his choice. which
offered hlm greater opportunity.

NEW YORK, June 10. 19

NEW YORK, June 10, 1920.
In the weekly review of the tobacco
market the Tobacco Leaf states that
an increase in the price of cigars is a
certainty, and bases this on the facts
Of the high price paid for the Sumatra
wrapper tobacco, the corresponding adj
vancein the price of the Havana filters
and the jump taken by the Porto Rico,
and added to this the fancy figures paid
for binders. There are no evidences to
substantiate the opinion that the peak
has been reached in the prices on to-
bacco and tobacco products as long as
the cigar leaf tobacco continues to ad-
vance in cost, and the demand for these
cigars remains strong. Water Street
is agreed that the leaf price will
not go down. The supply of cigar leaf
in storage is lower than ever before at
this time of the year, and no surplus
available beyond the actual need of the
cigar industry at it's present rate of
production; and cigar production is on
the increase. The price of tobacco is
governed by the law Of supply and de-
mand-the speculative element is en-
terely absent in the cigar leaf trans
actions. No leaf stock is held by spec
ulators operating on borrowed capital.
When these merchants are going ahead
putting their capital into tobacco mer-
chandise, it is an evidence of their faith
of the safe status of the market. Pur-
chases of Sumatra of the 1918 during
the past weeks reached $500 bales. The
first shipment of the new wrappers is
expected to reach New York by the
end of the month. The new Cuban
crop is going at high figures, higher
than last year, and indications are that
stampede like the one staged at Porto
Rico will ensue.

EDGERToN, WIS. June 25, 1920

EDGERToN. WIS.,. June %, 1920
There are several parties riding
through the country looking up crops
of unsold 1919, but very little buying is
done. The larger firms are holding
quiet, keeping busy with the work GO
ing on in the warehouses. Several
crops in the neighborhood of Stoughton
are looking for buyers, but things are
not moving. The farmers in the south
ern part of the state have resumed
transplanting on large scale. The
weather cleared before the end of last
week, and everybody got busy pulling
plants and fitting the fields for the
planter. Many who were somewhat
behind with the work, and had full size
plants, were in the fields Sunday and
quite good deal was set. The pros
poets, where the weather holds, are
that the greatest number of fields will
have been set before the end of this
week. This is unusually early and
promises well for an early harvest.
Here and there considerable replanting
must be~done. Local showers, and in
some instances rather severe hail
storms, visited some neighborhoods
and washed out newly planted fields
or cut number of plants; here re-
planting must be done, though the ex-
tent of such areas is limited. In the
northern valleys where the planting
was done early, last weeks heavy
downpours did considerable washing in
the new fields. Speaking of the Wis
consin tobacco area as whole, the out
look is assuring. The fields show splen-
did evenness. and the plants have got
start that is pleasing to the growers.
If weather conditions remain favorable,
there should be very little late tobacco
this season. The packers speak we'll
of the 1919 as it is coming through the
process of the sweat. The general re-
mark is, 1T looks good to me. -

The Auction Tobacco Sales Co. is the
name of an experiment begun in Lam
caster county, Pa. While the company
is not yet incorporated, but the pro-
moters have launched plan TO lease
the Fair Grounds exhibition building
for use as public sales floor for sell
ing the county tobacco at public auc-
ton. A meeting for the purpose OF in
forming the growers Of the virtues of
this method of selling their tobacco was
held on the Fair Grounds on June 49,
The community idea of handling tobacco
in Lancaster county is arousing consid-
cradle interest Many will attend the
meeting out of curiosity, if for no other
reason.

A statewide tobacco survey will be
made in Connecticut this summer. A
force of workers under the leadership
of the Hartford county agent of the
farm bureau will ascertain the causes,
botanical and chemical, of whatever
troubles the tobacco growers have to
overcome in producing first class crop.
The work will have the cooperation of
the agricultural colleges and expert
ment farms in the state. The labor
situation is somewhat relieved by the
arrival in the tobacco sections of negro
hands from Virginia. Strikes preva-
lent In the factory centers have also
contributed workers for the farmers.
The transportation situation is still
causing the growers anxiety because
they can not get the fertilizers they
bought, and if matters do not improve
very soon it may affect the size of the
acreage. Still the Connecticut valley
growers are very optimistic as to the
outlook for 1920. They feel certain
that prices are going to stay up, and
that their profits will not diminish,
though the cost of growing the crop
has increased considerable since last
season. If the fertilizer and the can
vas can be had in time, the acreage of
Shadegrown may run up to over 5000
acres, which would be within 500 acres
of the largest crop ever raised The
1919 Havana Seed is ready to sample,
and sampling of the new Broadleaf is
now going on, and some Broadleaf Sec
ond has already been sold at 81. 90 per
pound. The crop is perhaps 40 per
cent short in leaf suitable for binder
purposes, according to local observers.

AUCKLAND. New Zealand, Dec. So
America took a commanding lead IN
the Davis Cup lawn tennis champion
ship tournament here to-day when
William T. Tilden defeated Norman

10--S. ca, 1-6, Ga. and William NJ.
Johnston defeated Gerald L. Patterson
IN straight sets. 6-3. 81. 81.
A very hot sun and a little wind and
rain had left the court slow but solid,
and the showers of the past few days
seemed not to have injured its playing
surface
Tilden served first from the north
ern end of the court. and he and
Broolxes each won their services until
the first set stood "three-all." Brookes
then won on Tilden's service and broke
through with his own and led. to 8.
Tilden responded by winning the two
next games, saving the last game with
a fine service.
For a moment Tilden was off ball
snce, and Brookes again won on the
Americans service. but played weakly
and lost his own. Each player then
won twice, but Tilden managed to rail-
ly and won the set. 10 to S.

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-An annual ma
tionaI track meet. In which every col
lege and university in the National
intercollegiate Athletic Association
would have representatives, and the
formation of an Olympic association to
take charge of. and interest itself in, the
American Olympic committee were in
dorsed at the fifteenth annual meeting
OF the association to-day. Committee re-
ports favoring legislation of interest to
collegiate circles as we'll as undergradu-
ate bodies were in addition to the trans
action Of routine business.
The suggested meet would bring to-
gether athletes from all over the coun-
try, and would be in the nature Of an
annual American college Olympic. The
resolution passed regarding an Olympic
association would place in 1t the respon-
committee which would use every en-
deavor TO gather together team of
Americas best athletes.
A. A. Stagg, athletic director of the
University of Chicago, declared the
committee should be representative Of
the best In the country. whether college
or Industrial associations. He also made
a plea to Eastern college men to divorce
themselves from amateur athletic
politics.
Palmer Z. Pierce. president of the
association. who presided. declared that
the war had caused widespread interest
in boxing He urged some action be
taken to lend support to the establish

CRESCENTS SCORE
AT SQUASH TENNIS
Defeat D. X. E. Squad and Tie
for Second Place in Team
Standing.
STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

With Crescent Athletic Clubs victory
over d. K E. Club on the latter's courts
the first half of the tournament for the
Class B metropolitan squash tennis
championship was completed yesterday.
The fraternity players were unable to
place more than one match out OF seven
to their credit but into two other con-
tests the Crescents We're carried into
extra games and were hard pressed to
win.
The closest tussle was the one in
which c. W. Dingee triumphed over w.
Taylor of the D. K E. After the lead
had alternated half dozen times In the
first two games the rivals played prac-
tically on even terms all through the
third. Taylor came from behind and
set the deciding game at 13-all. The
fastest squash of the match followed.
and it was anybody's victory up to the
time that Dingee by well directed shot
into the corner ended the tussle in his
favor at 1913.
The Crescents as a result of the VIC
tory moved up to tie with Columbia
Club for second place in the team
standing. Yale Club continues the only
unbeaten team In the tournament and
probably will remain SO for the rest OF
the series unless the rival squads are
strengthened. The tournament will be
resumed in two weeks.
