NEW YORK, March 10, 1920.

NEW 1ORh, march ~, 1SAV.
Water Street has developed rather
keen interest in the Pennsylvania
Broadleaf of the 1918 vintage. More
than six thousand bales have been sold,
and the market is still active. The
need of this tobacco for the cent cigar
is given as the main reason for it's sud-
den popularity. The crop in coming
through the sweat has developed quail
ties that were not anticipated for it,
and it is moving up as worthy rival
of the 1919. A very interesting, and
to some extent, very starting interview
with packer who is said to voice
the general opinion of the market" is
quoted in the weeks market review by
the Tobacco Leaf. The Reporter would
like to quote it in toto but must be
content to summarize it's leading points.
This prominent" packer states that
''cigar leaf prices, and particularly
binder prices, will remain high because
cigar manufacturers keep them so. +"
This statement is qualified by rather
new and unexpected declaration: "He
(the manufacturer is tra-finicky
about the kind of cigar leaf he will buy
:. because his labor compels him to
be- The cigarmaker is in the instance
the one who sets the pace for the de-
mand of ultra-high standard tobacco;
he will not handle any other. The ci-
garmaker is forcing the manufacturer
to have 'all so-called low grade care
fully eliminated in the sorting !. His
cigarmakers will not handle anything
but the very first grade of sound leaf. /.
The direct result of this forced system
of leaf purchase is the relegation of a
lot of good usable leaf to the low grade

EDGERToN, WIS. March 26, 1920.
The delivery of tobacco in consider
able quantity began during the latter
part of last week. On Saturday the
asserting centers throughout the state
presented an appearance of activity
reminding one of the regular deliveries
coming during December sin normal
years. The rigs loaded high with bun
dies lined the streets in front of the
warehouses; the packers were kept
busy in their offices figuring up the
crops, and the banks transferred lot
of money from the buyers to the
growers accounts. The warehouses
are now running full blast with steady.

to come The farmers are, naturally,
losing no time in moving the bundle

may be upon them in week or ten
days if the weather now prevailing

able both for the sake of the handling
of the tobacco and for the settling OF
the roads throughout the country dis
tricts. In the northern section the
damp two weeks ago was satisfactory
for the ridges, but in the valleys it was
rather uneven, and considerable tobac-
co is said to be still hanging. The con-
dition of the tobacco coming in through
out the southern section is, as gen.
eral thing, good, and the delivery and
settlement have, in most instances,
been effected to the mutual satisfac-
tion of the parties to the contracts.
The showing Of the 1919 crop as to
quality will, as the process of sweating
is progressing, be watched with the
keenest interest, because it is well
known that the amount of extra fine
binder that the crop can produce will
determine for the packer whether he
is coming through well or otherwise
with the 1919. Some crops have been
purchased within the week, but gen.
eral movement to clean up has not yet
started.

HARTFORD, IT., March lU, l9ZU.
A second blizzard has delayed the
movement of tobacco in the Connecti-
cut Valley. Deliveries have been al
most at standstill. The Shade and
primed Havana Seed is practically
through the process of sweat, and the
Broadleaf will be sent through the mill
at the earliest possible moment, just SO
that deliveries can be made in season
to enable the packers to keep their
forces at the tables. A series of to-
bacco growers Institutes are planned
in Hartford county during the last
week in March. Motion pictures of
the tobacco industry will be shown at
these meetings, which are supported
by the Farm Bureau and the New Eng
land Tobacco Growers association.
Fertility problems will be discussed,
and soil improvement generally pre-
sented by experienced students of to-
bacco culture in the valley. Another
topic. (which will receive attention at
these meetings is the need of state aid
in establishing tobacco experimental
sub-station in the tobacco section.

not of much value because so vague.
The condition of the roads has been
such that deliveries could not be made.
The question of the probable acreage
