NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 1920.

The Leaf in commenting on the mar
ket says: Water Street packers of do
mestic cigar leaf tobaccos assert that
they anticipate little change in the
present steady, though modified, pace
of the market with the arrival of the
1919 psckings during September and
October, for the reason that the avail
able stocks of these goods will be so
extremely limited. In fact, there seems
to be no division of opinion among
packers In regard to the statement that
the bulk of the 1919 crops. inclusive of
all types, is either already in the man.
ufacturers' hands or spoken for. While
it is expected that very limited guam
tity of binders will be available from
the 1919 Wisconsin, generally speaking,
the binder situation is more acute than
ever before, with no promise of relief
from the new crop, which both in Con-
necticut and Wisconsin is decidedly be-
low the normal yield.
The u. S. Tobacco Journal observes:
The prices paid for the new Connecti-
cut and Wisconsin have made it certain
that binder prices cannot come down
within another year, and this fact has
encouraged the manufacturers to buy
literally of the new offerings. Packers
who have 1919 and older binders are
finding no difficulty in disposing of
their wares.

Wisconsin Tobacco Market
EDGERToN. Wis. Oct. /, 1920.

EOGEhION, WIS.,. OCC. i, 1JZU.
There is very little to say about the
Wisconsin tobacco market. In the
northern field the lifting of season. s
binder acreage is nearly finished. The
big leaders among the manufacturers
packers dropped into that area offering
35 cents right off the bat. The growers
nodded in bewildered sort of way as
the army of hired buyers offered $685.
40-45 cents. The farmers cashed in
and the scramble went on. 1t was the
buyers, not the growers, who set the
pace and established the price When
the campaign opened in the southern
field the sweep for the first 10000
acres, more or less, was made on the
buyers offers of 30-35 and 10c. Then
activity ceased. It. is not correct, how
ever, to say that there is deadlock in
the southern Wisconsin market-there
is nothing doing, that is all. There
was no Misunderstanding between the
growers and buyers causing the sudden
calm which settled upon the tobacco
section not invaded by the buyers first
squirt. ANY talk of deadlock is pure
bunk. During the last three weeks
there has been no effort to start up the
trade again; that is the situation. In
this period number of things have
happened to affect the price level of
commodities in general. Henry Ford
knocked away some Of the underpin-
nings of the high cost, bringing with it
a general settling along all lines The
decline recorded in the general market
may have tendency to affect also to-
bacco prices, but so far even Water
Street has not declared itself on the
price question, and the growers of
southern Wisconsin have not issued any
organized ultimatum as to what figures
they are willing to accept. Any talk
at this time tending to give the i'm
preston that the present inactivity in
the southern Wisconsin tobacco market
is due to a locking of horns of growers
and dealers is unwarranted by the
facts, and should be so discounted.
Besides, such rumors tend to create
unnecessary prejudice, distrust and
suspicion where there should be open
minds, calm judgment and good sense.
The major portion of the crop is har-
vested. A storm last Sunday evening
carrying some hail visited the southern
part of the state and did some damage
to standing tobacco between Albion and
Stoughton. The rain was welcome, as
it was needed for other crops, and will
improve curing conditions of shielded
tobacco.

i<AlNCACIEh, Az OSpt. 1O, 1OAO.
There has been no important pur-
chases of Lancaster county's new to-
baccu, although nearly half of the crop
is harvested, says the Tobacco Leaf,
and the Tobacco Journal says: At this
particular stage of the proceedings it
must be admitted that the packing
houses of this section are playing a
waiting game. The growers figure of
80 cent tobacco does not appeal to the
buyers. Where contracts are written
the price is left open sat the market
price at the time of delivery"
A survey of the county's crop leads
to the conclusion that it is good one
on the field, but how it will turn out in
the shed is a matter of conjecture.
Packers refer to it as wet weather
crop, but the growers, who have been
in daily touch with it, aver that there
is everything about the tobacco to in
dicate that it will cure all right. The
crop will certainly be housed with very
much watered stems, but beyond that
nobody can go in predicting the cure.
1t will be big crop if the frost holds
off, and, contrary to early predictions,
it will be a crop of big leaves. 1t is a
big acreage and the weight per acre
will be much ahead of last years light
weight crop, which fell below the aver
age weight fully 800 pounds. Growers
say the crop will show an unusually
large proportion of wrapper goods,

REMARKABLE LAYING REC.
 ORD OF BRINkLEY HEMS.

On New Years Day Mrs. w. J. Brown, the clever wife of the Layne Bowler man, phOned the Argus office that her twelve bullets had laid eleven eggs on that day. She was so delighted that she couldn't help telling the Ar gus. fu.
 Later advice is that the eggs are still coming at the rate of eleven per day. The bullets were matched in the spring and are all of the Barred Plymouth Rock variety.
 This is new record for Brinkley, for layers. Mrs. Brown says that she always gets eggs. All old hens are kill ed off and the bullets kept for the laying stock and the re- suit from this flock should sup ply means of help to others who raise chickens.
