No Revolutionary
 Change to Affect
 Packing Industry

Battle Creek. Mich., Jan. B. There will be nothing revolu- tionary in the reorganization of the packing industries upon the cereal business of this vicinity, ac- cording to the statement of Ralph H. Holmes, manager of the Ar mour Grain Company's large To- cal plant. Sales through Armour and Company will be eliminated but will continue through medium of the Armour Grain Company Which, MT. Holmes declared, is a distinct corporation.

NEW L Ohh, ApTli II, 1JAV.
The Water Street market is pretty
well agreed that the domestic leaf
prices of all types and grades will hold
firm high level, but it is not agreed
as to what degree the increase is going
to manifest itself The price to the
growers Of the 1919 was higher, the
cost of handling higher, and at no point
in the travel of the leaf from the seed
bed to the cigarmaker's bench was
there a point where the cost was not
higher than a year ago. Of the status
of the binder market the Tobacco Leaf
says:
The status of the binder market is
pretty clearly defined in the eagerness
with which force-sweated stocks are
being bought up by manufacturers, at
an extremely high range of prices, as
rapidly as new supplies are available.
The binder supply, packers state,
threatens to become even more strin-
gent than last year, and the fact that
manufacturers are, generally speaking,
rather poorly fortified in the matter of
binder material is indicated in the pres
ent lively demand for these high priced
advance supplies.
Especially since skyrocketing in the
Porto Rico market the domestic filler
market has shown strong activity. The
Ohio market has been thoroughly
combed for old thinner and Gebhardt
at good prices, and the buyers are TAX
ing more than passing interest in the
new crop.

Wisconsin Tobacco Market
EDGERToN. Wis. April 80, 1920

EDGERToN. Wis. April 80, 1920.
Here and there it is reported that a
1913 crop of tobacco is sold. The of
fetal report is that, aside from the
1000 cases, more or less, of the 1918
left in the independent farmers ware
houses, the Wisconsin field is bare of
tobacco of that vintage. As general
proposition this undoubtedly is true,
but whenever a buyer really wants
some of this tobacco, he seems to know
where to find it. Lars Angvick, for
merly of Mcfarland, disposed of So
cases not so many days ago, and John
Olstad of Deerfield sold 81 cases last
week. The price paid in both these In
stances is not divulged, but we under
stand the sales totaled handsome
checks. Good binders, including good
BIS of 1918. are wanted pretty badly,
just as binders in general are sought
by the trade. But though the demand
is good, it does not mean that the mar
ket will swallow anything at any price.
Some of those who are disposing OF
their 1918 tobacco now could have made
just as much money by selling it in the
fall of that year, AS the 1919 bulked
and cased tobacco comes along in the
process of handling, it bears out earlier
estimates of it as to quality. The de-
liveries-to the warehouses or weighed
up and stored on the farms are con-
tinuing without a hitch. The larger
portion of the crop has by this time
passed into the hands of the packers.
The unsold end of 1919 in the hands of
the growers is gradually getting short
er, but it may not be cleaned up IN an
other month or more. The weather
has been raw and cold, and the seeding
of tobacco beds for the next planting
is coming along rather slowly, as IS all
spring work. The growers are going
to be exceedingly crowded when the
weather does change for the better.
Shipments in during the week, AZ
cars of bundles; out, cars. No ship
ment of boxes.

4 The asserting season is practically
over. Some of the smaller packing
houses have closed, others will close in
the near future. The season has been
an unusually successful one from every
point Of view. The Connecticut pro-
duct has been eagerly sought at high
prices, and the asserting season, cover
ing period from September and Oc-
tober to the present time, has furnish
ed employment to large body of as
sorters at highly remunerative pay.
Some 8, 900 persons have been employed
and the payroll per week for labor has
been around $50, 900, and the total value
of the leaf handled about So, 900, 900.
There has been no buying of tobacco
recently, as very little of it is left on
first hands. The growers are now busy
with the seed beds. The fertilizer
problem is gradually being solved.
Many growers of the shade type have
made arrangements to import stable
manure from New York. 1t is claimed
that considerable Havana Seed will this
year be substituted for Broadleaf.
Sampling has been started by the Ros-
enwald agents.

It is stated that new tobacco grow
ing area is to be added in Connecticut
during the coming season. Windham
county farmers have decided to start
the culture. They are making arrange
ments to secure large amounts of seed
plants from the Connecticut valley.
The farmers are busy studying the gov
ernment bulletins on tobacco raising.

The tobacco season in Pennsylvania
has not started under auspicious wealth
er conditions hail, rain and frost have
delayed the planting of seed beds and
cast gloom upon the prospects of an
early start for the new season. The
increase in acreage is doubtful, though

The growers are satisfied that the de-
mand is going to be good for the 1920.
They know that very little old tobacco
