NEW YORK, Jan. Is, 1920.

Sdmatra furnished the chief item of
interest in the Water Street market
this week, the activity beginning with
the sale by the importers of several
hundreds of bales on Monday and Tues
day, and continuing at fairy active
pace throughout the week. The de-
mand for Java is also reported as very
pronounced.
The export outlook for domestic ci-
gar leaf tobaccos seems to be steadily
going from bad to worse with no hint
of an early prospect for Improvement.
The chaotic condition OF the foreign
money market is of course the real
reason for this state of affairs, and
practically all efforts of American leaf
merchants toward the development of
an export business have been suspend
ed for an indefinite period.
Packers of domestic cigar leaf tobac-
cos report sustained demand for all
types of desirable stocks, with the ac-
cent as usual upon binders. In view OF
the fact, hGwever, that about the only
available binder stocks III the market
are the scattered and extremely limited
stocks in the hands of jobbers, the In
sistence of this binder demand holds an
academic rather than a practical inter-
est for the packers. The rather pro-
nounced interest which is already be-
ing shown by manufacturers in Penn
sylvania and Ohio filler tobaccos is, on
the other hand, of extremely practical
interest to packers, and is taken as
certain indication that the. develop
ment of very active movement in
filler stocks is already under way

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES


In a survey made by the federal de-
,partment of agriculture for the purpose
of finuing out which agencies are the
most helpful in agricultural progress,
more especially in the Northwest, SO
per cent of the farmers interviewed
mentioned the county agent, the agrl-
cultural press and the farm bureau.
This indicates that the farmers of the
northern states are working their farms
with their brains, and not with their
hands. They are keeping in touch with
results Of experimental agriculture as
it is carried out by the state and fed
eral agricultural stations and endeavor
to put into practice those things that
will suit their needs. Not all the re-
suits of experimental work recommend
ed by the farm bureau and the schools
of agriculture will prove profitable to
all kinds of farming. Here the wide
awake, practical farmer will prove the
quality of his judgement by adopting
those measures only that will prove
profitable TO him on his farm, and help
the line of work he is following, to OBJ
tain the best returns. The farmers in
Wisconsin who carry on tobacco culture
on somewhat extensive scale have
problems TO solve which differ from
those confronting the dairy farmer, or
the farmer specializing in fat stock,
hogs, or mixed grain and stock farm
ing. But the, fact that the farmers are
finding the experimental agencies, farm
bureaus and the press devoted to crop
or stock most helpful in their vocation,
is fair indication of the progressive
spirit which is taking hold of the men
and women who are engaged in the
noble work of multiplying the yield Of
the soil for the well-being and comfort
of the nation. The Wisconsin tobacco
farmer who puts his mind on finding
out how to increase the general fertil-
ity of his farm, without diminishing
the intensive culture needed by the to-
baeco crop, is the greatest benefactOr
of the Wisconsin TOBACCO industry to-
day, everything else being equal; and
in this matter the agricultural agencies
mentioned above should be of the
greatest assistance to him.

The Tobacco Leaf has review of
the leaf tobacco situation in Miami
Valley, Onio, written by G. H. Salli
day, giving some interesting informa-
tion The export market, says the
writer, absorbed practically all of the
1913 low grades. The BIS went to the
manufacturers. The crop was ideal
cigar tobacco. Prices have advanced
both for thinner and Gebhardt. run
ming above the 20 cent mark Very
little remains unsold The cost of
tabling, sizing and resweating 1918
thinner is six and one-half cents per
pound, and five and one-half cents for
Gebhardt In the 1919 crop all is as
yet quiet. The growers expect big
prices. The farm labor situation is
bad; the young farm hands flock to the
cities to take advantage of the high
wages paid there. If this situation
does not improve, the acreage used for
tobacco must be cut down.

first of its kind for four years A large
number of u. S. tobacco merchants

The combines which have been eff
fected in the tobacco world recently
have caused the independent retail to-
bacconists to take counsel together.
They are afraid of the big trade COM
bines, and they would like to know If
these concerns are not formed contrary
to the provisions of the Sherman anti
trust law. The so-called Independent
Retail Tobacconists' association has
taken steps to ascertain what may be
done to protect themselves against the
menace they think they see in the new
trusts :

New England.

HARTFORD, CT., Jan. Is, 1920.
1t is now foregone conclusion that
there will be no further curtailment in
the Shadegrown acreage in the Con-
necticut Valley next year. Producers,
it is declared, will grow more, no mat
ter what elements of cost enter into
the proposition. They contend that
the prices which prevailed for this COM
modify during 1919 furnish every incen-
tive to grow more. AS the enormous
price of cloth used in producing the
crop is said to have been the chief rea-
son in curtailment of acreage last year,
hopes are entertained that cloth may
drop in price Already the big produc
ers of Shade are talking of increased
acreage.
Providing conditions continue as they
exist now, it is not improbable that one
