NEW YORK. july 8. 49,


The movement of leaf stocks has
been slow, but steady, with prices hold
ing firmly at the established high level
for all grades, says the Tobacco Leaf.
While shipping conditions are far from
being ideal, or even normal, there is
much improvement. Of the domestic
market generally it says: Water Street
is looking forward with interest to the
arrival of the new Broadleaf in the
market this month, samples of which
will be ready for inspection about July
Is. The domestic filler situation prom
ises to become acute long before the
new crop can possibly come into the
market. Never in the history of the
industry, packers state, have leaf
stocks of all types been worked at so
early period, and this is taken as an
infallible sign that manufacturers have
been unable to secure sufficient guam
titles of old leaf to meet their current
needs, and are already forced to the
necessity of drawing upon the new, as
rapidly as force-sweated stocks have
become available This fact, together
with the consideration that so large a
percentage of the crop has been con-
tracted for, undoubtedly presages an
extremely limited quantity of practic-
ally every type Of cigar leaf available
for the open market this fall The Ha-
vana and Porto Rico market is report
ed as practically in the same condition
as during the preceding week. The
same is true of the imported Sumatra.

Wisconsin Tobacco Market
EDGERToN, Wis. July %, 49,


The local market is quiet This is
the quiet season, anyway. The assort-
ing season is coming to the 'wind-up,
and, except for the concerns doing
stemming. there is only the humdrum
care of the offices and season-end of
squaring things around to look after.
The packers are doing considerable
driving through the country, keeping
tab on the fields. They follow the de-
velopment of the stand as it passes
through the period of growing, and by
the time the tobacco is harvested they
know pretty we'll how the tobacco runs
in the different sections where they de-
sire to buy. The growers are proud
of the growing fields. They are clean,
and the stand is even; but the expert
enced grower is between the rows with
his horses keeping the ground worked
up all the time. They have learned
through years of experience that field
clean of weeds is not enough to grow
/
ing up of the soil is the secret of the
best results. From the southermost
point of the state tobacco area to the
northern limit of it, the reports agree
that the fields are in unusually fine con-
dition. The growth has been rapid in
spite of the fact that the nights have
been quite chilly for this time of the
year. The sunny days have tended to
strengthen the root development of
the plants. Everybody is keeping quiet
about the range of prices to be offered,
or taken for the 1920. The buying his
tory of last year suited all concerned
pretty we'll, and just now both growers
and packers are satisfied co not worry
about the crossing of the bridge until
they come to it.
Our correspondent in the northern
counties says: We have had week of
cool, dry weather in this section, with
a sprinkle of rain last Sunday. Every
thing looks fine.

HARTFORD, CT, July 8, 1920.
Il have not seen such poor crop of
tobacco at this time of year since 1918
when / began work in Connecticut as
an agricultural agent, and unless we
have continuous hot, dry weather from
now on, the tobacco crop will be very
poor indeed said Benjamin G. South
wick, the Hartford county farm bureau
agent 81 saw tobacco crop recently
where the plants were beginning to
top out and were only foot to fifteen
inches high. That means an almost
total failure because such plant will
raise no large leaves and very few
small ones. The month of June has
been very unfavorable for tobacco
plants and it is in that month that the
newly transplanted plants are sup
posed to make fast progress in height.
Twice as much rain fell in June as in
other years and there were only seven
clear days-a very bad June record for
tobacco. / do not want to be pessi-
mistic, but there is no getting away
from the facts and we might as well
know them now and wake up to them. :"

LANCASTER, Pa, July 8, 1920.
The u. S. Tobacco Journal comments
in the following manner on the situa-
tion in Lancaster county: The Lam
caster county tobacco crop for 1920 is
started and under the most favorable
conditions The portion of the crop
that was planted early is coming along
in good shape and that which went into
the fields at later date is doing equal
ly as well. Just at the time that the
growers needed good soaking rain to
loosen up the soil it came along and the
planting condition was ideal. With in
tensive cultivation it is estimated that
the crop will aggregate as much as last
season. The tobacco farmers, having
before them crop that they estimate
will net them $12, 900, 900, appreciate
that they must give the crop close at
tention and they will stand by the crop
closer this s, ason than ever before.
Speculation among them is active as
to the prices to be obtained this season
and they are guessing at figures that
range from 80 to 35 cents pound and
they believe that the crop will not fall
far short of the four million pound
mark.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1920-07-23

Owing to the hardness of the buying
movement of the 1919 in Miami valley,
Ohio, this year finds the valley farmers
33 per cent short of the normal acre
age. The 1919 is going now, but now
it is too late for the 1920 to get under
way. This is especially disappointing
to the growers as this has been one of
the best growing seasons, and those
who took the risk of putting in the
usual acreage are on the right side of
bright prospects. If the 1919 had been
taken before the planting season, Ohio
might have been in line with Wisconsin
and Pennsylvania in producing large
crop this year.
