Wisconsin Tobacco Market
EDGERToN. Wis.,. Aug. 6, 1920


Some activity has developed during
the past couple weeks in the 1919 still
in first hands. The prices have ranged
from Is to Is cents, according to type.
There is no stampede to get this tobac-
co, but within the range of these fig
ures the balance still unsold will grad
ually find its way to the market. The
asserting season is over. In Edgerton
the SpltZner company, which has put
in 80 weeks of lively work this season,
expects to be through by the end of
this week. On the whole the asserting
and packing of last years crop have
been satisfactory. The wages have
been good, and steady and experienced
assorters have made good money. The
tobacco packed may not be the
best Wisconsin has produced, but it is
a good crop, coming through the sweat
in good shape and worthy of cordial re-
ception by the manufacturers who need
the Wisconsin leaf. The prospects of
the 1920 stand depend on early rainfall.
The first paintings are in bloom, and
some fields have been topped. Remem-
bering the history of last year, which
resembled the conditions prevailing
now, there is not much anxiety felt
among the growers. Fields that looked
like dead propositions the last week in
July last year, before the rain of that
week, followed by showers during the
first week in August, developed heavy
stands by harvest. The. early tobacco
this year needs rain now, and needs it
badly, but when the rain comes, as it
usually does about this time, there will
be cure for all misgivings. The to-
bacco is splendidly rooted, and has good
color. The medium and late stand is
all right yet; the worry about that is
not now, but about the middle of Sep
tember when the first frosts may visit
US, and there will be much tobacco to
harvest as late as that, as the pros
poets indicate at this stage of the game.
Our northern correspondent says Aug.
2: Another week of dry weather has
told on the tobacco stand. Some fields,
in fact large per cent of the early
planting has spindled up. The medium
planting is not so badly off. In Trem-
peleau county there has been no rain
since July a."
A light rain began to fall shortly af-
ter the noon hour Wednesday,; the wind
is. variable with falling barometer,
indicating more rain.

LANCASTER, Pa, July q,

LANCASTER, Pa, July 21, 1920.
The statement of the U S. Tobacco
Journal from the Pennsylvania tobacco
center is of interest:
There have been very few years in
the sixty or more of the tobacco his
tory of Lancaster county that the crop
has grown so rapidly as it has this sea-
son. Although it was considerably
later than usual in planting, it got away
to good start and has had favorable
growing weather every minute of the
time since it was put in the fields from
the seed beds. There is, in consequence
of conditions as they exist, every indi-
cation of an unusual crop on an acre
age that is now estimated fully as large
as last season. Some sections will show
more acres than in previous years,
these making up for the few that were
lost in other sections through the wash
ing of fields by rain storms.

The final drive of the buying move
ment in the Miami cigar leaf district is
now on with a probability that all the
thinner and Gebhardt stocks still in the
hands of the farmers will be taken up
within the next few weeks The for
mer is selling for 20cents for wrappers
and filters and the latter from Is TO Is
cents. The quantity of these varieties
of tobacco still remaining unsold at this
tine is said to be negligible.

cilities. go out after business and for
set this bugaboo Of mercantile ma

president of the International Mer-

Cross
With the present high cost of op-
Grating ships" he said, II see no
chance of a reduction in the near fu-
ture of passenger or freight rates.
Regarding the conversion of ocean
liners from coal to oil burners, I do
not think there will be any great
amount of this. because the supply of
oil is extremely doubtful throughout
the world.
Without any brass trumpets. we
are rapidly extending our services be-

and we expect shortly to establish our
own terminals in Hamburg under the
direction of Americans"
Mr.. Franklin would not discuss the
future of the United States Shipping
Board. saying that it would be fool

tions just now.

out of the speakers hands the ques-
ton of order in relation to questions.
The question he wished to ask was
why the chief secretary for Ireland
had not recited all the incidents
which occurred in Dublin Sunday, in
stead of giving a part of the story.
The minister had not told of the mur-
der of ten or fifteen civilians. Mr..
Devlin pointed out.
Sir Hamar said that although he
had not been asked that question, he
vas willing to reply. and said: The
authorities have reason to believe that
Sim Fefn gunmen came to Dublin
Sunday under the guise Of attending
the match in order to carry out the
murders. Consequently a mixed force
surrounded the grounds. This force
was fired on, and in firing back killed
ten and wounded others"
Sir Hamar also gave details Of the
finding OF revolvers and the crushing
to death of a man and a woman.
which latter he regretted.

the question asked Why do the lots

of the expense Of them Some day these
lots will be connected to the sewer and
then the reason will be very plain. Then

body kicks then the assessment can be
reduced little, but if there are any re.
auctions made, then the amount will
remain about as it is. This is done so
that the city will not have to pay out
of the general fund moneys that should
come from the special sewer fund, This
sum can be divided into seven payments
if you desire it that way, and these
draw only six per cent interest, which
is cheaper than you can borrow money
at the bank to make the payment.

They can see the opportunities for
development and expansion and for
the making of this community thirty
ing hive of industry.

are worried sick over incessant labor
troubles.
They are staggering under a noun

Rents, taxes, power, light, heat, ev-
erywhere their bills of expense are
mounting higher from day to day,

1t is small wonder they demand e.

In this town it would be different.
There would be none of the abnormal
expenditures necessary in the large

rates, because other expenses are less
here.
