New Price Level Reached.

Z Prices are not going lower so far as
machinery is concerned Mr.. Holt be-
lieves Coal and steel are holding at
old prices and it is his belief that a
new price level has been reached
Farmers throughout the country are
realizing this fact and are buying ma
Ichinery which they went without last
year in belief that prices would go
lower.
Four thousand men are employed
regularly in the Holt plant at Peoria
with orders enough to insure produc-
ton for many months, Mr.. Holt re-
lated At stockton. Cal, is another
large plant employing 5000 men. The
Spokane plant, which is known as the
Northwestern Harvester Works. and
of which Mr.. Holt is president, has
$50 employees engaged almost eXelu-
lively in the manufacture of the Holt
combine harvester
.Umatilla county farmers have the
best and most up-to-date farming
equipment of any group in the eoun-

EDGERToN, Wis. Jan. 8. 1920.
With the Thermometer shivering be-
tween zero and 20 below since the first
of the year, there has not been any
activities i'll the sheds. In the several
attempts at near-case weather during
the preceding months, the growers
have been picking away at such por-
ti0ns of the hanging tobacco as showed
sufficient case to warrant handling.
Taking the tobacco sections of the
state as whole, considerable tobacco
has been stripped, and enough has been
delivered to tempt the packers to open
number of warehouses for the sort
ing season. In Edgerton eight ware
houses opened last Monday with good
forces at the tables Several carloads
of northern leaf has come in, and the
farmers have hauled small crops and
parts of larger crops from the southern
fields, enough to make fair start for
the asserting season. The stemmlng
concerns run steady forces and will be
in shape to take on the 1919 whenever
it is ready to be delivered. Of late
there has been a rather lively demand
in the northern field for the 1919 rem
nant, and cleanup is looked for by
the time the packers have their assort-
ing gangs going at full speed. In the
80
though sales are made at the different
points right along. The rrlces continue
steady for good leaf; those who are
holding mixed crops naturally stick for
the best figure that the market is will
ing to offer. The chances are that
when this tobacco gets into the bundle
it will be easier for the buyer and the
grower to get together on a fair price.
The prospects of an early January
thaw are eagerly watched for by ey-
erybody, and it may be here before the
week is up. When it comes, the to-
bacco towns will be humming hives of
busy hands. 1t would be well for all
homes in the warehouse centers to
make ready to help house the workers.
If every body makes an effort to make
the people who come in to seek en-
ployment welcome and comfortable,
there is going to be very little trouble in
securing the hands needed to handle
the 1919 crop and finish it up during
the seasonable period.

Pennsylvania.
LANCASTER, Pa, Dec. "a,

LANCASTER, Pa, Dec. "a. 1919.
The past week saw very little buy
ing, for several reasons. One is the
price at which most of the unsold new
crop is being held by the growers, not
over TOPPER cent being held by them,
aowever. Much of this is choice to.
.hacco, largely held by growers who can
afford to hold it on the, chance of get
ting their own price, and that is some
where around 25 cents for wrapper
quality and to 10 cents for filters.
Some are asking even more. If the
big outside concerns have all the crop
that they want, and from all reports
they have, then the chances of a higher
price being paid than prevailed during
the big raid is very slim, unless local
dealers change their minds very rad
ically, and of this there is small prob
ability. The growers will probably not
get over<2 20 or ~ cents for the crops
they are holding, and there are chances
that they may not get that much. If
they do not, they may do their own
packing, but no talk of this is heard as
yet. There is a great difference be-
tween getting IL to Is cents pound,
as last year. and the prices paid this
year.

HARTFORD, CT, Dec. %, 1919.
A survey of the tobacco warehouses
in the Connecticut Valley finds every
one of them open for the season. Their
owners or managers declare they look
forward to a very successful packing
season. The warehouse of E. Rosen-
.wald & Bro, East Hartford, was open
ed the past week under the supervision
of it's resident manager, Benjamin Ran
ney.
There is a bigger demand for assort-
ers this year by the individual growers
than ever before and this is because Of
the fact that the bulk of the Broadleaf
crop was purchased graded. Growers
who have sold are seeking assorters to
get the crop in shape for early delivery
and in many instances buyers have
placed a specified time as to when the
crop would be received

The New England crop report of the
United States Department of Agrlcul-
ture just issued by Field Agent v A.
Sanders, confirms your correspondent
statement in the last issue of The To-
bacco Leaf that estimates of the
amount of Havana Seed actually sold
were too high and that prices for Hav
ana Seed averaged well below DO cents
in the bundle, and rot near the half
dollar mark as some buyers and most
of the growers would have the trade
believe. The report says: More than
rs per cent of the Broadleaf crop in
both states has been sold at prices av-
eraging about 80 cents. although some
best grades sorted have sold as high as
60 cents. Filters have brought about
10 cents and brakes about 20 cents.
Two-thirds of the Massachusetts Hav-
ana crop is reported sold at 10 cents to
Is cents for the hail cut, the rest of
the crop bringing from q cents to 40
cents and averaging about 81 cents.
Primed Havana brought about 45 cents.
Connecticut Havana is. reported as
more than half sold at from 20 cents to
