The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1920-03-05
New York
NEW YORK, Feb. Is. 1920

There has been little or no improve
ment, during the past week. either in
the matter of shipping or sales of do
mestic leaf tobacco. The embargo on
shipments in the East has prevented
the forwarding of leaf supplies from
the various growing centers and all
movement of leaf supplies of any de-
scription may be said to be at an abso-
lutte standstill. 1t goes without saying
that many manufacturers stand in dire
need of certain types of tobacco, and
are forced to resort to all sorts of un-
satisfactory makeshifts to meet the de-
mand upon their leaf supplies, says the
Tobacco Leaf.
As TO the outlook, the same publica-
tion quotes prominent leaf merchant
whose comment is said to express the
sentiment of Water Street: There
will be no material surplus in 1920 of
any class of tobacco, which can be
worked within the next elk months.
This applies not only to wrappers and
binders, but to filler tobaccos with
equal force No one familiar with leaf
market conditions will deny the state
ment that an absolute shortage now
exists in every type of cigar leaf to-
bacco, with. the possible exception of
Ohio filler types. The only relief IS
seen in the possibility that 1920 will
produce crop of such size and quality
as TO meet the demand =

LANCASTER, PA, Feb.

LANCASTER, Pa, Feb. Is, 1920
Only half of the 1919 tobacco is strip
ned. 'It was reported last week that
a few sales had been made at Is cents
for wrappers and cents for filters.
These were exceptional cases, however.
Tt may safely be predicted that none of
the 1919 crop has been, or will be,
packed by growers themselves. The
packers expect tohave lot of the new
crop ready for marketing by next Aug
ust. perhaps some in July, so fast does
1T cure. It is one of the best burners
that has been grown in years and is
mild and of good aroma. But it is a
very short weight crop. too, as is ap-
parent, now that enough has been de-
Iivered to allow of proper judgment
being made. A normal Lancaster
county crop means about $500 pounds
to the acre, and the new crop barely
goes to the /, 100 mark, due to natural
causes during the growing season. 1t
is very evident that Lancaster growers
will set out as large an acreage as pos
sible. and this in the face of an even
tighter labor market than in 1919, and
ia spite of the decided increase in
wages" says Mr.. Slade in the Leaf.

tDGERToN. WIS.,, March 5, 1872

rsDGERToN. Wis. March 5, 1920.
Sales of 1919 crops of tobacco have
been few, if any, during the last couple
weeks The tobacco in the sheds is
hanging bone dry. Tuesday of this
week woke up with good fog hanging
over the face of it, but the chill turned
the mist into hoar frost, making the
morning beautiful to look at but disap-
pointing in its promise to effect tobac-
co. Still this was the nearest to real
tobacco fog'' that has visited the to-
bacco section since the first of the year.
In the northern section the warehouses
have been closing down for lack of to-
bacco to handle. ''The local sorting
houses are raking up every part-crop
they know of and cleaning up all the
fag ends in an endeavor to hold things
together as long as possible. -. Prob
ably ten days will see the wind-up,
says the Censor tViroqua) for Feb. rs.
The Eisenlohr Bros. in Edgerton which
has been running large crew, sus-
pended it's operations last Saturday un-
til an ample supply of tobacco can be
delivered by the farmers. Other ware
houses are hanging on with compara-
lively small forces. This week, being
the first week in March, has developed
anxious hours for many who had made
arrangements to meet payments due,
on the strength of the tobacco money
which they felt certain would be theirs
before this. In most cases the parties
concerned have been able to get to-
gether on the basis of mutual reason
ableness. The hope of all is that when
the moist spell comes, is will be of
nature to bring the tobacco down in
such shape as to give both seller and
buyer pleasure in handling it. The to-
bacco in bulk is taking the sweat in
good shape under careful handling.

HARTFORD, CT, Feb. 18, 19l

The week has developed large deliv-
cries of Broadleaf. The estimate is
that 80 per cent of the Broadleaf and
20 per cent of the Havana Seed has
been sold. The demand on the part of
manufacturers for Connecticut tobac-
COS is constantly increasing. When the
quality of the leaf satisfies the manu-
facturer, he does not balk at the fancy
prices demanded The labor situation
is not improving. Not only is labor
scarce, but the wages asked are almost
prchibitive. The growers who sort
their own tobacco are no better off in
this respect than the warehouse pro-
prietors. The tobacco exhibit and con-
test was attended by nearly 100, 900
people. The Cullman Brothers damage
suit against John Titus, grower, for
failure to deliver his tobacco in con-
dition 20 agree with the contract and
the samples shown, is creating no small
stir in tobacco circles. The suit is
brought for $15, 900.

FIvES
TO BATTLE ON
TWO EVENINGS
Davenport Consents to Meet Rock
Island Post Saturday Night
and Following Wednesday.

Agreement was made between the
Rock Island and Davenport posts
Of the American legiou late yester-
day upon the dates for the two
games which the Islanders have
been seeking all winter with the
Iowa team. The locals will play in
Davenport Saturday night while a
return game will be played in
Rock Island between the same quin-
tets on next Wednesday evening, a
week from tonight.
Not having played for about a
month the Island legionnaires are
in poor shape for a game. They
will practice tonight, however, and
steadily from now until the end Of
the week, and hope to be in some
kind Of form for the game. The
lineup is indefinite, illness being
prevalent in their ranks and since
Oak Smith left Manager Anderson
has always been hard up against it
for a center man who doesn't have
to be taken from a position he
could serve better.
Davenport is reported in the best
Of condition, as the men have been
both practicing together and play
ing as members of other aggrega-
tons. The games Saturday and
Wednesday will provoke consider
able interest here, as the fans in
general are aware Of the fact that
most of the teams hereabouts have
a great respect for the Rock Island
legion. and dodge games whenever
they can.

HENDERSON TO

Was Scheduled to Battle Leo
Schneider But the Latter is
Down With Flu.

Marty Henderson of La Sale will
battle Buck Timothy of Davenport
in the semi-windup of Babe Mean
or's next boxing show at the En-
pire, scheduled for March IL, in
place of Leo Schneider of st. Louis.
Schneider is a victim of the flu at
present and could not possibly get
in shape to fight six rounds.
Henderson is hard, tough boy
who has been battling the good
ones for long time. His manager
claims that he did not get beating
from Mike Dundee at Springfield
recently as was given out.
Tony Caponi is in fit shape right
now to step 10 rounds with Young
Kick, who will be his opponent in
the windup. He came through his
match with Freddie Enck in Aurora
last night in Al condition, it being
plainly evident that no more trOu-
BILE with his hand need be ex-
pected.
