I New York, Jan. 24-The last of the
A. e. F. to leave France. the 1919
officers and enlisted men who sailed
from Antwerp January 4, came into
port aboard the transport Northern
Pacific.
The rain and fog chilled the re-
ception that had been planned for
them and. aside from occasional
shouts to the welcoming boats of the
city and the Rocky Mountain Club on
I ie way in from quarantine, there was
no intimation that the'. final con-
tingent OF Americas soldiers in
France was "home."
Brig. Gen. William d. Connor,
Chief of Staff of the Department of
Supply, announced that when he
stepped aboard the Northern Pacific
at Antwerp January 4th., the organi-
zatfon of the A. E. F. in France ceas-
ed to- exist.
Major General Shanks, commander
of the New York port of embarka-

SLUMP IN TOBACCO
MARKET NOT EXPLAINED

Although only about $1,000 900
pounds of tobacco have been sold so
far this year over the looseleaf floors
in Owensboro, tobacco men esti-
mate that from one-half to two
thirds of the crop in the Green Riv-
er district has been sold. In addi-
tion to the sales in Owensboro there
have probably been about 5000, 900
pounds sold throughout the district
over the floors at Livermore and Clio
verport and to buyers who have
bought the tobacco in the barns. The
sales of tobacco in the barns this year
have been heavier than in any re.
cent year. it is said.
Ali tobacco men estimate that ap.
proximately 20,O0O,OOO pounds of to.
bacco have been disposed of this
season. At the same time last sea.
son more than 20,0O0,000 pounds
had been 'sold over the Owensborc
floor alone and The total sales pro.
badly reached 25,OOO,oGG pounds
The greater part of this was sold in
Owensboro. Tobacco men are now
predicting that the crop this year will
not exceed 3O,OOO,OOO pounds.
Slump Not ExpIainedS
In view of this reduction of one
third in the estimated size of the
crop and also the reports from the
Burley district that the tobacco crop
there is short, as it was also in the
Carolinas, many tobacco men pro-
fess their inability to understand
the slump in prices on the local mar
ket, which during the last week
brought the average down to one
of the lowest of the season. Il is
possible that the decline in the ex-
change rate, which many predicted
before the season opened would
cause a low price this year, and
which has during the last week or
has something to do with this, but at
the present time the exchange is not
appreciably lower than at the first
of the season when record break
ing prices were being paid. Most
tobacco men do not believe that the
exchange is having much effect on
the market. In fact, reports from
the loose leaf floors indicate that
buyers for export are purchasing in
larger quantities and for higher
prices than buyers for the Ameri-
can Tobacco company, which has
the domestic trade. American to-
bacco company buyers have not
been very active since Christmas.

LACK OF CARS HITS
MINES AND MILLS
Rail Chief Asked TO End Short
age; Coal 0utpur Has Been
Checked

Kentucky coal mines and the flour
mills of the Ballard & Ballard Com
pany, Louisville, are badly crippled
by shortage of railroad cars and
unless the condition is remedied a;
once the flour mills may be forced
to close soon.
I This was the word sent to the Ken
/ lucky delegation in Congress Sat.
urday by the interests involved, to
be laid before Walker d. Hines, Di-
rector General of Railroads.
In the case of the Ballard & Bal
lard Company the Federal Railway
Commissioners promised Senator A.
o. Stanley who presented the COM
plant in Washington, that they
would investigate. Company Off
GERS assert they can get no cars to
haul grain and flour.
Three members of a committee of
six representing the coal interests,
Senators Glen S. Num-, White, Moss
and George Baker, spent the greater
part of Saturday afternoon going
over the situation with George Evans,
fourth vice president of Louisville G.
Nashville Railroad Company.
Mr. Evans told the committeeman
that of 25,692 coal cars owned by the
l. &c NJ, only 5000 are now in the
state, the remainder having been dis
tributed throughout the country dur
ing the strike of coal miners last No
vember.
L.. & n. 5000 Cars Short
"It is true that we have IL, 900 cars
belonging to other railroads" he told
the Senators, but at that we are still
5000 cars short of our rightful num-
ber."
The cars were taken out of Ken
lucky at the instance of the Federal
Supervisors of Railroads, Mr.. Evans
said.
Only through the Federal author
tiles can any relief for Kentucky be
obtained. Senators here conducting
the coal car investigation said last
night, and they will begin work to
that end Immediately. During their
interview with Mr.. Evans it de-
veloped that the Louisville & Nash
Vile Railroad Company also is short
on motive power, according to Sen
ator Moss.
Mines on I. c. Get Cars.
Inquiry of officials of the Illinois
Central Railroad Company here yes
terday developed the fact tina Ken
lucky coal mines served by that road
are getting 80 per cent of the cars
asked for, while the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad Company is sup
plying As or. so per cent of the cars
demanded by mines served by it.
In Muhlenberg county, for instance.
where one mine is served by the l. G.
and the other by the L. & NJ, the for
mer is receiving so per cent of the
cars asked for and the latter only
As per cent.
Senator Baker, who is an official of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica, said yesterday before leaving for
his home at Central City that
would call on the various labor or
ganizations to send petitions to the
Federal railroad authorities calling
on them to remedy the coal car sit
uation in Kentucky Because of the
shortage of coal cars some miners
are working only two days a week,
there not being cars sufficient to
handle more than two days output
of coal a week.
