HARTFORD, CT, Nov. Il

IlAfIFOhD, OI., AVOV- TT I0Al.
It became known in tobacco trade
circles early this week that the first
offer for the 1921 Broadleaf was made
last week when representative of the
fredericksburg house, Buffalo, offered
Csc in the bundle for few crops in the
South Windsor district, which was
stoutly refused by the growers. This
is taken to mean that dealers intend to
pay from 8 to 35 cents for this variety,
graded, which is some contrast to the
prices paid year ago. 1t is the first
offer made for Connecticut 3roadleaf
and it may terminate in the breaking
of the lull in the market, yet no sales
have been reported.

A tobacco monopoly was promulgated
in Chosen, Korea, April /, 1921, by
which the manufacture of tobacco be-
longs exclusively to the government.
No tobacco may be imported except
under government permission, nor may
it be grown except by permission OF
the government, which will also con-
troll the kinds to be grown, designate
the districts to be devoted to its cul-
ture, and directing the most minute de-
tails of its cultivation and sale. -Tob.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

As soon as the tobacco begins to
move, all sorts of rumors as TO prices
paid begin to circulate. These rumors
may be, based on fact, and again they
may be pure fabrications. The Re-
porter may not succeed in getting all
the facts of interest to growers and
packers every week, but it endeavors
to give the facts as they are without
any bias one way or the other. 1t is
the object of the paper to serve as a
medium of reliable information. Any
one having information of that nature
of interest to the market will serve all
interests we'll by giving it to The Re-
porter.

Az TIE QUEEN.

Never before has Douglas Fairbanks
waxed so enthusiastic over the sue
cess and admiration OF a picture as
he has over The Mark Of Zorro" his
latest picture which brings him to the
Queen Theatre today TO begin a week 5
run.
The story is adapted from the novel
called "he Curse OF Papistrano." ."
Those critics who have viewed the pic
ture have proclaimed that Fairbanks
has oXcelled any OF his previous per-
fOrmances. This Is due TO some eX-
tent to the ingenious story and the
opportunities afforded Doug" TO
make the greatest use Of his athletic
ability.
The background OF the story Is CEN
tered around early Southern CalifOr-
MIA OF nearly century ago when its
destinies were zealously guarded by
the Spanish settlers.
II Is a dual role that Fairbanks is
called upon TO essay. As Don Diego
Vega, the young man, he leads a Sc.
cluded life As Senior Zorro, he will
be seen executing various exploits
practically unaided. All sorts Of thrills
are offered. There is also a girl in the
story who offers the love thrill.
Marguerite DeLaMotte Is the girl,
Noah Beery and Robert McKim are the
villains.
