LANCASTER, Pa, May 18, 1921.
Late reports indicate that even the
poor tobacco crops of this county are
now being picked up pretty fast, the
past week seeing considerable buying.
Not much now remains unsold, but
'among it are some crops of as good to-
bacco as any grown in the county.
There are packers who would willingly
pay 20 cents for it, but the owners
want more, so it remains unsold. They
say they will pack it themselves unless
they get their price. They may do So,
but will probably sell the packing in
the end at figure that will be no bet
ter than the price they could sell at
now. The numerous neighborhood CO.
operative packing associations failed to
materialize this year, and we have it
on the authority of John c. Reist, re-
porting to the Lancaster County To-
bacco Growers association at its meet
ing last week, that the Mt. Joy Coop
erative association was packing less to-
bacco than in previous years.

DAYTON, o., May Ia, 1921.

The market here continues to i'm
prove. Old tobacco is being picked up
every day, while considerable of the
1920 crop has changed hands during the
past few weeks. Two large deals on
1920 Dutch were closed this week, while
another packer reports having closed
out lot of 500 cases 1920 Gebhardt.
Prices have been considered good, but
in this connection there has never been
much dissatisfaction. During all the
lull of the past few months it has not
been a question of price, for buyers
have realized that cheap tobacco is not
to be expected until the cost of boxes,
expense of handling, increased over
head, ETC., come down to something
nearer normal. Even the 1920 crop,
which was bought at prices about 25
per cent lower than prevailed for the
1919 tobacco, will cost about as much
when finished.
The demand for low grades has been
very hight, but / have lately had sew
eral inquiries for export which hold out
q ray of hope.

Transplanting of the 1921 Shade
grown crop in the Connecticut Valley is
now in full swing and the season is
somewhat ahead of last year. General
transplanting Of Sungrown will not be
started for a few days yet. There was
a heavy frost in Connecticut Valley last
week. Fortunately no tobacco of any
great amount has been set out and the
seed beds were we'll protected. AS far
as your correspondent can learn there
was bnt one grower who met loss.
He was Lowell FL. Brewer of Hocka-
mum, one of the largest individual
growers of Sungrown tobacco in the
Valley. He raises 100 acres and had
one acre and a half transplanted. 1t
was killed by the frost and will be set
over.

Wisconsin growers from the Illinois
line to Rio and Lodi have yet between
them from to 10 million pounds of to-
bacco to sell-depending upon the width
of the strip indicated. The merchants
are unanimous in the hope that this to-
bacco may find purchasers, but individ-
ually they see no immediate prospects
of the lifting of it. That the stemmers
will eventually get the greater portion
of it is the consensus of opinion. AS q
B crop the Ohio buyers took whack
at it some weeks ago. They have not
returned for more. Representatives of
firms interested in BIS are buying eau
tiously. The reason is two-fold-the
supply is large, and the crop is dry
weather product in several of the areas
still unsold. Improvement in the finan-
cial situation generally, "a loosening up
of the credits for speculative purposes
may put the market on new tack 1t
will not improve the quality and size of
the leaf, but it will improve the outlook
that the man has who sees chance of
handling the goods under less re-
stricted money market. The recent
conference of President Harding with
the banking interests both in the East
and the Midwest are not unlikely to
produce results which will make it pos
sible for legitimate speculation to OBJ
tain credits on basis of lower inter-
est rate, and thus make it safer to in
vest in such enterprises as hold out
hope of reviving' demand. The stock
of Wisconsin 1920 tobacco still in the
growers hands is barred in moving not
so much by the to Is cent range of
prices as by the reluctance of the mar
ket to take dare.
The driving weather of last and the
present week is pushing the plant beds
fast, almost too fast. There are plants
of a size to go into the field this week,
and if this weather continues the fields
will be set earlier than was anticipated
two weeks ago. AS to the size of the
1921 acreage, the 10th of June is bet
ter date for making prophecy than.

The Leaf reports as follows from the

Sales in all branches of the market
have dwindled during the past two
weeks to point of practically complete
stagnation. Leaf merchants are never
theless convinced that the present un-
precedented dullness must soon give
place to a steadily maintained and grad
ually strengthened demand which may
restore the market to something like
''normalcy" by fall.
