LANCASTER, Pa, March 10, 1921.
5 During the past week there was
considerable revival of the buying of
the Lancaster county crop, with the
net. result that fully three-quarters of
the 1920 growing has passed out Of the
farmers hands. Sections of the county
that had not been previously visited
owing to the poor condition of the dirt
roads were gone over and number of
crops were picked up at from Is to Is
cents for the wrapper grades and the
universal figure of cents for filters
with no takers at that. There are a
number of the heaviest growers in the
country who have not sold as yet and
they are holding for 20 cents or better,
failing to get which figures they will
pack their own crops. Bloch Bros.
have entered the local field on an ex-
tensive scale and are buying right and
left the crops that show burn at 8
cents. They only require that the leaf
be stripped and need not be sorted.

=
The tobacco market here is livening
up bit, and while still far short of
normal, there appears to be larger
demand for better quality leaf than has
existed for some time. While no big
sales have been made recently, there is
a quiet demand for light wrappers.
There is no demand whatever for filters
and brokes.
The associations in the Valley are
doing more business than ever before.
New members are being taken in week
ly. This applies to those who have not
sold their tobacco. The associations
are now devising ways and means to
meet the situation. With the large in
fiux of new members they are naturally
handling more tobacco. Before another
two weeks has passed some of the as
sociations will have amended their by
laws prohibiting membership after a
given time. Leaf.

NEW ORk, WI arcn III, 1871.
Water Street sees nothing in the i'm
mediate outlook to Indicate any notable
quickening in the present leisurely pace
of the cigar leaf market for some time
to come Some leaf merchants re-
ported somewhat more lively demand
for certain types during the past week,
but the general trend of the market
shows little if any change. Quite nat
urally, with the unmistakable evidences
which have been furnished recently
that the binder shortage will be even
more acute than the gioomiest predic-
tions had forecasted, manufacturers
have shown a growing interest in such
limited stocks of high grade old leaf as
the packers are in position to offer. In
fact, this interest in binder types is
sufficiently pronounced to indicate that
in spite of tleir generally conservative
attitude toward leaf purchases, the
manufacturers are by no means un-
mindful of the significance of the dis
couraging reports concerning the quail
ity of the 1920 Connecticut crop.

Wisconsin Tobacco Market
Wis. March 25. 1921

The same kind of movement in the
market which was noted last week con-
tinues, but not so active The Loril-
lard Co. storage space in Edgerton is
practically exhausted now by the new
leaf received. The movement has been
largely sellers campaign, and not q
buyers movement. The packers have
gotten all the leaf, and continue to get
it. they need without going after it.
The growers have not assorted and
packed on the home premises to the
extent that had been anticipated, and
this in some measure accounts for the
steady seeping, through sales at low
tiures, of so large portion of the 1920
southern Wisconsin crop. I. B. Earle
and other concerns who handle stem
ming stock are taking this goods at
about &c as the growers step forward
and offer to sell.
The Experiment Station.of the u. w.
College of Agriculture advises that its
supply of tobacco seed is exhausted.
The letter to The Reporter is of suf-
ficient interest to be published in full:
''The demand for the new disease re-
sistant type of tobacco seed developed
and distributed for trial by the Expert
ment Station has been so great this
year that the supply was rapidly ex-
hausted. Over two hundred growers
have now been supplied with seed suf-
ficient. for from two to forty acres, but
with the approach of warm weather,
requests for seed are now coming in at
the rate of over one hundred per week.
Growers are asked, therefore, not to
send in further requests.
The favor with which the disease re-
sistant type has been met by the grow
ers as whole is a good indication of
it's value above that of other common
varieties. particularly on tobacco
sick" soils. Many of the high prices
made last summer were for the resis-
tant type. Buyers have judged cured
samples of the new type at the Expert
ment Station, in comparison with 20
Wisconsin strains comprising all types
grown in Wisconsin), grown under
identical conditions, and have placed
the resistant type first in quality.
termination tests have been made on
almost 100 samples of seed to date, this
season, and it is found that on the
whole tobacco seed-has far better ger
mination than last year and thinner
sowing is advised.
Approximately 500 pounds of seed
valued at 81, 900 have also been cleaned
this season for seed growers with the
special tobacco cleaning machine devel-
yoped by the Experiment Station
The disease resistant tobacco seed
here spoken of produces large, rather
heavy and close grained leaf. The No.
SO is more popular among the manu-
facturers; it is not as heavy and of a
better burn and grain than the first.
That the root rot resistant quality of
the seed makes it desirable on tobacco
sick" soil has been amply demonstrate
ed. If it could be made to partake of
the best qualities of the No. 38 in other
respects its popularity would be greater.

TO MAKE TRADE SIMPLER

From The Nations Business.
 If every letter from Chicago to New York were stopped at each state border for new form of address, a new stamp. or a changed style of nvelope-Nonsense! But not much more nonsense than what now goes on with foreign bills of lading The confusion over bills of fading is drag that Is slowing up every bit of business in the world today; and ev- cry man who has on his shelves silks from France or razors from England is hurt by 1t. Every bill used by the ocean carriers today is so long that 1t would take about an hour to read 1t; 1t is printed in type so fine as to be almost, illegible, and Is so compli- cated as to be quite beyond the com prehension of business men. This condition Is made much worse by the fact that there is not merely one such for moi bill of lading to deal with but a multitude of them. Each steamship company uses its own form and many companies have a number of forms. all different and. to make the confusion worse confounded. these forms are subject to change over night without notice. The re- suit of all of this is that business men do not attempt to read their ship ping documents, in spite of the value which they represent.
 Such system can produce noth- ing but confusion, friction and liti- gation. As result of it. interna- tional transportation has become SC involved in controversies between carriers, shippers and cargo under writers, that they have come to look upon each other as natural enemies There is a remedy for this state O affairs and that Is uniform bill O; lading. The International Chamber of Commerce is leading a movement to bring about this reform.

 Out in the great sala An Fong and Arip Sali sat upon the divan of many colors. one on each side of large, pretentious tripod tray, the highly polished brass of which gleamed un- der the single swinging lamp, sus- pended from the center of the amacan ceiling. The old celestial, in his em- broidered, light blue satin jacket, was bent forward, holding a little rice bowl in his left hand and sending the contents flying into this wide-open mouth with the tiny spoon in his right. while the Malay had encircled a flat plate with his left arm and, with his greasy fingers, was showing handfuls of the white rice between black, filed teeth. Presently the serv- ing men in their short red Jackets and skin-tight trousers brought in the raw turtles eggs and dried sharks fins. Arip mixed these with his chicken, dried fish soup and rice, and swallowed great handfuls of the conglomerate mass. An Fong. hav- ing finished his rice, ate the eggs and fins alone, and then sat back with hands turned upward upon his knees, waiting for the sugared cocoanut, canned lichees and tea. for which the
 
 space on the mats.
 Not word had been spoken during the entire meal But when the tea was placed upon the tray in its long necked, ornamented brass pot, Arip Sali, strengthening up from the labor of eating, looked at An Fong. wiped the precipitation from his face and ventured & remark.
 ''It is not often." he observed, fit is not often that the rich merchant of the pier condescends to partake of the humble fare of the poor chieftain of this wretched village.
 "It is not laways that the feet can step where the heart desires..." quoted An Fong from the Book of Right Sayings and Satisfactory Truths" bending until his chin touched his breast.
 "Ahat' cried Arip. swallowing the tea from his glass at gulp. Then there shall be the pipe of happiness for the friendship that must never break in two.'
