Aside from the meager news from
the local markets little of inter-
est in the cigar leaf field is reported.
The export trade continues unsatisfac-
tory. The German market cannot take
anything but the cheapest grades, due
to the constantly depreciating price of
the mark. The English market for
manufactured tobacco is improving
under the repeat of the high import
tax, and considerable American goods
is now taken at London. On the whole,
the European economic situation is af-
fecting the American export market
adversely. The report ON the cigar
production in the United States indi-
Gates that the holiday business is not
going I'd offer any strong impulse to
leaf movement. Voices among manu-
facturers are raised to the effect that a
further reduction in cigar prices may
have TO be made TO meet the declining
buying power of large portion of the
consumers. Others advocate stronger
advertising. While cigars have increas-
ed IL per cent in size of production dur
ing 20 years, cigarettes have increased
1900 per cent, and this in the face of
the fact that there are IL, 900 manufac-
turers Of cigars in the u. S. TO 263
manufacturers Of cigarettes.

1t is now generally conceded in the
Lancaster county field that there will
be little or no buying of the 1921 tobac-
co crop before the Christmas holidays.
The buyers have been in the fields IN
various sections and have contracted
for several small holdings, but these
are not even the smallest drop in the
largest sort of bucket. The crop, it
is contended by the farmers, is perhaps
the best ever developed in this county,
owing to the extreme precautions taken
by the farmers at every stage of the
leaf development. They concede, now
ever, that they will not receive inflated
prices for their goods, in spite of the
immediate need for the Pennsylvania
leaf that the general market is show
ing.
just what the dealers will offer in the
way Of price is problematical. Farmers
contend that they should have at least
20 cents per pound in order to come out
on the credit side of the ledger, but
packers do not believe that such price
will be realized.

LDGEhION, Wis, Lee y, 1SsJl.
Reports from the northern sections
of the state inform US that Smith &
Son of Evansville, representing the
We'll interests. have made a trip to
Vernon county and bought few crops
of tobacco. Some were picked up also
in the Soldiers Grove section Not a
large acreage was taken. The inform
alton received at this office has it that
the price climbed to 25c The farmers
up there, however, did not show much
eagerness in selling, as they are hoping
for competitive buying later on, ex-
pecting the larger operators to come in,
stimulating the demand.
Nobody is advised as to the probable
ity of such move, nor as to the time
when it may start. That a buying
movement is coming some time, is
pretty we'll understood. but that it will
take on any proportions, until after the
crop is stripped and ready in the bundle
is not considered likely by leading rep
resentatives of the larger tobacco in
terests here
That means that larger movement
to take the 1921 leaf is not expected
until after the holidays. At the pres
ent time the roads throughout the to-
bacco territory up north are in such
condition that any buyer is reluctant to
start out, and even in the southern sec
tion they are anything but inviting.
The general mildness of the weather
has been very favorable for the work
of stripping 1t has been possible to
do most of the work in the sheds, saw
ing time and speeding the work. That
the growers who are taking pains to
clean out their crops in the process of
bundling will find that it has paid them
well to put on this extra work, there is
every reason to believe.
The quantity of BIS held in the state
is large, and any further piliEg up of
this type is not stimulating to the Wis
cOnsin leaf movement as whole. DUAL
ity, not quantity, is the general cry.
The northern growers who have been.
given first consideration in what little
buying has been done this year should
set an example of the very best kind of
handling, even though it may cost
little extra to have it done. The grow
ers In the best sections of the southern
fields are making an earnest effort at
correct handling, we are informed,
which is good news to everybody con-
cerGed.

the complaint would be filed. He is
apparently waiting for some sort of
an answer from Miss Farrar's side.
But Miss Farrar is silent AMI Mr..

brief statement, made Friday night,

For this reason board officials antici.

on board American vessels.
or the 100. 900 members of the Inter.
national Seamen's Union. about so per
cent are American citizens. As only
about one-third OF the American yes.
sells available are now in operation,
there are plainly more than enough
real Americans available TO build up
all-American crews for those ships now
sailing. In this the Seamen's Union
in understood TO be in accord, as all
American crews necessarily mean a
higher standard OF conditions aboard
ship.
According to authentic opinion just
given the Shipping Board, Americana
make best seamen when trained. and
accordingly are more reliable as well
az more desirable in other ways than

Seamen of other nationalities belong.
