NEW YORK. March 28, 1922

The Leaf says: The cigar leaf mar
ket has continued to maintain fair
amount of activity during the past
week. particularly in Sumatra, Java
and Porto Rico types, with somewhat
less pronounced interest in domestic
filler and binder tobaccos. Generally
speaking there is undoubtedly much
better tone to the whole situation than
has been noted for some time past
While individual sales have not shown
any decided increase in size, there is no
question of the fact that they have
registered notable increase in num-
Der. In fact, for the first time in many
months it is safe to say that practic-
ally every manufacturer is buying.
They are buying conservatively it is
true, but the important consideration is
that they are buying. In some in
stances there is some degree of uncer-
tainty as to price, that is, an average
price, but in the main there is pretty
general agreement as to the average,
and most of the trading IS confined
quite closely to established levels.

EDGERToN. Wis. April IA, 1922
With roads that are softened to the
limit by heavy rains, every day adding
new amounts of moistuer, riding for
tobacco is out of the question. Even
the so-called graveled roads are becom-
ing difficult to travel, and the moment
a dirt road is struck the days journey
is ended, if you travel by automobile,
and no tobacco buyer now is eager
enough for the goods to ride behind a
pair of horses to get it.
In the northern sections where some
leaf still abides in the hands of the
growers the going is, if anything,
worse than it is in southern Wisconsin.
AS soon as it clears, the sun and wind
get chance, it will not be many days
before the roads will again be passable
and then the buyers will be about their
business as usual
Some leaf has been received also dur
ing the past week, but most of it lots
which had been bought some time ago.
The warehouses have an ample supply
on hand to keep the crews busy for a
couple weeks ahead, or more.
Monday afternoon all the warehouses,
as well as all other places of business,
were closed a couple hours out of re-
spect for the late T. B. Earle who was
buried at that time. A great many to-
bacco merchants from Stoughton, Mad
ison, Janesville, Brodhead, Cottage
Grove, Cambridge and other places
came to attend the funeral.
The growers are already at work
steaming the plant beds, making them
ready to take the seed The season is
backward, but the abundance of moist
ure now settling into the ground is ben
efcial, and if the weather stays right
when it begins to warm up, the seed
will sprout quickly and the plants come
along fast enough to be ready for the
planting season.

SCHOOL BUDGET IS
BASED ON ACTUAL
MONEY EXPENDED
Wilmington to Receive Prac-
tics.y as Much a. It Did
Last Year.
FIGURES PROVE THAT FACT

That there Is no ground for alarm
regarding the appropriation which the
Board CT Education OF Wilmington
will receive from the State Board OF
Education and that In no EVENT. Will
there be any necessity as far ma the
state board Ia concerned for any halt
ing OF building program or other pro-
gressive work Is explained by DR..
Thomas II. Brown, president OF the
State Board OF Education.
At meeting OF the Board CT Edu-
cation on Monday, a member reported
that the appropriation for Whining
ton had been reduced $4,000 from the
sum appropriated to the local board
last year. For that reason, there was
apprehension on the part OF some OF
the members that this might mean
many more dire things than the cut
indicated. There was talk OF cutting
the building program and reduction
OF teaching forces. All OF which ac-
cording to DR.. Brown is not warrant
ed.
In explaining the situation, DIR
| Brown said the state board had made
its budget from the budgets present
ed by each local board OF education
throughout the state. Where II was
found that a local board OF education
had not expended the money appro.
priased to II last year, then thos,
items will correspondingly be reduce,
this year.
In the case OF the city OF Whining
ton, DIR. Brown showed that last yea
the allotments. for repairs. mainten
ance and upkeep were based on tn,
budget asked by Wilmington's boar,
which sought seo.365. This sum wal
appropriated. But according to tn,
money expended the local board use,
but about $4,000.
