JEMAND FOR CLASS "C" CIGARS INCREASING, SANBORN ASSERTS

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN One does not hare to go very far afield to learn that the cigar making Industry has been in a very unsettled conamon, laicen as a whole, from the aate or the armistice down to the present time. This does not mean, however, that

the tobacco manufacturing industry are carrying it because, like the growhas suffered great losses, or that the ; ers, they want to get out as nearly manufacture of smoking, plug, snuff j even as may be, or with a profit if and cigarettes, has undergone great I possible. This is not the fault of the shrinkage. Not yet. by any means. ohoraM.i- nt th loaf hut nt tha fart

and now that we are getting down to business once more. In all lines of

trade and endeavor, we feel that the tobacco trade, as a whole, and Including the cigar manufacturing end, has seen its worst days. The conditions should constantly Improve from now on. unless indeed something serious should happen to the crops, which would, of course, have universal effect. No portion of the business Interests of the country has been more responrlve to all the demands of the government as to the various loan calls and apportionments for war relief work, than have the tobacco men. In the second loan call the New York district tobacco men subscribed more than ten millions when but three millions had been asked. When the Fourth Liberty loan was apportioned the tobacco and cigar men were asked to Talse twenty millions and they responded with an over-subscription of seven millions of dollars. As to the jt, Victory loan, the four largest subscriptions so far reported by the trade are: Liggett & Myers, $2,000,000; American Tobacco Co., $1,000,000 and the United Cigars Stores Co., L00,000. Unexampled Prosperity. The very fact that the manufacturers of tobacco and cigarettes have long been enjoying the most prosperous conditions in their history gives hope that the cigar maker will again shortly come into bis own. This by no means follows, however, for the fact .remains that a large proportion of the increase in demand for cigarettes and smoking tobaccos was largely at the expense of the trade in five and ten cent cigars. Just how soon that situation may be reversed cannot be stated. It is the one problem awaiting solution; affecting all forms of cigar leaf and every manufacturing plant of

size, having a shipping trade. One feature of the trade worth especial mention is the fact that the makers of clear Havana goods have not found it necessary to curtail pro duction in any where near the pn portion that the makers of the cheap er lines have been forced to do. Once an Havana smoker, always so, Is the rule, where Income permits indulging the taste for this class of cigars. But regardless of how rapidly the ordinary cigar manufacturer gets bark to average output, there Is always the hopo that cigar leaf will presently obtain the right-of-way and go abroad to fill the large gap In supplies. The long awaited export demand has so far failed to materialize, but that It must come sooner or later would seem to be assured, If the Europeans Intend continuing; the manufacture of the class of cigars formerly in favor, and in which all grades of American leaf were used to greater or less extent. An Uncanny Situation. A New York tobacco exporter said recently: "As for the filler market, a situation exists which is well-nigh uncanny, and one fraught with most interesting possibilities, which only the future can reveal. However, packers must realize that the dealer In tobacco today must never lose sight or the fact that though the long-look-ed-for export demand has not yet appeared, there always remains a chanco that It may. No man's prophecy is of much value, and the best posted can only guess what the future may bring." This, In a nutshell, seems to express the views of cigar leaf packers both east and west. But regardless of when the export movement may begin It Is a fact that there is an Increasing demand and a growing outrut of class "C" cigars right now; that Is of cigars selling above eight j cents each. This is surely a healthful sign and forms a break in the monotony of recent advices. Plantina to be Curtailed. There can bo no doubt of the fact that the tobacco acreage is to be cut In several districts. This is undoubt edly true of Connecticut shade and un grown. If the reports coming from the grower's associations may be relied on. These come with such a com plete detail that we must give them credence. But what Is done in the Connecticut River valley does not so greatlv concern either Ohio or Penn sylvania Just now, though shortage of

to wrapper or binder would nave lis eifeet later on, and binder Is actually a short crop right now, as binder stocks were low, comparatively, when the 1918 crop came into sight. The Edgerton, (Wisconsin) Reporter says: "The great menace to remunerative prices for the present year will be the size of the crop planted. A cut of 25,000 to 30,000 acres from that produced in 1918 would do more to stabilize prices than anything that can be done at the present time. If Wisconsin could cut its acreage to 100,000 or 150,000 cases of binder leaf for a season or so, to be gradually increased as the production of manufactured cigars regained Its normal proportion, then there would be good reason to look for a return of a remunerative market and a ready sale of our tobacco." In view of the demand for binders, In proportion to the size of the crops, It would seem that the editor of this Wisconsin paper Is needlessly alarmed. Binder leaf has brought very fair prices in Wisconsin and the Connecticut Valley product, not only of the remnant of 1917 crop but of the new

leaf. Is beginning to bring the highest prices paid in months. In considering the situation of the

'packers and their tendency to await a , turn In the tide we must not forget that many of them are still carrying a lot of first class 1917 filler leaf. They , that it was bought on the final wave of high prices, when the conclusion of the war seemed to be in the dim distance. This is also true as to stocks held by factors for the large cigar concerns, awaiting a better demand for cigars. All large cigar firms have some of this tobacco in their own plants or at country warehouse points, and naturally so, and this is to be used first. Much or little, depending on size of purchase, this leaf is a weight on the 1918 crop until the load is considerably lightened, after which the 1918 will come Into consumption in due course, next year. Large manufacturers must keep stocks up to a certain pitch, in order to be sure of being able to supply their trade with the ; kinds of cigars always in demand i from their own particular lines. The time will come when the 1918 crop will move naturally but Just what market conditions as relating to the cigar trade at that time will be there Is no possible means of foretelling. (TO BE CONTINUED) Deacon Dobson UP FROM THE SOIL Lincoln knew its value, says the National War Garden Commission, of Washington, so plant a garden. Abe Lincoln was a farmer good, who did th' chores and chopped th wood; he spadod up th' garden spot, and planted seeds when sun was hot. He learned th' lesson there o' thrift, and though he wasn't very swift, he plodded on from day to day, and made his little garden pay. We all admire old Honest Abe, who started life with hoe and spade, and made th' character, b' gee, that helped him mold our destiny. No greater burdens e'er were borne, than his when this old land was torn, .by shot -and shell and civil strife that gripped th' nation's very life. But through it all he led th way, determined that th right should sway, th minds o' men till all should see, th' negro set from slavery free. His sterling wealth o heart and bouI, our press and pulpit oft extol, and in th' schools our children sing, th' praises of our uncrowned king, As days and years shall come and go with summer heat and winter snow, they'll find us ever prone to tell, of him who served his country well. And generations yet to come, will chant th' praise as we have done and tell o' this man's magic charm, who Etarted on th' humble farm. LIFT OFF CORNS! Apply few drops then lift sort, touchy corns off with fingers No pain! Doesn't hurt a bit! Drop a little Freezone on an aching corn, instantly that corn stops hurling, then you lift it right out. Yes, magic. A tiny bottle of Freezone costs but a few cents at any drug store, but Is j sufficient to remove every hard corn, soft corn, or corn betwen the toes, and the calluses, without soreness or irritation. Freezone Is the sensational discovery of a Cincinnati genius. It is wonderful. Adv.

The flowers are budding, as well as the grass in the parks, and here and there you can see a wee bit of green on the trees. Everything seems to bheathe with a desire to throw off the shackles of winter clothing as soon as possible. Man, especially is anxious to dress lightly, although it is very dangerous to do so. You cannot tell when a chilly day may come right after a warm spring day. Then you have a cold and a good chance for either pneumonia or the influenza. To avoid this possibility, as well as to clean out the system of the poisons which accumulate In the system of the human being, it is the best thing in the world for you to take a good laxative such as Laxcarin.

Ever Thought of a Tire Bonus, Mr. Truck Owner? . Say, for example, you gave your driver $1 on every single tire end $2 on every dual for every thousand miles over the malier's guarantee. How advantageous such an arrangement -you save from $10 to $20 per thousand miles, just by spending a dollar or two. And fancy your driver how careful. How he would ease the truck over bump3, how he would refrain from spinning the rear wheels, for instance, lest he grind off dollars. With GOODRICH DE LUXE Truck Tires under your load and 100 co-operation from your driver, you would write off your original tire investment several times. for DE LUXE Truck Tires have in their deep, specially toughened treads a natural thrift that can easily be broadened by the raoihod adadvanced.
