LANCASTER TOBACCO MARKET
Growers and Packers Look for a Bright
Business This Month
Lancaster, Pa., Jan. 4. —The year
•iuts closed has been the dullest in Lan
caster county's tobacco circles in a dec
ade. Probably never in the history of
tobacco culture in this eounty were the
growers paid such low prices for their
crops for the 1913 tobacco, and the
trade of the local leaf dealers and the
cigar industry were at their lowest ebb.
December, as well as the previous
month, had been counted upon to put
some funds in tbe accounts of packers
and manufacturers, but these expecta
tions were not realized.
All are looking for an early revival
of business. In ilieir 1913 packing the
dealers say they have the finest tobacco
this county has grown for some years,
odor good, and a free, sure burner. The
little that has been sold went at 13
cents a pound, tnough it is predicted
that within another month it will ad
vance a cent a pound. Even then it
will be below the prices of the 1911
and 1912 packings. While crops of the
1914 toliacco havo been selling for the
past week, the total acreage disposed of
has not been large, not a thousand
acres, in fact, including the Havana
seed sold early in the season.
The Harrisburg Hospital is open
daily except Sunday, between 1 and 2
o'clock p. m. for dispensing medical
advice and prescription to those un
able to pay for them.
