FOREIGN SITUATION HAS
DIRECT BEARING
ON TOBACCO MARKET.
Farmers May Not Realize Good Prices
for Weed, Says Mr. Foseley.
Mull ins Enterprise.
One of the features of the recent
annual meeting of the Danville Tobacco
association was the report on
the past season's activities and prospects
for the future drawn up by E.
O. Foseley in the absence of J. Pennberton.
Peen, the vice president. The
report is given in part hereunder and
will be of interest to those connected
With the tobacco industry.
In taking a restrospcct of the event
ful seven montns in wmcn me market
was forced to sell and buy over
thirty million pound of leaf tobacco,
which six years ago required ten
months to handle, we find that ell records
were broken, and it has been
clearly demonstrated that the ware^
housemen and buyer are equipped for
any emergency; that the strenuous
lives lead by those engaged in the tobacco
business during the seven
months was a severe tax upon their
. physical, mental and financial ability.
To think of handling a business in bo
short a period amounting to more
than thirty million of pounds costing
.nore than sixteen millions and a half
of dollar., with so little damage to
the stock and with as few errors made
' ' { la a remarkable record on the Dan
I -rille market ... The prices obtained
t\ tor all grades including scrap tobacco
sold was greater than ever known on
this world-famed market. An average
of 155.40 per hundred pounds
for all grades including syrap tobacco
? was realized, this went over the top

of any previous record of prices obtained
on this great market. Never
before have the producers and shippers
who sold on the Danville market
been so liberally rehumerated for
their offerings of tobacco. To revert
to the fact that this vast amount of
business was transacted by so large a
number of men with conflicting interest
without the least friction, is
pleasing indeed and commenda'ble in
any tradesmen.
The banking houses of our city are
to be commended for their ability as
well as their liberality in providing
the necessary money to pay the sellers
for amount of their sales upon the
immediate presentation of checks for
same.
We venture to say it would have
been a physical impossibility to have
handled the amount of tobacco within
seven months time had not the,
(basket system been in vogue. The
wonder Is thai this method of handlihg
loose tobacco offered was not
adopted many years ago. ?
The most liberal buyers on the Danville
market where the five great companies
who have established great
plants in our city of tremendous capacity
> which were used to the limit
many of them running night and day
during the seven months period to
take care of purchases made the previous
day". A large number of independent
buyers bought very largly of
the J919 crop. The early purchases
made were disposed of readily at satisfactory
profits, but owing to foreign
exchange conditions the demand later
in the season was greatly reduced and
their profits correspondingly so. This
was the prime factor in bringing
the decline in prices at the close of

the tobacco year. It can be truthfully
said the producers who sold early in
:he season were the ones who derived
;he greatest profit out of the 1919
:rop. They are to be congratulated
tpon reaping their deserved reward.
The foreign demand for tobacco
s not nearly so great as it was this
fime last year. Most of the manufacturers
abroad are largely stocked
it present, indeed so great has been
:he congestion in England that the
British government had to restrict
:he importation of a very limited
luantity until prevailing conditions
jecome more clearly normal. In Holand
the receipts have so much ex:eeded
the capacity to store that
mousanas 01 nogsneaas are siorea on
;he docks waiting disposition. In the
Orient the quantity delivered has exceeded
their capacity to handle and
shipping instructions have been cancelled
until provisions can be made
o care for same. The item of foreign
xchange is great against their buyng
more than iheir trade demands,
rhe consumption of cigarette grades
)f tobacco have very greatly increased
in Japan and China during the past
'ew years, at the same time the area
or the culture of such tobacco has
;reatly increased.
We are of the opinion that the denand
for the better grades of Old
Belt Virginia Cigarette Tobacco will
contlnu? for years to come but we are
nclined to the belief that on account
)f the greatly increased cost of proluction,
the producers will not make

To keep the farmers producing the
needful quantity of tobacco without
an actual loss to them demands, the ?
continuation of good values for their
product.
The 1920 crop has been planted at
a higher cost for labor than that of I
former years. The unequalled demand
for farm labor by the con- f
structjon companies throughout the t
country caused many to leave the <3
country places to accept the extraor- t
dinars' wage offered them. Those who r
remain on the farm are demanding 1
and receiving greatly increased pay, I
so unless prices are fairly well main- c
tained ihe tobacco crop will be any- a
thing other than a renumerative one s
tc teh producers. t
It is too early to make a prediction
regarding the 1920 crop. The season a
for planting was about ten days late,
the weather being cooler than usual
for the month of May and the dampness
necessary for successful planting
was lacking but early in June the season
became more favorable. On account
of the scarcity of labor we do
not thinlc that the. acreage planted
ha3 been increased over that of last
year. The outcome of the planting
cannot be otherwise than guessed at
this early in the seasQn, there being
30 many contingencies to reckon with
before the harvesting season. A decrease
in acreage would be greatly to
the advantage of the producer. *

The probability is that the tomatoes
on Mr. Rogers' potato plants
will not mature and ripen as the
plants, along with all other Irish po- \
tato plants are now dying. This will f
prevent obtaining the tomato seed ffl '
for planting. The only hope of re*
producing these plants will be from
the potatoes that grow on the root^.
Perhaps in the future, if similar
.plants can be grown again, some way . . .
may be found to prolong the life of
the plants till the tomatoes mature. 'J
