The Tobacco Market
]. S. Gans's Son s Co.'S monthly circu-
lar, speaking Of tho New York market
says:
Notwithstanding the 'sBearish" procliv-
tiles Of our manufacturers, and We may
say nearly total abstinence of export de-
mand, good business has been done
1879 cropOf all kinds that contain good
useful wrappers has been dealt in and full
figures were realized, particulars of which
will be found in our list of sales below.
We trust that none of our friends i'm
agine that we favor high prices, ON the
contrary, for years We have tried to i'm
press upon all the necessity of buying the
crops at moderate figures, but alas, in vain:
had such been done last season our mar
ket would to-day present different ap-
pearance, although at the present time
with the segar trade flourishing and man
ufacturers in but few instances supplied
is encouraging.
Fine goods must rule higher, whilst for
common and low grades the chances are
poorer, and to all holders Of the latter
classes We say . do not miss any Opportu-
mites to dispose Of these Sorts"
Anoth + important fact looms up to tho
astonishment Of many, namely the greatly
Overestimated yielding qualities Of the
1879 crop ; this is, Of course, an incentive
to manufacturers to press prices, but ON
| the other hand u great benefit to holders
without large export outlet, our surplus,
at the time the 1880 crop will be in condi-
tion to work, will by no means be as large
| as many predict.
Supply and demand regulate all things.
while statistics usually lead operators
astray.
OF the new crop CSO), VIC can hardly
speak definitely to-day-the production
has been very large but Of its quality and
| sOundness our reports are very conflicting,
| but rather more untavorabls than other
| wise.
A Bully Whipped.
This morning Jake Bertz, aloud -mOuthed
Republican bully of the Ninth warl, re-
ceived good trouncing from y young
Democrat named Harry Bablc. Bertz be-
gan talking to an old man named Herr
about the parade last night, and became
very abusive. Herr walked away from
him, not desiring to quarrel. Bable was
standing near by and he told Bertz that he
ought to be ashamed to talk in that style to
an old man. At this Bertz became very
II
to take Herr's part. Bable told him that
he did not want tofisht. Bertz walked
up an alley near where they had been
talking and drew q mark with his foot, at
the same time bantering Bable to tight.
He asked the latter whether he would
clear him Of the law in case he whipped
him. Bable still said he did not wish to
fight, but assured him that there would
be no law suit ii he did. Bertz
was not satisfied and appeared
to be anxious to fight, SO he walked over
and struck Bable. who received the blow
on one arm and knocked Jake down with
the other hand He allowed him to get
up, and when he renewed the fight he
again sent him to grass He then proceed
ed to whip him which he did in 4 very
artistic manner and in 4 very short time.
A number Of persons witnessed the fight
and all said that it served Bertz exactly
right.
