The 10baceO Leaf reports that there
has been less done in seed leaf the past
week than during the week preceding. as
might naturally be expected. both on ac-

many immediate wants. Trade in this

state tobacco the Leaf says: 1--WE will
have to revise our estimate Of the number
Of cases bought Of the 1880 crop ON Big
Flats. We have to report the purchase by
Messrs. E. Rosenwald & Bro, 1000 cases
instead Of 1000. as We are informed by
the agent Of this firm. This large num-
Der Of eases has been bought in the adja-
cont districts in TiOga county, Lawrence

ties, 1900 boxes.'

the majority of the packers. They a least

Connecticut Tobacco.
A correspondent OF the Leaf writing from
Hartford says: The market for leaf to
baccO, either old Or new, is extremely dull.
The buying Of tho new crop on the poles,
which has been done to some extent during
the last month, has entirely died out.
But little progress has been made in strip

and cold. Old tobacco is selling ut tho

have been made recently in Cincinnati, one
crop bringing l5c round. Wrappers bring

of coming here and buying ON
the poles.
The 1.nc.sl Tobacco Trade.
There has been nothing startling in to-
baccO circles in this city during the past
week. except the destruction Of Mr..
GrOffs large brick warehouse, involving
the destruction also of 245 cases Of old to-
baccO belonging to Mr.. Ticmeyer, full par
ticulars Of which have already appeared i'm

The local trade during the past week has
been very quiet, only about 200 cases of
1879 having changed hands and u few fine
crops of 1882 having been picked up by
