The Outlook for lssO-The New York Mar
ket-The Local Trade.
A drive of some forty miles through the
county recently presented nothing SO
striking in agricultural operations as the
general cultivation of tobacco, the activity
Of the growers in cutting and housing it,
and the many improvements which they
arc making in facilities for storing it.
Throughout the northeastern part of the
county where some depreciation had been
reported we found the crop very good.
The growth of the tobacco has not been as
rapid and the quality will not likely be as
fine as last year, but it will average excel
lcntly, the acreage is quite as large, If not
greater, tho weight will exceed that of
1880, and when the profits of the planting
are counted they will be as great. The
crop now being housed has very luckily
escaped hail or any other general disaster,
and is now pretty we'll out of danger.
More than half of it is housed. Few fields
have not as yet been touched with the
knife, many arc entirely cleared, and in
nearly all the foremost crops arc pretty
we'll in. Another week of good weather
will see the tobacco mostly on the poles.
1t is noticeable now many tobacco sheds
many with basemcnts-have been built
during the past year, and all indications
point to the growing appreciation OF the
farmer that it is in the successful curing of
his crop that it's profit must he largely en-
hanccd. The crop of each succeeding year
is better housed and handled than before.
The New York Market.
The Tobacco Journal for the past week
continues to bear the market, represents it
as dcmoralizcd, predicts an immense 80
crop and a lowering of prices from % to
80 per cent. H-dcc3eacs that 70 tobacco
is drug and export at a stand-still. The
Journal has Of late shown such DISPOSE
tion to sacrifice the truth to its own pride
of opinion and reckless desire to keep down
prices and Justify its cver-failing predic-
tiOns, that it is with little confidence that
we quote even its reported sales of last
week:
Connccticut.-Crop 70: 200 cases Sec
onds and filters, 12s and y cents. $50
cases Havana seed, running Is to % cents.
Pennsylvania.-Crop IT'S: $50 cases
filters, 12 cents running, 20 cents wrap
pers, 40 and 4j cents. Crop 70: 600 cases

The local Market.
Topping, cutting and housing the crop
of 1880 is still the order of the day amons:,
farmers. 1t is thought that more than
half the crop, in weight, has been cut off,
but many hundred acres, planted late, arc
still untoppcd-somc of it hardly worth
topping.
Samplers are still active with the cror
of 1879, and their judgment is that it is 4
good ono, Us a whole. Buyers have picked
up Il few hundred cases during the past
week ut private rates.
Among its local jottings the New York
ISbacco Leaf reports the following sales of
1879 in New York last week: c. ii
