The New York Tobacco Journal, which
has decided tendency to depreciate the
market, says: "Scventy-two pfennige a

could have been obtained for the goods in
this market, future shipments of 70 Penn
sylvania can be regarded as not highly
probable. The 1000 cases of the same
crop that left this country few weeks
ago amidst the congratulations of the
Lancaster, Pa, press, have safely arrived
and are waiting for buyers to turn up. A
sale of !, 100 cases of '79 Ohio has also been
made at Bremen this week. The price
obtained for il is figured down to Y cents.
So much for export.
At home the market has been active. A

brag 70 Pennsylvania into prominence,
but failed. As positive sale we note 500
cases at from IA to 90! cents; as a fiction,
or probability, we note 800 more.

in the 70 Pennsylvania.
In 70 HousatOnic we note sales of over

The aggregate of sales of 70 New York

Sales of $50 cases of 70 Wisconsin, at

Ohio of the 70 crop remains neglected.
The low Pennsylvania and State tobaccos
are preferred ut even higher price than
that which is being asked for 10 Ohio,
which is from to 10 cents.
The 80 crop all over the country has
turned out magniicently. While in some
sections, such as the Housatonic valley,
buying has been begun at figures equally
as big gh as those paid last season, it is due
only to the small quantity of tobacco that
those sections produce and for which there
is at all times a certain class Of manufac-
no movement toward the securing of the

last to realize the fact that buying green
tobacco at high figures means ruination to
the tobacco trade of the country.

bales, included in which is a sale of 400
bales to an uptown manufacturer. Prices
remain unchanged.

Trade Notes.
Tobacco Leaf
There has been large business done in
seed leaf since our previous report, the
sales reaching 8, $50 cases. Allgrowths of
1879 tobacco have been in demand. with a
very brisk inquiry for Pennsylvania, the
appropriations of that variety, summing
up, as seen in Messrs. Cans & Co.'s re-
view, 800 cases at from 124 to 375 cents.
The market is in very sound condition,
and the prospect of good fall trade ex-
cellent.
Pennsylvania tobacco is in good demand :
and is held at good figures, and no doubt,
before long, better prices will prevail, at
least SO says "good authority.''
Messrs. Emanuel Hoffman & Son sold
during tho week 200 cases of ofPennsylvania
and $50 cases of Connecticut to manufac- :
turers.
