THE LEAF.



The rush Of BUYERS to secure desirable
lots Of the crop OF 80 continues unabated,
though the activity is not quite so appar-
ent Oh the surface as it was . week or two
ago. The apparent lull is probably
caused by the immense amounts Of
leaf received at the city ware
houses within the past fortnight, and
WHICH it is absolutely necessary to get out
of the way before any more is delivered.
The fact. however, that great deal Of
the better quality of the crop has been al
ready purchased, and many buyers have
not yet secured as much OF it as they
want, keeps them in the tiel', and they
will probably remain there until they arc
fully supplied, or convinced that they can
not find what they want.
That there is great deal Of the crop
they do not want. except mt low prices, is
beyond qestiou, and it will probably re-
main on the hands of the growers unless
they arc willing to accept bnyers' prices.
The amount Of cash paid by buyers to
growers, ut the banks OF this city, during
the past two weeks is not less than half u
million OF dollars and may be considerably
more !; and this is exclusive of large sums
paid by country packers. To this must
be added thousands OF dollars, paid week
ly by packers to the many hundreds Of
men in their employ. Verify the tobacco
trade is Il sod-send to the grower and the
labOrer, and they should not object to the
packer and jobber ii they too make good
round profit on the capital they have in
vested in the trade.
There has not been much doing in old
tobacco during the past week for tho
very good reason that there is not much
Of it left in Lancaster. Those who can
find it are willing to pay we'll for it.
