Tebaccs.
The New York Market.
U. S. Tobacco journal.
In old goods, among which We may now
properly place 70 tobaccos, quiet though
extensive business was done. Out-Of-town
buyers, fearful lest they be left without an
assortment of good wrappers before the
80 is fit to use, hastened to secure every
thing in the way of profitable lots of wrap
pers. By reason thereof prices are once
more on tho increase. This laying in of
old stock had the effect of setting
aHoat rumors of many sales of 80
tobacco, and if all them prove
true, an unprecendentedly early market
opening of new stock has taken place.
The positively known transactions in 80
tobaccos were l, 100 cases of Pennsylvania
and 800 cases of Connecticut. Though we
have serious reason to doubt the veracity
of the spreaders of the reports, other
transactions in 80 stock thus early in the
season would be nothing surprising. The
fear that a great portion of the go tobacco
might turn out poorly has hastened the
sale of 70 tobaccos. In fact, no such
prices as are quoted now would rule for
70 Pennsylvania if this fear had not taken
a firm root among manufacturers and
iobbers. It is tlfis fear which makes
them examine clio: ely all of the 80 stock
in the hands of reputable parties, and
rapid sales Of many choice packings will
no doubt be reported soon. How far peo-
pie are justified in allowing this fear to
govern their operations, the near future
will tell. We would advise our readers to
inspect in person all of the 80 crops be-
fore investing in any special one, be it
Ohio, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Pennsylva-
MIA or state. The representations made
by parties regarding this or that crop may
be intended to he honest; but it can't be
supposed that parties who have what is
termed "sticker will make special Of
forts to impart the Intelligence to an un-
appreciative public.

"Cheose It,"
At "a recent meeting of the Lancaster,
Pa, agricultural society, the question
was argued at length whether the manu-
facturc of butter and cheese could he car
risd on successfully on a farm where the
raising of tobacco forms prominent fea.
ture. Whatever may be the opinion. OF
interested parties We, for ourselves, EN-.
phatically say yes. The farmer who in
Lancaster county can raise and sell tObac.
co can successfully combine with it the
manufacture of cheese-because a great
many of the tobacco buyers there don't
know the difference between green tobacco
and green cheese.
