Local Tobacco Matters


Local Tobacco Matters.
Last week was i quiet one in this city
among the tobacco men. only few of
whom werc engaged in buyiu.
loose tobacco for the very good reason
that there is little to buy. 1t is doubted
whether there remains in the han{ls Of
growers i'll this county 800 cases If desir-
able loose leaf. There are some good
crops not yet sold, but they are held ut
high figures and there are some poor crops
that would be dear ut almost lny price.
Quite \ number Of growers have case,(
their own leaf and this is, or ought to be.
for sale.
A good many dealers and jObbers have
been prospecting among the late packinss
in this city and elsewhere to ascertain the
general condition Of tho CROP Packers
however, are 4 little steep in their prices
and comparatively few sales arc reported,
the buyers apparently prcferring to wait
until the packings shal, have been sam
pied.
The new crop has all been planted and
is growing finely. Generally tho plants
are large and thrifty, and the farmers are
leisurely engaged in cultivatins it. Some
Of the young plants are reported rs havin:
leaves IL inches in length. but these arc
Of course exceptional grOwths There has
been almost too much rain lately to admit
Of cultivation, an,l from few sections W.
hear Of the plants being cut by the hail,
but not much injured.
Following arc some recent sales Of loose
tobacco:
George Welk, Of Manor township, has
sold to Mr.. Atwatcr acres, part of it IL,
6 and 3, and part nj it at %, 5 and 1.
Diller Ranck, Of East Lampcter, has
sold to Mr.. Fatman his crop at 1o. q
and 3.
New York Tobacco Market.
L. $. Journal
Never were there so many smiles and
happy faces in the market as there are
now. The 80 Pennsylvania sells easily ut
fine profit, while the 80 Connecticut sweats
we'll and apparently darker than any Of
the preceding, crops Of THAT state. The 80
Wisconsin and Massachusetts Havana seed
arc being picked up eagerly at large
figures. Tho 80 New York state proper
also looks exceedingly promising, and even
the much abused 80 Ohio begins to find
favor with prospective buyers.
While all these crops named enjoy the
agreeable attention of buyers, the 80 Big
Flats, formerly New York s pride, ,slumbers
softly on the hands, or even in the arms.
Of packers. Now and then perambulat-
ing broker will whisper loudly that some
buyer has offered III enormous profit on
the " Big Flats packin, OF IN illustriOus
packer, but that he was rcpulsed with
halshness AMI contempt. But this is all
that is heard Of it actual sales Of this
commodity have been but few, ii any.
The cause is not lui . clear. The tobacco
certainly has sufficient yielding quality,
and though here and there afflicted with
white veins, Indicative of quality, even in
it's present early state OF fermentation.
Whether it is feared that tie in general
silky, though somewhat tender, leaf can-
not stand fermentation. AMI that probably
it will rot, Or whether there are other in.
tlicatiOns OF disaster known only to the
more initiated ones, is impossible to tell
but it is certain, however, that the leaf in
question is ut present under the ban Of
suspicion, and buyers arc steering clear Of
it. 1t may be that all the bad opinions
regarding it will turn out wrong, and that
the 80 Big Flats will become mint to
it's present somewhat ilemOraliZci owners.
Certain it is that there will be III outlet
for all the 80 crop; and with the excep-
ton OF real trashy ant: unsound goods.
everything else is bound t. bring solid
profit to the packers. The manufacture Of
cigars is tlOurishiHg with NO sign Of any
abatement in production in the near fu-
ture. The financial condition OF the trade
is highly assuring, and abu<c all else, the
yield Of the so crop is but little, if any,
larger than that of the -. Nobody in
the market cares ro contact with export
ers. There is but little leaf this country
can spare. and exporters can pay only very
small prices.
