The general impression is that the best
sale of the season was made the other day
by Mr.. Hike to the fire insurance compa.
nies.
Mr.. Fred. Schulz took his departure for
Lancaster on Tuesday, whittier he goes to
purchase tobacco that he may chance to
find which comes up to his idea Of fine
goods. He will be absent for two weeks
or thercabOuts.
The young and widc-awake firm Of
Messrs. Spear s. Held made a hit and now
hold a full hand. We refer to their pur
chases of 600 cases choice 1880 Pennsylva-
mia from Messrs A. S. ROscnbaum & Co.
Mr.. Carl Upmann bought of Messrs. e.
II. Spitzner & Son. 900 cases of the new
crop Of PENNSYLVANIA tobacco at private
terms. This lot of tobacco was the Lam
caster county packing of Mr.. II. IL. Bru-
baker, and is, presumably, designed for
export.

yond expectation. More goods have been
sold than usual for the season. One of
