The New York Market-seed Leaf and Ha-
wanna.
United States Tobacco Journal
It has been quiet week. Buyers have
not been plenty stocks offered were no.
of the kind to induce speculative invest
ment. 1t may almost be taken for grant,
ed that the rush for 70 tobacco has come
to an end, and whatever is yet in the mar
ket will sell off quickly in small lots, and
at least at no less figures than those that
are being paid for it to day. The balance
on hand Of the Connecticut maybe an ex-
ception, and decline in figures for it is
probable. Trials of every description
have been made by large manufacturers to
give more color to this Stock; but its ma
tural tenderness permits no rcsweating
nor successful rehandling; it has to be
worked into cigars as it comes from the
cases, and large manufacturers can
only be induced to buy it when
the wrappers are offered to them
at binder prices. To smaller manufac-
turers, and especially those making fine
goods, the, 70 Connecticut is still the su-
perior article !; but though they are paying
full value for it, they buy in but very
small quantities. Whether the 80 Con-
necticut will be different from its prede-
cessors in color and yield, remains to be
seen, though buyers of the same arc en-
thusiastic over their purchases already.
We sincerely hope that their expectations
may be realized but to he SO, their
tobacco must, above all, show quantity
quality is a secondary consideration. In
this respect the purchasers Of 80 state
have already practical assurance of sue
cess. Their stock certainly has the merit
of yield, and ifthe fermentation is not in
terfercd with by freaks of nature, 80 state
will play most important role in the
market. To predict the fate Of the 80
Pennsylvania crop is impossible at this
early date. The good portion of it is being
bought at last years high prices, while
the poor portion sells at 3 to 10 cents. We
cannot exactly sec the policy of buying
this poor portion AZ even such figures,
when for the same money good 80 Ohio
and Wisconsin, which is at least hOlelcss,
can be purchased. Packers seem to coin
eide with us i'm our view, as the influx Of
buyers in Ohio and Wisconsin last week
was exceedingly heavy. and extensive pur-
chascs have been made in both states.
