MONDAY EVENING. JULY IL. 1881.
Tobacco Market.

Seed Leaf and Havana for the Week End
Ing saturday, July 9'
u. s. Tobacco journal.
This has been quiet week. The hOlI-
day, the heat, the absence of many opera
tors who prefer summer resorts to leaf
sample rooms and the murmuriog OF the
waves or chirping Of tho birds to the chin
music of brokers' combined to create dull
ness in the market. The few who did
some business kept il to themselves. and
therefore reports of sales were extremely
meagre.
The feeling on the part of holders Of
sound 80 tobacco that it will sell sooner or
later at moro or less remunerative figures
predOminates, and no anxiety is mani
tested by them to show samples. The
enormous rush of business manufacturers
are undergoing strengthens the feeling
referred TO. Nobody can be induced To
believe in a great reduction Of the cigar
business in the near OF far future, and as
cigars can't very we'll be made Of any
thing else but tobacco Except now and
then, 4 little fried mackereI, parts Of UNI
brellas, etc. }, as as tho quantity raised in
1880 is supposed to be no larger than that
raised in 1879, and as of the latter the
DldEkCto dIO DdIS, LIic on
will have to be taken hold Of at, at least,
no smaller figures than are ruling to day.
At present Pennsylvania is king.
Whether it can be dcthroned by COnnccti
cut when the latter has gone through the
sweat and can show its proper qualities,
remains to le seen. Manufacturers want
tobacco that stretches. If it has not quail
ity, quality is impaired by means which
they can control. Tender tobacco may be
never SO desirable on account of its natural
qualities, and never So much desired by
the manufacturers, but it, is dislikcd 10y
cigarmakcrs, and just now cigarmakcrs
arc the most important factor in a cigar
factory.
The sales of the week were: PcnnSyl-

Seed Lcaf-Cigar leaf continues excel
lent with those who arc fortunate in hav-
ing the desired stock. Considerable new
Connecticut seconds have been offered on
the market, aud found willing purchasers :;
it is claimed that they arc better than the

up; holders appear to be we'll satisfied
after examination. Prices generally hold
steady.
