TOBACCO.


q. 8. Tobacco journal.
Our market presented . lively appear
ance and not counting the customary
braggadocio sales OF some Of our would-be
prominent leaf brokers, the ansctions OF
the week may be credited with 8, 500 cases.
Two new concerns, Chicago leaf jobbing
and q New York cigar N .uufacturing firm,
were among the heaviest investors. A. .
leader, the 70 Housatonio figured. This
tobacco which. when the season opened,
sold more readily than the 70 Pennsyl-
vania. has FOR several months past been
much elected. and only now begins to
loom up again ia its deserved prominence.
The reasons for this may ie found. frst,
in the reluctance %; holders Of choice lots
Of 80 Pennsy lvania to part with them At
the present reigning figures secondly,
in the now increasing orders ny
iobbers for strictly fine see% aud Havana
cigars without the old objection to light
cciors In addition to this the sales OF
nes rly 700 cases of 70 Ohio to manufac
turers this week 60 in the hands with the
fact that only manufacturers Of really fine
aud really common cigars are busy just
now. The expectations Of our manutac-
turers are tor as heavy trade as that
which characterized last year, provided
Congress shall not interfere with the tax
on cigars. ANY agitation by manufacture
ers in this d;recti II will not alone clog
their business but seriously affect the leaf
market. The 1880 tobacco crop exceeds
the home demand compared with that Of
last years. by over 100000 cases. We
must have an export outlet and an unin.
terrputed activity among our manutactur-
ers II We don't want to see leaf drug in
the market. We can but repeat our pre-
vious warning to packers. Do not pay high
figures and do not neglect to inspect the
crops of Ohio ami Wisconsin. Samples of
leaf from the latter named states sent to us
by disnterested parties show consider
able percentage OF very useful wrappers,
which may be bought at reasonable fig

Havana.-Very active. Manufactures
and jobbers bought heavily. SO that the
trans actions may be summarized to 500
bales. Prices are firm and there is no
reasonble ground that fall in figures for
80 stock may take pace this year. A
telegram published in the dailies here from
Havana, spoke OF sudden rains ruinous to
the 'Sl Havana crop. 1t was considered
by the trade as .in attempt to push the
80 crop. At least the dispatch had no
effect in this market.
Prices for 70 rule as follows:
Low, s. TO 95 cents; medium, 81 to

Collectors Of revenue districts no lOr z .r
ask manufacturers of cigars to file bonds
for the strippers in their employ. This
new regulation is due to the practice of
leaf dealers, who of late, in repacking. re.
sweating and rehandling of leaf, employed
strippers to do this work and as there
existed no law which might force them to
take out a license for such purpose or give
bonds, manufacturers of cigars considered
it an Injustice to be asked to file bonds for
their shippers.
