MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 4, 1881.
The Leaf.
New York Tobacco Market.

u. 5. Tobacco journal.
The market was listless and apathetic
this week. Those who have something to
sell console themselves with the idea that
all 70 stocks will yet be disposed OF at
higher figures, and those that want to buy
are not exactly in a fever about purcbas-
ing, owing to the quietness which prevails
in the cigar manufacturing line. The in
terest of the market is centered upon the
80 crops, and the opinions regarding the
value Of crops Of particular states keeps
on varying, like March or April weather.
There is the assurance, however, that the
country will not suffer for the want of low
grades Of tobacco from the 80 crop,
though no one claims to have bought such.
For the past several years Pennsylvania
has succeeded in becoming standard
article. Its reputation has much to do
how good or bad the other 80 crops turn
rs far as reputation goes. 1t is really to
he wished that the investors in go Con-
necticut and state seed be repaid this time
for their trouble and risk. Manufacturers
of state seed have kept shy Of last years
owing to the ruinous result of the '78
crop, which, though promising in every re-
spect when removed from the field, CON-
pletely rotted while sweating in tho cases.
Connecticut, possessing qualities no other
crop can boast of, has not retained its old
standing in the market for the past few
years, the yield not proving profitable to
extensive manufacturers. Its only hope
in becoming a prosperous article to the
last investors in it, lies with its yielding
quality. IF the 80 has such, then no
fear need he entertained Of its success in
the market. Tho 80 Ohio aud Wisconsin
are spoken of very favOrabiy. At the
prices they are being bought, little risk is
taken.
The sales Of the past week sum np as
follows
Pennsylvania. Crop 70: 600 cases ; l20
cases wrappers, 40 cents; fine running.
222 cents; medium, IS cents low, II
cents filters, cents.
Connecticut. Crop -: 200 cases, most
ly wrappers, js cents.
Ohio. Crop 10: 2OG cases low, mostly
for export, cents.
Havana. Marke. quiet. Sales reach but
400 bales, mostly 70, at figures previously
quoted.
In Philadelphia.
Business is fairly active, old leaf yra,lu-
ally moving into the hands Of consumers.
This is specially the case with Pcnnsylva-
mia, so much so that prices have stitfenca.
Some dealers claim that it is difficult to
procure the proper kind Of cid Pennsyiva
MIA now which ill the requirements of
manufacturers. Tic general report of this
branch of the trade is encouraging for the
future.

Tobacco Leaf
4 good business was done in seed Leaf
in March in this market, though the sales
foot up less than in February. AS will be
seen below, there were ., 50l cases the past
month and 1865 the previous month.
The sales for export in March slightly cX-
ceeded those in February, being :15 cases
against G11J.
The transfers were all OF 1879 growth,
with the exception of l22 eases 1873 Ohio.
The 1879 Pennsylvania was in active de
mand, as also was the 1879 Ohio. New
England leaf was. moderately dealt in, as
were State and Wisconsin, the movement
in these latter threc varieties awaiting
probably Il later impulse.
Buying has been very active i'll the coun-
try. From all the growing sections our
correspondents report large influx OF
purchasers. March was the busiest month
Of the season in ali the producing states.
BY referring to the tables Of quotations
it will be seen that an apprcciable advance
in price was affected for low, fair and fine
assorted Pennsylvania, and recession
in Ohio and Wisconsin.
