Again a large packing of 80 Pensyl-
vania was purchased by large cigar man
ufacturing firm. This is another victory
for that crop and another blow to Connec-
ticut and New York state leaf.
Nobody at all familiar with tobacco and
the general condition Of the 80 crop, can
say that the 80 Pennsylvania is good
CROP 1t has none of the merits or the '7S
and '79 crops, but it has all their faults
and more. The 80 Connecticut and New
York state crops (Big Flats excepted) are
excellent in quality and also, apparently.

large manufacturers who SO far have en-
tered tho market as buyers have given
them and most other growths the cold
shoulder and bought go Pennsylvania
most eagerly. Had the manufacturers
but taken small packings or small parts

positive standing could be claimed for the
crop. But as the purchases referred to
have not been experimental, and in many
instances calculated to be a years full

the result Of this strange behavior of mall
ufacturers. They SEQ tho latter's destruc-
tion and ruin in it, and prophesy a trc-
mendlous rush for their crop when the
awakening comes. For our part wo do
not see anything discouraging to them, nor
to holders of any of the other sound 1880
crop, in this preference for Pennsylvania.

Will not Grow Tobacco. |
A number of the members of the Society |
of friends IN New Garden township, Chcs- |
ter county, made arrangements to put in a |
crop of tobacco this year. This coming to |
the ears of the heads of the meeting in |
that township the matter WAS discussed, |
which resulted in the would-be growers
being brought before the proper author
tiles Of the society and notified that it was
against the discipline to grow the weed, as
it was considered to be injurious to morals
and health. The result was that sooner
than, possibly, be expelled fiom the meet
ing, the enterprise was abandoned.
