United States Tobacco Journal
Quite a scramble for old stock was no.
,iceabIe tkis veek. People begin to care
anier the name of Pennsylvania, Connec-
ticut or New Jersey. Yielding wrappers
ara vanted and such bring excellent
f;cures irrespective Of where they were
grown.
our oft expressed opinion that tho satisfies
of the agricultural department regarding
the Weld of crops for the past several years
have been utterly false. This country
nroduced in '79 but SO, 600 cases moro than
were required for homo consumption.
This surplus Europe has taken while bnsi-
ness depression was reigning there. The
home consumption of - tobacco for the
wear up to date may be set down ~ having
reached $50, ,OOO cases. There arc probably
not over 1000 cases of 70 tobacco in the
country. Therefore figuring the 1900
cases that were taken for export, tho total
yield of the 70 crop may safely be got
600 cases. The agricultural bureau at
Washington calculated the 70 crop to have
yielded nearly 3OO, 900 cases.
The reports regarding the yield Of the
80 crop arc to day seemingly as much ex.
aggerated. In view of many proofs, 1t
may be taken for granted that the 80 crop
was no larger than the '7S, and that there
is a reasonable show that packers of sound

their Investments, and that packers OF
cigars, will at least, be able TO make selec-
.tiOns at figures not exorbitant.
AS far as could be ascertained, only 800
cases of 80 tobacco changed hands this
week. They consisted Of Wisconsin Ha-
vana seed, and were taken by large city
manufacturer.
The summary Of the weeks transactions
is as follows:
WiscOnsin-Crop 80; 200 cases, p. t.
Pennsylvania-Crop 10; 500 cases !;
wrappers, 81 to 43c ; fine running, 24c ;
low, 13c filters, &c.
COnnecticut-CrOp 10; $50 cases ;
wrappers, % to &c.
Ohio-Crop 70; 1GO cases wrappers,
selections, Is to 1Sc.

number sold during the week reached
1900 bales. Some samples of the 81
PartidO crop have arrived here from
Havana. In the opinion of a few it hasn't
sufficient gum. The leaf. however, is
silky and wrappery, and if the samples
fitly represent the crop, it is our belief il
will turn out we'll.

"A Solf Contradiction.
The United States Tobacco Journal says
"Thc Lancaster, Pa, press was too mucl
taken up this week with local politics t.
devote a great deal Of attention or spac
TO the weed. How much valuable infor
nation and knowledge the tobacco worl
has lost thereby is incalculablc.'
All the same, the Journal republishe
every word the Lancaster papers say O.
the subject rs its only reliable way o
informing its readers on the subjects in
vOlved.
