Seed leaf-So far the past week trade
has been very quiet, dealers buying only
in such quantities Al they can readily han
die but as Congress has now adjourned,
and caunot possibly meet for four months,
a new deal in all branches is now contem-
plated therefore the balance of the year
is looked forward to as hopeful and full Of
promise. -.-.
The Local Markst-cenditton Of the Crow
Ing Crop.
As far as the weather was concerned the
last week has had good share of rain.
and has had the effect Of making glad tic
heart Of many tobacco growers. In some
who had their crops we'll started and to
those who had poor prospects they will
now in all probability have good crops.

favorable than it was then. Plenty of
crops however can yet be secn that arc not
larger than mans hand nor will they

A great deal of the very finest tobacco
in the lower end Of tho county has suffered
very badly from the storms of the week.
In the valleys Of the streams there is
scarcely a field that did not suffer, and in
the extreme lower end a very heavy hail
storm did mach damage. To give our
readers some idea of how badly the crop
was cut We give the following adjustment
of losses Kirk Brown gets $125 an acre,
Dorsey $50 aud others in the same vicin-
ity from s.s5 to $125. 49,
Most of these cut were insured in the
Southern Mutual located at Fairfield. 1t

heavy, but its officers arc among the best
business men of tho lowcr end. The Ian.
caster company, of Lititz, have SOrne OF
the risks which we believe have all beei,
adjusted satisfactorily to all parties. Dur
ing the storm on Tuesday some hail fell in
the vicinity of Quarryville and cpt some
crops severely. During the last few days
We have seen considerable quantity Of
fine tobacco that is scalded, too much

A few farmers have began cutting,
whilst still some are hoeing,. a thing that
is almost unprecedented in the crop in this
county. Our York county neighbors are
complaining bitterly over the prospects O
the growing crop.
