LOCAL TOHACcO TRADE,

The Continued Activity Among Dealers
Dealers in the weed continue active.
Everyday dozen or more buyers leave
their hotels in this city and drive to tho
country and pick up ssich lots as appear to
them to be worth the prices demanded.
They complain, however, that good goods
are scarce and held too high. Even second
grade leaf is getting scarce, aud low grades
are not superintendent.

There has been sold during the week

the transactions keep the prices private.
They are understood to have been q little
stiff.
. Farmers are beginning to prepare for
the crop Of the coming summer. Most
of them have their seed beds in good con-
dition some Lave plants we'll advanced,
protected under bristles, canvass or glass.
4 few have commenced spring
plowing, AVID soon there will be
general move along the whole
line, towards the putting in of tho crop.
Just how iirn. the acreage may be, is not
known. Heret "fnrc there has been steady
increase and The present year will prob
ably be no exception but some well in
formed people assert that the acreage in
this county, ard probably in the state, will
be less than that Of last year. They have
their belief from the fact that Tor yes1 or
| two past, large numbers Of tue farme.S
have become discouraged by reason Of the
| uncertainty Of the crop. the heavy losses
entailed by failure, and the imposition
they are sometimes subjected to at the
| hands Of dealers.
In tho Lower End.
The tobacco market i'll the lower end
still continues brisk, and for the small
! amount still in the hands OF the growers
there has been during tho last week =
goodly number Of buyers in the field. The
principal of these has heen Buckwalter
for Rosenwald, who has bought largely,
and B. G. Herr, for Hostetter, who shipped
car load from Quarryville on Saturday.
Among his purchases were three acres
from DR.. Sides at 15, 8, 6, 3; Robert
Clark, l.! acres at IL, 5, 3; Ross G. Col
Inns, acre at 6 cents through. He also
bought ) acres from Chas. AchesOn at
! private terms. l.. T. Hensel bought of
| II. ii. Keen, acres at 12s, 9, 5. 3, be-
sides several other crops at private terms.
| Another weeks purchases will about fin
| ish up the purchasing in the Lower End,
| where it i,as been generally conceded that
the crop was the best ever grown, and
has brought square prices during tho
whole season.
