Phis Markets.
During the past week the weather has
been very favorable for the growing crops,
and much of the late will make very fair
Leaf, but the Gerry late probably will not
be ablc to ''catch on" this season. Some
Lancaster county fatmers who planted
carly are now dissatisfied, because of too
much rain /; they say it does not give
them time to cut. and much of the crop is
very ripe. suffering to be of. A very
considerable part of the crop has already
been cut of, and farmers say they never
handled o crop that is SO tender ; it breaks
up very easily they want good sunshine
for at least week before cutting.
The sp0rtive flea is to be seen In abund-
ance in some localities and is getting his
work in We have seen some leaves that
we're literally riddled. Some farmers CON-
plain of damage by shed burn in their
tobacco now hanging in sheds.
We saw samples Of a packing Of "S1"
few days since; they looked very fine
and there is no doubt that "S1" is one of
the finest crops ever produced in this
county, if those samples are sample OF
the whole crop.
There was considerable business done
in ''8O'' last week at fair figures, taken

Sa,Dpling has been gone on vigorously
during the past week. The result is that
every packer of new tobacco favOrS you
with tho information, whether you ask for
it Or not. that his tobacco turns out "im-
mense - that the colors are something be-
yOnd imagination, and that the quality
and yield are marvellous, We confess that
tho new samples we have seen were really
fine ones. If there are bad ones, they
must be at tho bottom of tue sample cases
or at some seaside resort. They'll prob.
ably show up when the weather gets
cooler. Any estimate Of the values Of the
different '8l crops would therefore be
premature at this writing.
Tho sales of new tobacco are, or the
whole, restricted to Wisconsin aud Con-
necticut seconds. A small parcel of Con-

$50 cases of Ohio must be classed rs SAM
pie purchases. 1t cannot he denied that
SO far 81 Wisconsin has been the favOrite,
no open sales of Pennsylvania having been
made. The high price demanded for the
latter (25 to 80 cents) are in measure
the cause. Offers at Is, 20 and 23 cents
arc reported.
In old tObacc,s noticeable improve
