Seed Leaf-The past week to handlers
of cigar leaf did not prove as flattering in
sales as the previous. Manufacturers now
seem disposed to hold off and see how the

that the trade for the present is confiued
to old leaf, which is being purchased for
immediate use. Quite q number of OK.

Local Tobacco Affairs.
Trade has been very quiet during the
past week. A few small packings of old
tobacco have been sold, aggrega ting not
mere than 200 cases. The boom in 1882
leaf has subsidized for the present and it is
not likely that there will be any marked
activity in it until the crop shall be sam
pied. This important branch of the bust.
ness will commence towards the end of
this month and continue through Septem.
ber.
A few old lots of loose '92 continue to
come to some of the warehouses, but the
packing has virtually ceased and tobacco
packers are hard to find about town, nearly
all of them being absent on their summer
vacation.
Tho fine weather of the past week has
been very favorable for the growing crop.
The small late plants are coming on finely,
and if they escape early frost will mako a
fine yield for the planter. Considerable
quantities of ths early planted patches
havo been cut off and show very we'll, the
leaves being large, of deep green color,
and very free from damage by insects.
Later reports from the hail cut districts
are more favorable than those sent in i'm
mediately after the storm. 1t is now that not
more than 1000 or 1900 acres we're dam
aged by the hail, and of this quantity nor
more than one.half was entirely destroyed.
In many of the fields over which the storm
passed tho plants wero small and the
damage correspondingly light. These
fields are now growing finely,
and month hence will show
scarcely a trace Of damage. The secretary
of the Lancaster county hail insurance
company, Of Lititz estimates the entire
loss of the company at about $10, 600,
which is being paid as rapidly as the losses
can he adjusted and which will be paid in
full and unless there shall BE- further

half of the premium notes given by policy
holders will have to DO paid. The loss of
the York county hail insurance company
will be from s15, 900 to $4,000 and the
company has an ample fund to meet all
losses. We have not learned the amount
of loss sustained by the Chester county
company, but it is not probably half as
large as either of the other companies. It
is impossible to estimate with any degree
of accuracy the losses Of the uninsured.
but they are probably more than twice as
large as tho losses of the insured, making
the total loss from $780, to $3.50, OOO
This is round sum of money, but is
nevertheless a good deal less than one
tenth of the value of the entire crop OF the
county.
