Sumatra, Seed Leaf and Havana for the
Week Ending Saturday, April @S.
10 a. In.'
U. 8. Tobacco Journal.
Sumatra-Sales 300 bales. Out of
town jobbers and local manufacturers
were the main takers. Transactions will
not be very extensive in the next few
days, as buyers are awaiting samples of
the new, which, it is expected, will arrive
here next week.
Seed Leaf-While the week just passed
has again been marked by spirit OF de-
lection aud general apathy, it can reason
ably be expected that the next and some
of the following::weeks will be character
lied by an improvement, at least as far as
the number of buyers and the number OF
transactions ore concerned. The great &C
cumulation of cigars ready for shipment
will leave the factories early next week,
allowing manufacturers thereafter to III.
spect the leaf market at the necessary
leisure. We advise holders to unload at
the lowest price possible, now that an op-
portunity OF, at least, making sales will be
offered. 1t is our most positive conviction
that the market throughout the summer
will be languid and inactive. The new
tobacco will be fit for manipulation in fac
tories unusually early this year, and there
fore prospective buyers will bridge over
till then, unless they can buy the old
stocks at very low figures.
Connecticut seconds were most sought
after this week, and several hundred cases
were sold at from 1O4 to III cents. These
figures are SO much out of proportion to
those the sanguine packers expected to
realize that once more our predictions,
made early in the packing season, have
proved true. Most of the investments in
'S2 Connecticut we're made with view OF
obtaining Is to 1G cents, or even more,
for the seconds. We warned investors
against following theories like this. The
result is the realization of figures that can
not be called paying ones, unless the wrap
pers bring high figure. Such an event
appears exceedingly remote.
The sales Of the week were
Connecticut-Crop 80: 800 cases, 1Cs
to III cents.
Ohio-Crop 'Sl 400 cases, low grades,
at 81 to cents.

Leaf.
The philadelphia Market.
Seed Leaf-Dealers and packers are
very quiet, Especially in the handling of
old leaf; in fact, for the present the bulk
of the time of hackers is taken up in 1882
crop, of which large quantity of various
kinds have been packed by our city deal
ers nevertheless, a finer line of goods of
all grades would be hard to find than that
now held by dealers. Prices are moderate
SO that we look very shortly for - better
times"
Sumatra finds favor in I. small way,
while Havana continues to gradually in.
prove in ali grades which deserve attention
at full figures.
