Sew York Tobacco journal.
The market was couspicuousiy quiot
during the week. Except in regular
factories, tho manufacture of cigars in this
city is at stand still. Tho law prohibit
ing the manufacture Of cigars in tenement
houses has thrown over 10, 900 people into
idleucss, aud though a regulation OF the
system, under either favorable or ad-
verso court decision, will DO now but a
matter of short period OF time, 1t Affects
| tho market to no small degree.
The few out t-of.town buyers that were
present in our market purchased in small
| quantities only, making in the main selec
| tons from the 80 Pennsylvania. They
all agree that they found considerable
difficulty In securing from this crop suita-
BILE lots of really fine texture and quality
| but whatever they secured they paid
| high prices. They are loud in its praise.
| The picking up OF stray lots of 50 Wis.
conSin with It's accompanying hue ana
cry, continue 1t continues IN such con
spicuous way that we cannot help think
! ing that there Is colorod gontlcman IN
the fence. The hasty purchases of large
quantities OF 80 Wisconsin some months
ago by several manufacturers, at time
when tho best judges proclaimed this
stock as being not at oil what enthusiasts
pictured it, it is said to have yielded re-
| suits far from satisfactory and now It
seems Us il there is q prec oncerted move
ment in the market to ro sell this stock
| while its reputation still stands quite
| high. Bo this as il may, we don't wish
| 70 be- quoted rs making these statements
upon known facts Brokers report sales
| Of this tobacco for the week as having
reached 900 cases. Not being able 10
contradict, we embody this in our specih
| cation below. The balance OF tho trans
| actions was composed of nearly all the
kinds OF stock offered ia the market.
Sales of 3J to 80 cases were in tho ma
jOrity.
There was jump in Sumatra. The
apathy eyinced toward this stock for the
past two months suddenly gave way, and
sales reached over 500 bales. This Is duo
TO tho unavoidable coming scarcity OF hne
seed leaf, fact which we fOretold some
| time ago, which the uuconveTtablc pessi'
mists in the market now coucode, aud also
TO the ruling prices OF Sumatra, which,
compared to those quoted in foreign mar
kcts, must be called quite low.
We specify the sales OF the week rs
follows:
Pennsylvania Crop $500 cases r.
- to 10 cents for running 81 cents for
one lot of noted packing containing 10
| cases of filters.
Crop 'Sl-2OO cases :, 0 to II cents {;
filters, 6 to 9, cents.

tor all grades OF leaf at the present nom
ent, however, and there Is no gainsaying
the fact that good tobacco to day is q very

money has been made ous OF its growth
and too good demand for It still exists TO

| course this action on the part Of exporters
will tend 10 weaken home holders of this
leaf and may affecS prices somewhat
This tobacco can all find a market here at
profitable prices, even II that which was
brought for export remains here, and
holders of it need not fear. The 1882
Pennsylvania seems to have been less
inquired for this week. Many sales are
made, however, which through COM
pacciou entered into by the buyer and
seller are never reported. TIE 1881 20
'accos are being purchased cautiously,
ut little is sold every week, aud We
may yet 1.-Two to note that tho last case has
disappeared from the market

| Mr.. \. Z. Fougeray, tobacco Inspector
reports to the Tobacco Leaf as follows
The week just past has shown, in the
handling OF manufactured hard tobacco, q
lively and encouraging trade, with price,
Of nearly all grades very much advanced il
dgures, which now seem likely TO be fully
maintained. Quite number of new brands
OF first class manufactures have lately bser
offered in the market, which from appear
ance would indicate merit. They can and
must be acknowledged If fair trial is
only given.
Fine cuts are now beginning TO assume
a formidable position in the chewing in
terest. This, Of course, holds good only
with A No. stock.
Smoking tobacco still shows but little
improvement in demand. IL must be solo
before dealers will order. Prices as
general thing hold steady.
Cigars-Our leading manufacturers still
acknowledge full complement of orders
while prices remain steady aud favorable
for 4 No. stock,
= Snuff moves moderately in quantities
) sufficient to fill immediate orders.
Receipts for the week.-Mrs. bXs, TO- 90f
caddies, IL, 2l6 cases and 4l6 pals of fine
cut.
: Exported of manufactured tobacco--TC
West Indies, 703 lbs.
Seed Lsaf-Leaf suitable for cigar pur
poses holds steady and encouraging hand
While fine leaf is desirable, still inquiry
develops the fact that all grades are re'
ceiying full attention from the tTa1e anC
