U. s. Tobacco Journal.
Seed Leaf-We were kindly reminded
severa! times this week that sundry sales
Of 80 crops had been effected, altogether
on the sly and in the most clandestine
manner and that if We were to take the
hint, follow the scent and put thumb
screws upon the brokers concerned in these
sales, we would find out all about it and
be enabled to dish up to our readers
most palatable array of sales, with an ex-
hibition of some stunningly big prices as .
dessert. With the consciousness of pos
sessing the most intimate acquaintance OF
the state of the market, We never did
stake any stock" in reports OF great sales
of leaf tobacco made on "the sly" and
behind the barricades of an impenetrable
secrecy. People who have large lots to
sell in our market can but in an infinitesi-
nalIy small number OF cases dispose of it
without probably tho aid, but not with
out the knowledge, of ono or many
brokers. Furthermore, the repuea-
ton of leaf house, outside Of its general
character and financial ability, is based
upon the extent of its sales during the
year. A firm that sells great deal. is
considered (and not without justiiication)
one that sells cheap. The houses that con-
tinually hint at having made some OK
tremely large sales are tho humbugs OF
the trade. Tho long and short Of it is,
business is terribly dull in seed leaf in the
New York market. There were several
large manufacturers in the market who
bOu Ought-Sumatra. One of them said tO
us: II came down to buy 'S2 Pa. 1t il
nice stock. They began to ask me q
cents and even 90 ccnts for what they cal
the best. took Sumatva."
"But suppOsing the new Sumatra turns
out poor and high in price -
"We'll wait till it does"
And that's what they will all do. The
manufacturers, and also the jobbers can't
be doomed into making purchases by
what "might" be. They want to Sc.
the now Sumatra turn out badly, and
stand high in price. They don't want to
hear anything about it. ts.t.
| Several parcels Of new Sumatra have
arrived. Here is our opinion about that
which We saw. 1t is rs good rs any thai
ever came to this country. BY saying
" gOOd'' we mean that there is light AMI
flimsy stock, and dark and sound stOcl
also. But rs the majority of it is no
bad, the denomination "gOod' is il
place. AS to the prices that will be asket
for it, nothing definite can be said. 1t al
depends upon the number OF bales tha
arrive here up to the first OF July. IT tn
number is small, 90 and 90 cents for gOOt
'S2 Pa, will be reasonable, and all Othe
crops will sell proportionately, with prof
to first investors.
