and the cause are very wen understood
here. Probably not more than one
fourth of the ~ Ohio will appear this

the balance will 90 for shipping. Some
of the Zimmer's Spanish will be
shipped. but il will never be whitfield in
German pipes. The bulk of this stock
is in hands of large manufacturers, and
will be used in their trade.
The crop of 80 German was small,
and, with the 81, has almost entirely
disappeared from the field, sales OF 80
being stimulated by exceptional merit
in 81.
DANvtLLE, VA.-Prices have laen
well maintained although the receipts
are very large, the demand has kept well
UP with the supply. The prospects for
plants for the coming crops are good.
RlcHMoNp,NvA.-The tobacco a
ket the past week has shown an increase
in dark goods, and sales have been active
| and prices firm. Lugs have been bought
ur by the manufacturers. There Is no
change in bright wrappers and old filters
are scarce and higher.
ST. LOUIS, Mo.-The supply has not
been large and prices have held satlsfae-
tory. The stock of old tobacco is going
fast at prices satisfactory to holders.
| There is a prospect for an increase IN
| receipts the coming week.
BALTIMORE, MD.-Leaf tobacco is
now coming forward freely, and the
market continues active and firm,
| shippers taking readily all the good
grades offering. THERE'S very little
Ohio coming in, and we are without
| any sales to note during the week.
| Stock in factory's hands small.
GAINESVILLE, TENN.-Our receipts
| increase, being about 1000 hhds. for the
week the sales were 496 hhds. for the
week ending to-day. The market was
rather irregular and lower on the
poorer grades of leaf. We quote COM
mon lugs, at 81 to Al good lugs, at Al
10 81 common leaf, at 5 to 8; medium
leaf, at 81 to 8; good leaf, at 81 to 81 /;
fine leaf, at 10 to liz. Selections, none
| offering. With the large supply and
reduced demand for those qualities
which are most abundant in our crop,
which facts age beginning to be real
lied by shippers, it iseyident that prices
must recede until a point is reached
| that demands will be stimulated, and
export grades will move with a slow
and hating step until this point is
| reached.
Thi is the period when the Ely is
opped out to enliyen the scene. Where

some Spectator start a fly report ? 1t

EDGERPoS, Wis. The ware
louses at this point have been ex-
remedy busy this week receiving from
he growers, and the town wears a
lively appearance. Several buyers are
iding, taking contracts where they
AN do so at moderate figures, generally
| lower than previously paid.
The best crops held by farmers who
re anxious to sell have in a measure
wss4H picked up. leaving the poorer
;rades, which must find q market at
over prices. There is, however, a
;reat deal of gilt-edged tobacco remain
ag in first hands,-men who are able
o hold until they obtain their price.
But there is no marked improvement

With filters excluded broad leaf at 5, 3

CONNECTICUT VALLEY.--The mar
ket remains vely quiet. A goodly
lumber of dealers have been drag
sing through the mud searching for
UGH stray lots as can be secured at
he present low figures. When they
an find a farmer punched for money
hey offer him g or &c per pound for his
rop, not oyer one-half its real value,
md too often they succeed in getting the
;rop by persistently d~ecerying its value.
But, oh, how speedily the tune is changed
when they own it There is no sense
II propriety in the farmer selling his
;rops at fller prices. In Pennsylvania
he crop has nearly all passed out of the
,rowers' hands.
1t is not probable that any advance in
price will be offered by the buyers at
present, as it is probable that more
han one-half the crop of 1882 is sold,
perhaps even three-ffths Of it. And
now the dealer or packer is interested
IN keeping up the price, or will be a
o as the grower, who is holding for
the sweat, is ready to sell. Those who
ave good crops viii do well to insist On
fair price, but those holding poor lots
must of course see the propriety of
closing out upon reasonable offers.
Sales have been here and there OF
small lots. AT Hinsdale, N. H., S. ..

Havana at 74c through. Our correspond
