Seed Leaf-This is what we said last
week & It can reasonably be expected
that the next and some of the following
weeks will be characterized by an i'm
prOyement, at least rs far as the number
of buyers and the number of transactions
are concerned" All this came true. The
number of prospective buyers was large,
and the sales proved the largest of any
| week this year. We also said last week :
"We advise holders to unload ut the low
est price possible, now that an opportunity
of, at least, making sales will be offered"
This advice seems to have been followed
with success. AS far as 81 Pennsylvania
is concerned. several holders took advant-
age Of the temporary desire Of people who
| wanted to invest, and unloaded in large
lots; To g figures is an absolute impos.
sibility. Part of one of the finest pack
| ings held here was sold to a city manufac-
turer. This packing was held last fall at
% cents, and could not then be bought
for any less. The price paid for it now is
unknown, all parties to the transaction
preserving the strictest secresy. Next
| week a heavy business will undoubtedly
| be done.

| The Local Tobacco Market.
| Tie crop of 'S2 has been pretty well
picked up 10y the dealers, several of whom
have ceased purchasing, finished packing
and closed their warehouses. Others are
still in the field buying such lots as they
can find, generally at prices so low that
neither the bnycr nor seller are willing to
have them published. In many of the
best tobacco growing districts of the
county it is almost impossible to find a
crop remaining in the hands of tho farmer.
| We learn, however, that in the lower end
| of Manor township about OnG-fOurth of
tho crop remains unsold, and in q few
other sections nearly the same proportion.
Some Of this is held by the farmers for a
rise, and some of it is SO badly damaged
as to DO undesirable to purchasers.
| There continues to be an active demand
for old tobacco, and during the past week
| several hundred cases have been sold by
the city and county dealers. Among these
was one lot of 1873 cases ESQ sold private.
Skiles IL Frey sold so cases of the same
crop, Mr.. Rine sold 1913 cases, Diller &
Rutter 100, and there were a number of
smaller sales of so and 'S1.
| The young plants are more backward
this year than formerly, though where
they have been properly protected they
have 4 healthy appearance, and will be
large enough by the time the farmers are
ready to set them out, which will not be
for some weeks yet. Meantime the ground
| is being prepared for them. In good
| many instances where the buds were
exposed the plants have suffered from the
| flea.
