ACTIVITY IN THE LOCAL MARKET.
The Crop OF g. Being Gobbled Up-PIenty OF
Buyers at Fair FigEses-Large
Deliveries.
The past week has been very busy one
in tobacco circles. Perhaps more tobacco
was bought, and certainly q great deal |
more was delivered at the city warehouses,
than during any previous week this sea-
son. Farmers have deemed it the part of |
wisdom to somewhat abate their demand |
for high prices, and dealers have cheerfully |
met them half way. Both parties seem to |
be disgusted with the dilly dallying Of |
Congress on the tax and tariff questions,
and to have come to the conclusion that |
Congress can neither make nor break them |
by its action, whether wise Or otherwise
and so the buyers and sellers have come
together and are having right pleasant
time of it, to their mutual benefit. Most
of the dealers appear to be after the best
quality Of goods they can find. For very
tine lots they pay as high as 20 to %
cents for wrappers, though the average
price is from 16 to 20, few sales of in
ferior goods being taken at from 10 to 16
for wrappers. They say they don't want
trash, and that large proportion of the
unsold crop will remain unsold unless the
farmers arc willing to take say 6
and 2, or at best 5 and 2 for
it. The farmers, on the other hand, are
| cheerful they say there is not an unusual
| amount of trash in the 'S2 crop, and they
confidently expect it to be lifted at fairly
remunerative prices before robins and blue
| birds come. Their view of the case seems
to be strengthened by careful compilations
| of the total amount of tobacco on hand in
the great tobacco markets OF the country.
The fOOtings in the western markets show
an aggregate of 81 29G hhds in 1888,
against % 1S4 hhd; in 1882, and in the
eastern markets As, 254 hhds in 1888 against
6S, 451 in 1SS2-thus showing that there arc
81, 600 hhds less on the market now than
there were year ago.
| The deliveries of 'S2 leaf have had the
effect of putting to work hundreds of to-
| bacco packers and handlers who have
been in enforced idienesS nearly all win
ter. The wages of these men are being
put into general circulation and will soon
materially help along other branches OF
trade that has been languishiDg for some
months past.
