Local Tobacco Market.
The past week ike that which imme-
diately preceded IL, has been quite busy
one in tobacco circles. Sampliug the 5:
packings has been continued IN the pack
ing houses and the result, without eXcep
tion, has been reported very satisfactory
Jobbers and manufacturers, always wide
awake to their interests. have kept them
selves well posted as to the quality of the
crop, and have been prompt To invest IN
it. From 200 TO 500 cases of 80 have
changed hands during the month. Al
over 900 cases of the same crop changed
hands the week preceding, and, as the
knowing ones have been picking it up fol
several weeks past, n very big hole ha'
been made in it, and packers are sauguine
that the last case can be disposed of at a
fair profit. Several hundred cases of 81
leaf bave also been marketed, and 1t S now
held in better esteem than it was any time
since it was sampled a year ago. Some
small sales of the 80 crop have also been
made, sufficient to swell the weeks trans
actions to nearly 1000 cases.
There is little to add TO what was said
last week concerning the crop pOi So The
recent frost which nipped some of the
paintings 10 the lowlands, did not do
nearly 80 much damage in Lancaster
county as was at first feared. The cold
wave was followed by warm one, which
has continued until the present time, Civ
ing the late paintings a chance to mature.
Certainly not one tenth aud probably not
one twentieth OF the crop OF this county
remains uncut, and it will be very sudden
frost indeed hat will prevent the wide
awake farmer from safely housing this
small remnant Of a very satisfactory crop.
Our advices are to the effect that the
early cut tobacco is curing very nicely and
the late cut not quite SO well. On the
whole, Lancaster county growers AID hose
of Pennsylvania in general, may congratu.
,at) themselves on escaping the severe
hail storms and frosts that have devasta
ted other seed leaf districts.
