New York Market.
Tobacco journal.
There has been a moderate sized boom
in new (lSS3) Havana seed during the
week. Not that any large packings were
| sold, but the business in 'S3 Havana seed
was fairly started by the salo of about
| | 200 casee, in lots OF about 100 To 200
| cases. Ii is an absolute impossibility TO
state which of the three new Havana seed
| crops 10 the market took the lead. Some
claimed the uousaEonic Havana seed was
| the greatest favorite, while others con
tended the most prominent was Wisconsin
or state. This much is ceTtaiu-that the
highest prices was paid for the Housatouic
100 cases Of which sold for 20 cents, 10 4
western jobber. The prices for 'S3 Wis
consn and state Havana seed are quoted
at % TO % cents, mostly for lots with one
fifth filters or about one half wrappers.
All this showshow our representations,
made 50 often during the past winter, have
become a reality. Havana seed at the
prices it is now being sold leaves hand
some margin in the sellers. Ii tho duty
ou Sumatra is not lowered, we predict
much higher figures for these goods later
on in the season. There are about SOC
cases OF new Pennsylvania Havana seed in
I the market. II is claimed that these goods
are not on sale just now, holders expect to
realizs-welI, heaven only knows how
much. The fact is, nothing handsOmer
has ever been placed in the seed leaf
market, and If Pennsylvania this year
comes up to her promise to grow nothing
but Havana seed, the rush OF buyers for II
will be, as bright light in the trade says,
appalling ~
= The sales Of old tobaccos were moderate,
Consisting in the main Of about 400 cases
OF So Peunsy ylvaDia, at from II TO 20 cents,
and about 500 cases OF New York state
Havana seed, some of the latter being
return shipments from Europe. The
, quotations for these goods were from q
to 2j cents, running as high as 55 cents fol
, selected wrappers. Some few transaction
in 80 and 81 Pennsylvania took place also
bnt the prices obtained were not reported
IL is quite difficult now to get bargains
in 80 and 81 Pennsylvania, holders having
become somewhat moro courageous II
, their demands since the manufacturer
evinced some desire to invest in thOsf
growths.
