cents will be the highest figure that will
ever be paid for this stock. Sumatra will
prevent any further rise in price.

| In old tobaocos we note sales of about
800 cases of 80 and 81 tobacc)s, ut from

market is exceedingly Hat ; in fact, it has
come to q standstill. The cheapness Of
the 81 and 'S2 Pennsylvania coupled with
the apparent success of the 'S3 Pennsyl
vania, has caused the buyers TO cast tho 'S3
aside, except when il is offered at bar
gain. There was report that 500 cases
Of SO Pennsylvania had been sold Mt 81
