\ little Improvement was noticeable in !

| number of Cut-ot-tOwn buyers as we'll
as several large manufacturers visited
the market and looked at great deal and
bought comparatively little. The new
samples of Pennsylvania, Connecticut and
| Wisconsin Havana seed and llOusatunic &
were displayed uustiutIngly. The New
| York Havana seed is being kept in the
rear as yet, and only small portion has
been sampled 40 far. 1t must DO conceded
that the warm weather of the past few
| weeks benefited the tobacco in sweat con
81 ieratly, and the samples show, as n
whole, better grldc than was expected
earlier 10 the season. Ia absence OF any
bona file transactions of magnitude in now
goods, any definite opinion from the writer
as to the idividual merits Of any of the
new crops would De unfair az this stage
To give opinions coming from holders ct
this or that crop can have no weight what
ever, and, therefore, the buyers
themselves must tall back upon
their own judgement and experience. So
much is certain, and tbs is CLEANED from
a thorough inspection of representative
lots OF all of the stocks OF new tobacco now
offered for sale, that there exist but
small quantity of real good tobacco to-
bacCO which, out side OF gloss, can fully
compete with Sumatra. Aud such tobacco
can 10 found IN every crop. Holders Of

crop pay for it but such prices as WILL

r The beginning of fall shows strong evi
deuce on all sides of an increased demand
for every grade of manufactured tobacco,
especially tho brands OF hard tobacco
/, which by merit have become pOpularzed
IS and judging from the information received
:, from JooberS, who in turn receive their
} adyices from city and country Dealers a
!. continuation of the present demand will
n continue for some time. AS far as prices
j. are concerned, il is admitted that the bot
d tom has been reached until a decidedly
i. lower figure is acknowledged in raw
material, hence we quote figures steady.
Fine cuts have caught the fever, and
are having an improved demand and sale,
while smoking tobacco of graduated
j stock has been pushed TO the front in con-
3 siderable large orders. Cut and dry, as
= usual, receives its full share of stten-
+ tion.

The past week of business in cigar leaf
has been very encouraging. 1t is true trade
has not been heavy, nevertheless a pleas
, ant and encouraging trade has been done
/ in old as we'll as new leaf. The stock Of
g 'S3, SO far as quality and yielding is con.
l cerued, fills the bill. The difficulty is the
high price, especially of Havana Seed.
l Nothing can as yet can be shown in the
) Seed leaf trade as discouraging, but there
is much to cheer the holder. A proms-
ing future is admitted.
