bought In Lancaster county during the PAST
week-just how much will never be known,
but the number of buyers in the field and the
eagerness with which they are now purchas-
ing; betokens that the entire crop will be |
lifted within few weeks and at better prices |
than ruled earlier in the season. |
The deliveries, too have been very large
several OF the warehouses having received
from 100, 900 to 10000 pounds each, during
the week. AS rule, both buyers and sellers
are averse to giving details of their trsnsac-
tions, or Of prices paid and received. Our
correspondents, however, continue to report
sufficient number OF sales to give some
idea of the ruling prices; though in truth 1t
il almost as difficult to tell what q horse Is
worth as to tell what tobacco is worth.

Mr.. Theo f. Hoar, of Leacock, calls oul
attention to an error in the figures OF his salt
| of tobacco. The reported sale was I, 2, 2, fol
| one lot OF Havana and TO- 2, 2, for another o
| the same. 1t was his seed leaf that Mr.. Hoal
| sold at the above figures. He has not ye
| sold his Havana seed.
The sales of old tobacco Cs3-'si) amounted
| to 200 Or 500 cases. Sales OF other crops may
| swell the total to 800 cases.
| The amount OF old tobacco in the Lancaster
| warehouses Is much less than is generally
| supposed.
| The New York Market
| From the u ). Tobacco journal.
The market has been moderately active
mainly in what is termed 'job lots.
Dealers have gradually adapted themselve
to the situation, and instead of relying upor
fortune in a new crop, buy odds and ends
farmers packings, speculators' accumula
tions, etc, and sell them oil at once or shortly
| in the market, with more or less profit TIL,
situation is an absolutely settled one. Their,
is a steady, if not growing demand for fine
| wrappers and total disinclining TOWARD
| common wrappers except at less thar
| tuct phase did not exist in the condition o
| the leaf trade. The attitude of the packer:
toward the 'S5 crop is sound and CONNER
cial. Binders and good filters will be SURE
of sale, while wrappers, no matter how fine
they may be in appearance now, carry IL
| themselves the usual risk consequently tht
| purchases that are being made now are made
on this basis and legitimate profits will bt
the result. And by this time the Leaf trad,
| OF New York city has made up its mind tina
| agitation of al increase in lnfv m Snma
| ira will only disturb the now legitimate stat,
| OF the leaf market, and with the exception o
few professional friends of farmers tn,
dealers in leaf in the New York marke
rather see low than high duty on Suma
ira Quite speculative movement is going
on in filters which are getting very scarce
The demand for export goods continues, bu
unless better prices are offered, holders o
suitable tobacco will not sell. The 1884 Wis
consin, which has been steadily declining II
price since last tall, seems to have reached
level at last, and better inquiry for the stool
exists now. 1t is beginning to be loved 10
its - binder" virtues. Lots containing
sufficiency OF such, average from II TO /
cents Such tObaccos were held last summe
and fall at Is to % cents.
The quotations are
| Fine wrappers, % to 40 cents.
Low wrappers, s to Is cents
Good 10 fine binders, seconds, etc, II to 2
cents
Low binders, to cents.
Flimsy filters, 6 to cents
Coarse, thick filters, 10 to II cents.
Sumatra.-The difficulty OF withdrawn,
goods from bond that are still entitled to
duty Of 35 cents, and the difficulty in adj just
ing the demand for fine goods to an increase,
figure on account OF the fixed duty of rs cents
retards operations considerably, and busines
was greatly restricted this week resulting il
sales reaching about l50 bales Prices, sL3
