q, u,sbsssd Demand for the Old Lancaster
S,Ouutv Leaf

county Leaf.
The demand for old Lancaster county to-
bacco continues undated aud about 500
cases Of 1882 and 1888 leai went to Eastern
markets during the past week. The prices
paid were not high, as most OF the stock was
Intended to be used as filters aud binders
tor the better class of domestic cigars covered
with Sumatra wrappers II the holders OF
old leaf did not demand higher prices than
jobbers and manufacturers are willing to
pay, the warehouses here would soon be
emptied of their old stock.
We hear also of the sale of $50 cases OF 's5
Havana seed grown in this county. The
sampling of thiscrop has not yet fairly begun,
but that part which has been sampled Is
turning out remarkably well--the colors
being of the right kind, the texture fine and
glossy, and the smoking quality quite supe-
rior. There il money in it for the holders.
The new crop under the influence OF glo-
rious summer weather, is growing finely and
we hear of but little complaint of insect dep.
relations. Some OF the early planted patches
foreseen calamity beiall it very large
and excellent crop OF tobacco will be har.
vested In this and adjoining counties. The
only complaint we have heard from dealers
is that two large a proportion of the crop is
seed leaf They say that the demand is for
very fine looking cigars, and that seed leaf
wrappers will not I'LL the bill, aud they VIII
have to be sold at filler and binder prices.
