The Tobacco Journal gives the following
editorial review OF the market for the week
New Pennsylvania came out strong this
week; 1t stole march on the new state
driving II in the back ground and trumpetlng
Justify. The Estate seed people evidently
were asleep; this time OF the year very often
settles the fate of a new crop OF leaf; that
which sells most now is popularity believed
to be the best tobacco that which remains
undisturbed easily incurs reputation in
which the words "Dlack eye are often dis
agreeably heard. Holders OF new estate"
should be careful OF what they are doing.
There we're numerous buyers in the market
for the past two weeks, new samples have
been displayed in masses, and now the
brokers tiit through the market boasting of
sales of over 500 cases otnew ennsylvania at
l6 to Is cents for medium and fine, figures
comparatively excellent and keeping omln-
ously quiet about the state Where are the
subtle minds and stalwsrt pocketboOks that
hold the 'S5 New York? Are they waiting
for a rise in the market? If so, they had
better rise and view the mass of useful new
tobacco offered. True enough their tobacco
at present shows all the traits OF fully
matured and finely cultivated plant but in
other new crops similar stock exists, and
when such is sold-well, this is running into
a sermon. Realism governs prices in the leaf
market when veryOody buys Pennsylvania
everybody wants Pennsylvania when every
body speaks i'll of a crop everybody thinks
Ill OF and 1t STAYS away. The fact remains that
new Pennsylvania beats the new state
this week and the fact is, that the holders OF
state call the alleged sales OF new Pennsyl-
vsnia so much moonshine.
psckiDgs OF 81, 50 and 'S3 Pennsylvania, as
well as Connecticut, are being eNCayated
daily, much to the surprise OF holders of
new tobaccos, who have for some time past
believed old tobaccos to have been nearly
wiped out

a decided falling of in the sales and the de-

The Tobacco Leaf says: "The week s
business has been good one, Jobbers in
the market were the principal takers, and
new goods are receiving attention /; in fact
they are the only tobaccos that can now be
had to any extent We still hear of some
sales OF ISL Pennsylvania, notwithstanding
it was thought some time ago that there was
no more OF IL. The parcels now being sold
are small, of course, aud the stock from
which they are taken has been gathered to-
gether from anything found in the country,
few cases at a time. The disturbance in the
cigar trade has curtailed manufacturers
/ purchases, but ii is known that as soon as the
present trouble is over they will come into
the market, and, therefore, jobbers have less
hesitancy in investing than they would
| otherwise have. Manufacturers are reported
to have little stock on hand"
