The New YORK. Market.
From the L. :. Tobacco Journal
A steady but not brisk market Is tu he
recorded this week. Though good deal Of
inspection OF new leaf has been going on
city manufacturers who appeared in the
market in numbers, tho transfers hardly
range above :, 500 cases, about one-half of
which were new t0haccoS New York stste
being in the majority. Dealers are a little
impatient about this, after all, temporary con-
traction, forgetting that tor several years past
weeks transaction numbering 800 cases
would have been hailed with dell ght There
is much gnsshing Of teeth IN the market in
packers quarters at the operations in Sc to-
bsccos now going on in the HuuSatOnic val
| ley and New York state. The majority OF
| New York packers are As yet inactive on 50
tohacros, but the adventurous ie~ buying up
crops al what seemingly are high figures, not
| saying anything about the doubtful Neraclty
| ofthe reports, acts like red tllG on a spir-
| tied bovine. 1t is CALLING CtCOurSe; but com.

inclination of competitors

ket, 5000 OF the 7.oy0 cases having passed

| has been sold. The quick disposal of these
| goods seems to have inspired some packers
| with the belief that they are warranted IN
| buying pell nell of the l>S6 crop, but the ma
| jorty show more Conservatism and are con-
| tent to hide their time. The l>S5 Wisconsin
| is selling, but at low prices compared with
| what the grow tn of that state brought two OF
three years ago, when il ranged from Is to

say, "Those were good times The ls>5
