THE NEW CROP LIFTED.
COSrISUED HEAVY LOCAL RECEIPTS
LEAF TOBACCO.
Very Little Doing in Old Tobacco, Which ls
Now Quite Scar ce-farmers, Talk of Re
ducing Their Acresge-Notes OF
the Other Leaf MarRet.

Iho Striking features Oi tne iihltStoi
market for the past week have been the CON
tinued heavy receipts OF new tobacco at the
warehouses, and the activity in the ware
houses in asserting and packing the leai
heretofore received. Many hundreds of men
are engaged in this work and 1t will be many
weeks before the packing is completed.
BUYERS are still riding the county in search
of new tobacco and are perhaps securing
enough to pay expenses, but the local crop Is
practically bought up, there being but little
of 1t remaining in the hands Of growers,
except in Manor and a few other sec
tions Of the county, where the growers
have held out for prices beyond the views
OF buyers. 1t was said by farmers
from all sections of the county, assem-
bled in the agricultural society's meeting,
Monday afternoon, that no former crop IN
this county had been so rapidly and so
cleanly bought up rs the present Ofcourse,
much that has been bought has not yet been
delivered and for two or three weeks to
come we NAV expect to see the country
teams heavily laden with the fragrant leaf,
moving through the streets and unloading al
the warehouses.
From those engaged in the packing of the
new crop we learn that II is turning out ad-
mirably; it is fine in quality and color, much
| better than any crop grown for years past
| 1t has more body in 1t and less damage than
| former crops 1t will prove more service
| able, because of its large proportion of wrap
pers, while those portions unfit for wrappers
| can all be utilized as filters, so that there
will be no waste. Packers are therefore IN
| great good humor, and justly look for rea-
| s)nable profits on their investments, aud
| thus make up for losses in former pur-
clases
| 1t is as yet impossible to make a very close
| guess as to the weight of the crop in this
| county, but it will not be very much above
| or below 1000 cases.
| There has not been much doing in old to-
bacCo the past week. Indeed all the old
| crops are very closely bought up, and IL is
| doubtless whether 1000 cases of marketable
| goods from ISL to iS>4 remain in this city,
and even the lss5 crop has been very closely
| taken.
Many farmers talk of quitting tobacco cul-
| ture, while others declare their intention OF
materially reducing the acreage devoted to
| the weed the coming season. In view OF the
| present active demand for cigar leat and the
confessed short supply, it may be well for
| farmers to go slow in reducing their acreage.
| Even if the prices realized for this years and
| last years crops were not so high as expect
| ed, the remuneration was better than that re-
| ceived for wheat, potatoes, fruit and dairy
products. Better stick to tobacco than en-
| gage in the culture OF other crops that do not
| pay as well.
