The New York Market Improving. while
Local business II Dull.
The local tobacco market for the past
week was duh. only few hundred cases
of old tobacco were sold In small lots 10
cigxrmakers.
A few small packings Of the 1888 crop
were sold during the week to New York
dealers on private terms, some OF which
was for export.
The freshets ruined the growing tobacco
In the islands on the Susquehanna In l-y-
coming, Clinton and other counties In
Central PENNSYLVANIA and in the fats in
New York state. Lancaster county tobacco
that escaped the flood looks well.
New York Market.
From the 4. =. Tobacco Journais
The market the past week may he consid-
cred to have bcen fairly active. Old goods
are moving of rapidly and a. rapidly the
inquiries for the new goods are increasing.
There are hardly any choice lots of old
goods left to make any fair sized selections
from. The scattering sales amount TO
l,2oO cases, and we predict an early sale Of
the available wrappers of the new crops.
Another inscription Of = few thousand
bales of Sumatra took place at Amsterdam
on Thursday, but II IL hard to keep track
ofthem now. The changed policy of the
Dutch Maatschappijen In regard to the In
ScTlptlOnS SetUo tO WOTh uke " cubTI1 uuu
our American buyers are roped In Just as
chariningly as any un1ispicious hy has
ever been drawn into the web by the most
mischievous spider. The overwhelming
goes on just ~ Justify as ever, but the dan
ger threatens much less from the over-bid
ding. than from the overbuying. Al the
rate buying IL going on now we will i'm
port Mt least 10000 bales and such a guam
tity at unprecedentedly high prices must
surely become drug In the market.
Meanwhile the old stock ON hand IL selling
off quite smoothly. Sales for the week 800
bales.
The Havana market remains I'm n good,
healthy condition. Over 900 bales were
disposed Of. Nobody will ever repent of
laying In a good substantial stock of the
'Ss crop. The wrappers of this crop arc
becoming scarce already and the new crop
will hardly he fit to take its place. Though
plentiful the new crop is sure not To give
the satisfaction the crop of the last two
years did.
From the Tobacco Loaf.
There seems to be more tobacco selling
the past week than for some time. All
kinds were sold. New Onondaga sold TO
some extent, also Pennsylvania and Wis
consin. One thing IN certain, there will he
more demand for export than there has
been for many years. Thousands Of cases
have been sold for export already Of new
tobacco. This looks well for good trade.
The sales Of Sumatra reported are $50
bales, at sl.25 to Sl.a0. The new tobacco
has been tho recipient OF much attention,
and several sales were made.
1000 bales of Havana were sold at Gsc 10
Sl.l2. The higher grades of goods are being
more sought after, and prices satisfactory
TO sellers are being obtained.

The Philadelphia Market.
From the Tobacco Leaf
Handlers of leaf suitable for cigar pur-
poses would be quite busy IL they could MI
the requirements of seekers, but the stock
is not here, nor anywhere else, in any
desirable quantity. This has become such
an incontrovertible fact that the examina-
tion of packers samples of the 'sS crop has
become quite general, and some purchases
are made subject to approval by Inspectors
samples Prices are held firm, but not
high.
New Sumatra is selling, hut old has the
preference.
Havana moves OFT steadily at full figures.
