larry lower prices for each, were the lead
ing features this week.
Burlcys. The offerings consisted mostly
Of low grade red trash and filters with ;
very irregular market throughout the weel
for such. prices Yesterday being the lowest
and only FOR strictly sweet hOesheads were
prices up 10 my revised quotations. For thu
better grades the demand was good. with Z
small assortment throughout the week
Ten hOgsheads Of city factOry-dricd red e
colory good bodied sweet good medium e
select filters sold al Zoe. 10 23t5c., or aver
age Of $lj.l3 per 100, showed very full
prices, although all were nicely handled
and class Of filters quite scarce now
tOiOry 70 bright cutting Tugs and leaf in
good demand but scarce. All grades Of RED
smokers dull. Reflections Of low grades
heavy.
or the 1889 crop Il hogsheads were offered
continuing to show leafness. some fine e
good color but all very light in texture. and
some too soft. All offered met with ready
sales. Bright very mixed trash and hugs
sold at &c. 10 &C.; cutting and filler leaf, red
and colory mixtd, We. TO I2Xc.. with
Bright red leaf in dry order, at l6c. Holders
Of new crop are represented M being very
much disinclned 20 ship to market at pres
ent. looking for higher prices, while the
! leading manufacturers are now working
much lighter, and likely TO be doing 80 I'M
til after the turn Of the wear, before which
time we will no doubt have receipts from
the usual number of small holders whose
necessities compel them 10 sell before
Christmas. The lower prices Of old stock
AZ present is somewhat Of factor in keep
ing down ANYTHING ike "boom' in prices
Of 1889 crop. as manufacturers will natur-
lilly continue TO run on old as long as il can
be had on the present basis in preference to
new. Tennessee burleys are showing good
color this year.
Dtyk-Ofcrngs larger and mostly Of
the same undesirable character With which
our market has been loaded all through the
season. with apparently no end to the sup
ply 0f such, the lowest grades being pariic-
ularly dull. Although 1000 hogsheads are
reported a. have been sold or shipped late
v from New York for Spain. such has had
no effect here, nor likely to have so long a.
supplies are so large at the seabOsrd and
only lit for the same market. What little
animation there was in the Antwerp
market lately had the life knocked out Of II
by the forced sale at auction there Of hun
ircds Of hOgshead- at ruinOus prices 10 the
holders now wisely retired from business.
However it will be a repetition Of the old
story, ~ one tobacco man dies another b0bs
up serenely and takes his place; while san
suine persons from the GAINESVILLE district
are reported as flying around and tearing
their hair in some Of the adjacent cOantie,
Of Kentucky because they cannot get more
rrOps 10 pay for at o.. round, while filler
strips are selling in England at two pence
haltpenny and three pence. and over 10000
