Features Of the Local and Distant Mar.
kets the Past Week.
There was not much doing in the local
tobacco market the past week. The sales
were about 300 cases, In small lots. The
storm Of last week did some damage 20 the
growing tobacco, but not az much az at
first supposed.
New York Market.
From the u. =. Tobacco Journal.
Considering the season the market has
been quite active for the past week. In
q,iiry for the new leaf has become quito
frequent, particularly so for the lower
grades for export purposes Several hum
dred cascsof'Ss Pennsylvania have changed
hands, their destiny being no doubt a
foreign market. But old seed Is moving
also at lively rate 500 cases 's7 wiscon-
sin were disposed of, $50 cases of 's7 Penn
sylvania broad leaf, some 400 cases Of Onon-
daga, and about $50 cases New England
tobacco. In the aggregate the sales of seed
leaf for the week reached over 900 cases.
The demand for Snmatra continues like
wise active. Manufacturers and jobbers
seem Ia have come alike to the conclusion
that the old Sufnatra will do yet for
awhile, especially as II sells 80 much
cheaper than the new. At the latest
inscription which was held on the
18th inst.--onc can hardly keep track Of
their number, rs they occur now 80 fire.
quently and at such short intervals some
parcels of known brands were bid i'm by
American buyers at from 3.25 to- 40 H., or
for Sl.3O to $l.3Sl In American money. Add
Is cents duty and s2.25 and S2.35 would be
a very low price to buy those goods here.
The largest quantity Of the new Sumatra
has arrived during tho past week. II
moved to the amount of 45O bales.
Havana Is enjoying the steady favor OF
the trade. Sales about ], 200 bales. Very
little kick about prices now.
From the Tobacco Leaf
The market this week does not show M
as briskly as was expected. Nevertheless
some new Onondaga, Wisconsin and Penn
sylvania broad leaf found buyers In our
market, and also others from out of town.
In regard TO old goods a little of all kinds
Is selling, but 'S7 Pennsylvania seed leaI
IL selling in large lots to manufacturers
out of town. We think II will not be very
long before this tobacco will be entirely
lfted from the market. The 'SS Pennsyl-
vania Havana is showing up finely, and II
Will not be long before largo lots are sold

From the Tobacco Leaf.
A decided improvement is noticeable IL
the demand for all grades of leaf suitabl,
for cigars. Old is in good demand, Will,
the 'Ss crop now and then finds buyers
subject TO approval when new samples ar,
drawn. II Is true, business IN not exten
sive, but this Is owing to the difficulty o
not finding the stock needed in every lea
house, causing buyers TO make more call
and their distributions more general. Tn
