The New York Market.
From the U. 3. Tobacco Journal.
The Fourth OF July week is generally
considered not 10 be very glorious one
for the wholesale business except for the
frecracker establishments. Nevertheless
the leaf market was not ~ indolent as II
might have been. Old goods having be-
como almost rarity, buyers have to take
new ones AT this early season. packing
of'ss Connecticut seed leaf Of 100 cases was
sold at 2Ic. Zook's Pennsylvania Havana
seed packing was sold to philadelphia
house at 2sc. And several lots of
'ss Onondaga wrappers were sold at 25c
But the most extensive enquiry was for
export goods. The high prices at which
Sumatra is bid In mt the inscriptions seem
to have induced even some Of the European
regies to replace Sumatra with our much
cheaper seed leaf, and though q vast guam
tity of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio and
state seed was bought exclusively for ex-
port, 10 would appear from the researches
made in our market that still greater guam
titles are required. Meanwhile the bidding
remains as lively at Amsterdam as If there
were no other cigar leaf to be had. Prices

the Dutchmen seemingly taking delight
in desecrating our glorious Fourth with an
inscription. The demand in our market IL
principally for the extreme light brands in
the new goods Sales for the week about
$50 bales, new and old combined.
In Havana tobacco business remains
active. Sales for the week 800 bales. The
holders of the 'ss stock are gradually pre-
pairing their customers for "A substantial
advance, as there seems to be no doubt any
more about the spoiled quality of the now
Vuelta crop. There will be plenty Of new
Havana but very little of Vueltas suitable
for our market.

siderable new was sold. All kinds were

The Crop In Wisconsin,.
The weather of the week has been
decidedly favorable to fields already
planted, near Edgcrton and vicinity, Wis
consln, which are coming forward very
| rapidly. There Is, however, considerable
| ground not vet set, and the absence of rain
Is delaying this work, so that the belated
| growers arc becoming somewhat anxious.
| IL is seldom, If ever, that early-set tobacco
| looked more promising ut this time of the
| year or had better or more even stand i'm
the fields. The damage from cut worms OF
! other pests is much less than for many
| years past. Altogether the outlook for the
| new crop is most ilattering.
