NEW YORK TOBACCO MARKET.
Sumatra Still King-Prices Ruling at q
Recent Leaf Sale.


Inquiries for new crops were quite lively
the past week, but packers do not seem in.
clined to dispose of those just now, says the
United States Tobacco journal. Buyers seem
particularly anxious to get hold of the new
Wisconsin, which. will apparently be the
favorite tobacco for, the coming season.
Such parcels as were disposed of were bring
ing from 13c to l5c. Filters are now selling
at every price, with Zimmers Spanish still
leading. Several hundred cases changed
hands the past week at remarkably high
figures.
The auction sale of y bales of Sumatra
on Tuesday last proved again that the Su-
matra is still king. Twenty-Five of the 70
bales were bid in at from 50 to q 25 a pound,
while the balance averaged 81 90. Consider
ing that that Sumatra was supposed to have
been damaged in some shape, that 1t was
handled rather roughly and consequently
injured in the soundness of the leaf to the
extent of several pounds, that the terms of
course for claims, the price paid for it fully
equals So per pound In the ordinary and
legitimate transaction. The 2S bales of
Havana disposed of at the same auction sale
averaged from 85c to 9Oc, an equally salts
factory result for the high value of last

ket the past week has been the heavy
purchases of charcoal irons by the NAL
leable syndicate. 1t is estimated that
these amount in the aggregate to 10000 tons.
Prices varied according to brands, but in
some cases it is certain low figures were
made. While charcoal irons have been in
over-supply for time, in consequence OF
slack business among the car works and
railroads, the forces to correct this are
already set in motion. In Alabama and Ten
nesSee a large number of the furnaces are
out of blast, and lately there has been
marked restriction of output in the Lake
Superior district The extensive forest fires
also in the region from which many of the
Lake Superior furnaces draw their charcoal
have destroyed a great deal of wood cut for
this purpose. In time this will also affect
the situation. In coke irons there has been
a strong disposition among consumers to
take hold for long scattered deliveries, and
this the furnaces have stubbornly resisted.
The agricultural implement men particu-
larly have been in the market about two
months in advance of their usual buying
time.
There is no change apparent in the general
situation, but a free ordering forward of
iron on contracts and numerous inquiries
for spot deliveries, lead to the conclusion
that consumption is gradually increasing
Statistics show a further large reduction of
stocks in April, and the same is believed to
be going on this month.

Wheat Trading Spasmodic Due Mainly to
the Weather and Crop Conditions
A Break From Top Prices in Corn
While Oats Were Active.

A Break From Top Prices in Corn
While Oats Were Active. .
CHICAGO-Wheat was nervous all day,
but ranged within narrow limits. The open
ing price was the lowest point reached, and
the fluctuations thereafter were from the
starting point to 11sc higher. July opened
at 81 0119@1 OF, and sold up to 81 025s, ranged
between 81 Oh and 81 0215 during the fore
noon, broke to 81 Olas, recovered to 81 02zs,
closing 1910 lower. The volume of busi-
ness transacted was not as large as yester-
day or the preceding days of the week. Trad
ing was spasmodic; at times showing some
animation and another ruling quiet and dull.
Weather and crop conditions gave more evil
dence of influencing the market. The firm
ness was due to reports of dry weather, bug
stories and export buying at the seaboard,
mostly, however, for deferred shipment;
while weaker cables, denials of any serious
damage to wheat by insects and reports Of
min in the Northwest and some sections of
the winter wheat belt caused the weakness
which existed at one time. The rains were
reported in Minnesota and Dakota and little
in Michigan. Predictions in Kansas and Ne
braska: The report of the damage to wheat
by insects were received from Kansas. The
late rally to the highest point of the day was
due to cablegrams from Paris that the mar
ket advanced 80 centimes after the official
closing because of larger buying for Hunga-
rian account. Frost was predicted in Iowa
and Wisconsin tonight. Pardridge covered
showed weakness. 1t looked very much as
though leaders on the bear side were doing
a little selling.
The corn crowd was disposed to hammer
the market at the outset, but all of the offer
ingS were quickly taken and values moved
up in sympathy with wheat. The announce
ment of 500 cars as to-morrow's receipts
caused break from top prices, but SYM
pathy with wheat and provisions again
helped prices up. July opened at 581S@58Lc,
sold up to 59Zc, off to 5S3Ic and closing at
5sIc.
Oats were active, unsettled, with a higher
range of values, and especially for the new
crop futures-Augusta and September-which
were bought ON drouth stories from the
Northwest and reports of bugs in the South
west.
The feature of the provision market was
the limited offerings and the good demand
for the product by leading local houses.
Armour's name was given by several
brokers as their principal in purchases of
considerable lines of pork. Cudahy was
buyer of July pork on weak spot at the
opening and was a seller for September
later in the day. There was good demand
all day for lard and ribs. The close shows
an advance of 1215c in the value of July
pork, 715c in lard and 10c in ribs, compared
with yesterdays final figures.
The leading features ranged as follows, as
corrected by John NJ. Oakley & Co., 45 Sixth
street, members of the Chicago Board of
Trade:
