There was a good demand this week Tor
ali types OF tobacco excepting low grades
common filters. Early in the season these
filters sold from 81 TO s. 20 W have grad
ually come down, until now they can be
had at 81 TO 81 %, decline OF lOD per
cent. Bremen filters were decidedly more
active, and may be quoted from SOC. 10
dollar higher. Better grades OF shipping
leaf which was exceedingly scarce. also
attracted more attention, ana sold at
slight advance The demand for real fine
black wrappers we have never seen bet
ter. The several piles that sold from 81

IS good tobacco, appeared rather hlgh.
Dark, heavy bodied snuffer Tugs were at

grades were much disappointed al 50 few
being offered, but any in desirable order
were taken at prices fully as high as last

marked than this week. manufacturers
