4 letter dated Cincinnati. o., April -,
1896. received here this morning says.
"The tobacco leaf trade is n puzzle as
the conditions are such that 80 is hard
to forecast g.; but If l We're a manu-
facturer / would load up AZ present
values. as it has touched bottom, and
when the reaction sets I'm ii must adj
vance, as It has gone one way as far
as 70 is possible. No speculation on the
market limited buying in the country
by shippers. and my opinion IS that the
manufacturers are not carrying their
usual stocks 1t appears to me that ere
another crop is harvested there must be
an advance"

Offerings. as is common this time OF
the season, were only moderately large
this week. They were composed MALAY
Of Tugs and common and medium leaf.
Some fine tobaccos were sold, however,
and one lot in particular attracted much
attention, as II sold for the highest price
Of the season. Ii was bought at 81
and was truly a fine piece Of tobacco.
With this exception, no change IN prices
was noticeable.
Mr.. Alex. Harthnl reports the Louis
Vile Nky) tobacco market for the week
ending Saturday. April %. 1896, as tol-
lows:
Long continued dry weather, causing
very light receipts, led 10 offerings OF
new hurley. being drawn largely from
stock on hand this week. and 10 an IN
interesting and unsatisfactory market
10 the trade generally. The offerings
OF low grade hurley Tugs were the largest
during any week this season, with any
good 10 fine leaf rarity and nard to
find. With the presence Of several out
of-town speculative dealers. who were
all bent on getting colory and bright
trash, It advanced re. In addition 10
that some home trade manufacturers
took a fresh start on red and colory
hurley trash nllers. which, although
abundant. were quite active, and taken
at full prices. With tho exception OF
these two notable features. the markc;
was otherwise unchanged, and some
what lifeless where tobacco was In Neiy
soft OF dangerous condition. and hence all
such were disposed OF at prices about the
same as last week or two.
