The general quality of the breaks class
ed higher this week, but the order showed
greaQ deterioration, there being more
hogsheads opening In bad or doubtful
order than In past four weeks combined.
This condition was partly caused by the
reviews Of many former reflections, which
were i'm doubtful order when rejected m
previous months We have had three
weeks Of unusually hot weather for April.
which has brought the sweat suddenly
and early upon the-1obaccO. and increases
the appearance OF high order.
The market was active and very strong
on all leaf Of decided quality and use
fulness. and some of the prices paid for
German and Itanan tobacco looked I'M
reasonably high, but the sellers claim
that the proportion Of such In the crop
is small. Lugs are sull rather held
back from sale: the small quantity Of
fcrlng showed no change IN values
The loose tobacco market IS closed
for the season. The mercury continues
to run up 10 the nineties.

our market this week opened easier
on common and low medium leaf. But
prices quickly rallied and ranged upon
as high a plane as we have had this
year. particularly for good and fine leaf.

quantity 10 supply the demand, and sold

seemed 10 be rather more demand for
Tugs. with some little Improvement IN
price. The weather continues very hot,
and already the summer sweat seems 20
have commenced. The condition of the

there were still many hOgsheads N
doubtful or apparently unsafe keeping
