The Lancaster, Pa, market is devoid
of all interesting features. The sales
for the week were about 700 cases,
principally of the go crop. This to-
bacco was taken in part by New
York buyers and in part went to Cali
fcrnia. A few small lots were also
taken by local manufacturers. On
the whole, therefore, while the market
is pronounced q dull one, reasonable
amount of business was transacted.
There is some sporadic buying of the
new crop, but thus far it has not
amounted to much. A buyer goes out
and buys three or half a dozen crops,
and then comes home again. Just why
they are proceeding i'm this half
hearted, scary way, they themselves
are unable to explain Should a
dozen or more buyers enter the field
at once, perhaps the rivalry would
create mutual encourag cement and lead
to a general lifting of the crop, but SO
far nothing of this kind has been de-
veloped and all the transactions are
carried on on limited scale, and at
prices that are disappointingly small.
1t is not thought that any really fine
crops have been bought SO far, and
more than Z and CENTS which so far
are the best prices, are looked for.

The United States Tobacco Journal
OF New York says that slight breeze
of activity waited through that market
the past week. Three hundred and
some odd boxes of Pennsylvania were
sold in "a lump at pretty stiff figure,
and other domestic leaf of al kinds to
the amount of a thousand cases. The
principal inquiry is now for little
Dutch, which has almost vanished. All
kinds of filler leaf are held at firm
prices, and out-of-town buyers who
were in the market complained of their
Inability to make profitable invest
ments. The Sumatra market re-
mained slow, though not altogether in
active. Small parcels are selling
steadily, and the prices obtained seem
to be satisfactory. But the market
during the week was most interested
in the outcome of the Havana classi-
tication cases. Some very bad blood
has been stirred UP by the contradic-
tory testimony as to what is suitable as
a cigar wrapper. In the meanwhile

The GAINESVILLE Leaf says that local
mar 1et conditions continue of rather
quiet nature, there being but little
done in any lire. Among the trans
actions are 40 cases '92 and so cases
'9J sold by j. L. & M. f. Greene; 80
cases Of old sold by Joseph Grundy;
100 cases of old, sold by F. S. Bains
and a few small lots sold by S. B.
HeddIes. Several buyers have been
riding from GAINESVILLE but they have
made no purchases of '97 that have
been reported. Many Of them are much
disappointed at the colOrs OF the hang
ing leaf They complain that there is
some white vein, notified colors and
thick leaf and they will not
buy until thorough examination
can be made. Then some buying will
be done. 1t is understood that few
crops of '97 have been contracted for
near Albany and Stoughton. Generally
speaking, everything IS very quiet.

the sale of Havana leaf is restricted
as most of it, desirable and urgently
needed for clear Havana cigars, has
been placed by the custom house Of
ficials, as it were, under an embargo.
Add to this the phenomenally high
prices asked for tobacco in Cuba that
is supposed to be Soon released from
the Wyler embargo, and the prospects
for our Havana business and clear
Havana cigar industry are anything
but encouraging.

TOBACCO TOPICS.
Stoughton and Other Markets Very
Quiet at Present.

Around Stoughton another dull week
in the tobacco market has just passed.
Choice lots of old goods are becoming
more scarce each week, and nothing
whatever is being done with the new
crop as it is yet too dry for inspec-
ton. A vast difference of opinion
exists as to the quality of the new
crop. H. T. Hanson has purchased
120 cases of stemning goods at to
6 IL from Thos. Juerson and a fine
packing of '96, consisting of As cases.

cases of SO which is turning out in
excellent shape. Julius Vetterlein Of
Philadelphia lis looking after his pack
ing in Stoughton and negotiating for
the purchase of several lots if salts
factory figures can be obtained. Henry

The Reporter of Edgerton reports
that the general condition of dizziness
still envelopes the tobacco markets of
the state. At no place is the trade in
cured leaf of sufficient magnitude to
appear entirely satisfactory. The only
transactions from first hands deserV-
ing of notice is the sale of 100cs '96
by Corcoran Bros. at 8 and &c, and
Aces by John Hyland at 10 and &c, to
Phil Bonn. The sale of two 25cs lots
by G.. l.. Culton and Pomeroy and
PeIton and 5Ocs by Geo. Rumrill COM
prise the transactions of the week that
have reached us. While there is no
buying of the new crop yet to speak of
nor any general movement in that di-
rection, there is niObling going on in
various sections. GAINESVILLE and Brod-
head buyers are making a few stray
Cling contracts, two of which were
those of Richard Ryan, 8 acres at q

lie in the bundle The shipment out

or about 625cs to all points for the
