While December is traditionally a.

are that there will not be the falling off
in demand this year that generally char

buyers.
Havana Considering the limited
stock on hand, trading has been active,
and the aggregate number of bales sold

yesterday, says: "Our market is active.
Remedies are almost all sold, and within
a week or so there will not be sprig
left. Prices for 1st, IS to Soc; -, so to
55c; 70 and 45 cents being the figures for

Of good Vueltas there is not much left,
and tobacco of good body is held at very
high prices. Of Partidos there are still
some stocks, but the wrappery goods are
held high"
About 1000 bales of Havana arrived in

considerable business will be done before

Those riding are keeping very quiet
and aim to create as little excitement as
possible, but they are after the tobacco
and are getting good deal of it. Sew
eral dealers are in the state from the
east, and they want goodly share of the
'99 crop. As fast as one man quits the
field another takes his place, keeping the
demand good. Prices are fully as high
as at any time this fall and bid fair to
remain high, as over 60 per cent of the
crop is bought and many of the buyers
have just begun buying.
