New YORK, April 26, '99.

Complaints of quiet business are quite
general in the domestic leaf market this
week. Old filters are being looked for
and several sales were made, but it is
difficult for buyers and sellers to agree
on prices, and deals are not put through
as easily as they were about the first of
the month Probably the largest tran
saction during the week past was the
sale of 500cs of new Onondagas, running
bought from packers samples, and'which
brought 16c Other sales reported were:
2OOcs of '97 Pennsylvania Broad leaf
running 1219c; 160cs 97 Wisconsin, run
ming, 12c; 150cs 90 Wisconsin, 12c; 150cs

Havana The prices being paid for
green tobacco in Cuba make those asked
here for old tobacco look dirt cheap by
comparison, and those who keep posted
on market conditions and have not sufi-
cient supplies to tide them over until the
next crop is ready for use, are losing no
time in getting aboard. As result,
transactions are numerous, and some OF
them are OF considerable magnitude.
About 400 bales of Remedies changed
hands at prices ranging from 75 to CSC
for first caps, and 80 to 65c for seconds.

Still the note of preparation is heard
all through the valley, and, from now,
really about the first week that any farm
could be done, until the crop is
safely housed at the end of the season,
work, work is to be the order of the day.
1t is very late in the season to hope to
get extra early plants, as the seed beds
are nearly two weeks later than usual.
But with extra care and constant atten-
ton the plants can be hastened consider
ably, and we feel sure that every effort
will be made to secure as early a stand
as is possible under the existing circum-
stances. Growers should be careful not
to burn the leaves by too strong ferti
lization. Better feed oftener. If beds
are large, one man may we'll devote his
whole time to this part of the business
of watering and fertilizing the young
plants. Better do this than to depend
upon buying plants. Then by careful,
painstaking work one may be enabled to
make up for the late season. We now
have warm, comfortabl air, and nature.

We do not expect to hear of many
sales at present, as really there is so
little to be sold. Those who are holding
their crops feel strong expectations of q

dent writes as follows: Zone crop of '97

New YORK April 20, '99.

The market this week shows encour-
aging signs of recovery. The bulk of
transactions was larger than for many
weeks past, aggregating about $500 boxes
of domestic leaf. The principal sales
were in old filler stock, which moved off
in hundred-case lots; '97 Pennsylvania,
Zimmer's and old Wisconsin were the
favorite stocks dealt in. But Onondaga,
the New England leaf and Wisconsin
binders had also lively call. The only
complaint heard during the week was
that the goods did not bring profitable
enough prices.
The Havana market continues in its
brisk condition. The late new importa-
tions are selling as'fast as they pass the
Appraisers Department. Prices are
naturally stiff. The sales aggregated
about 1900 bales.
The Sumatra market, however, re-
mains rather dull. The types of the new
Sumatra are still being subjected to ex-
animation, but few sales have SO far
been made, and none of any consequence.
Nor is the old stock on hand moving any
faster. Sales are still limited to small
quantities and for immediate needs

Lancaster.
LANCASTER New ERA, April %, '99.

The market developed considerable
strength last week in spite of the fearful
shaking up it got through the counter
feiting developments. The latter, by
the way, are an unending theme of con-
versation wherever one goes Men do
not seem to tire of talking about the de-
velopments that have turned up. They
can hardly believe that SO much rascality
can have been going on among them for
a year and no one ever the wiser of it.
All in all, the Jacobs-Kendig case ex-
ceeds anything of the kind ever before
known in this country in the magnificent
proportions striven after and which were
partially crowned with success. In some
sense it has cleared the trade atmosphere
and small cigar manufacturers will once
more be able to sell some cigars and
make some money. The sales reporte to
us were 40 cases by I'll. Ell. Miller; @. Ell.
Welchans & Co., 135cs; r. K. Schnader
& Son 240cs; M. M. Fry 100cs; Weisman
& Swope 4Ocs; Isaac Weaver 1O0cs, and
Tobias Hershey 300cs, total of 95Ocs.
For the corresponding week of last year
175cs were sold.
The weather has become very warm,
80 degrees during the day, although the
nights, so far, have been quite cool in
comparison. With such a temperature
the plants will come along rapidly and in
the end may make amends for the back
wardness OF the season.
There is still some selling of last years
Havana seed and of the few lots of seed
leaf that remain in growers hands.
