In the matter of sales the market is,
of course, very quiet, as the bulk of the
crop that can be bought at rates salts
factory to the packers has been gathered
in. There will be occasional sales of
small lots, but those who have assorted
and packed their own goods are in no
great haste to sell, feeling sure of higher
prices prevailing later on.
Our correspondents write as follows:
Vernon, VT: The following sales to re-
port: r. A. Stebbins, La in bundle to
Everett; E. Ell. Ackley Ga in bundle at 10

Aside from an ordinary routine busi-
ness, the market retains rather dull as
pect Domestic leaf is moving only to
fill the gaps of Immediate wants. No
investments are made for future needs.
Small lots are sold of every type, but
there are no large transactions for large
supplies. And yet the desirable filler
stock of the market will be sorely needed
a few months hence. The '9S Zimmers
will have nothing like the '97 stock, and
as for the '9S Pennsylvania, one of the
most prominent and expert packers re-
marked the other day that 70 per cent of
it will have to be thrown away and will
cost 15c extra to clean the balance so
that it may be suitable for his wants.
The expectations of buyers, therefore,
for reduced prices will be sorely disap-
pointed. And they will not only not get
reduced prices, but not even clean and
sound and desirable filler stock. The
explanation of the slow movement of the
domestic filler market lies probably in
the fact that the extraordinary demand
for the filler leaf is being kept up. The
sales of Havana are only limited by the
thing offered in Havana seems to 60.
has been caused by the dissatisfaction
of the consumer with the cigrs offered
him for the year past. At any rate, the
market in Havana leaf is liveler than in
any other type. Over 1000 bales were
disposed of the past week and at pretty
stiff figures Remedies command from
S5c to 81 in bond and Vueltas from 81
upwards.
The Sumatra market remains quiet,
too. The forced sweat seems to bring
the new England leaf into greater de-
mand, and the Florida leaf appears to
have larger clientage, too. 1t is no
doubt owing to the exorbitant duty that
the consumption of Sumatra is not ex-
panding. 1t is about holding its own,
but moving off only in small quantities.
Sales for the week about 200 bales.-

LANCASTER New ERA. March 7, '99.

The conditions of the market do not
differ materially from those prevalent
week ago. There has been rather more
doing, but business is far from brisk, and
the general complaint continues. The
trade is at a loss to understand how the
cigar manufacturers continue to get
along without buying more tobacco, when
their output is so large. 1t is felt that
sooner or later these people will have to
come into the market and replenisn their
supplies. wher a more active trade is
looked for. The transactions of the
week SO far as they have been reported
to us, are 4Ocs sold by Walter S. Bare
and 80 sold and 553 bought by G. Ell.
Welchans & Co. For the corresponding
week of last year 294cs changed hands.
The trade in new goods is once more
booming since the roads have become
passable. The country is reported full
of buyers in search of seedleaf, which is
beginning to grow scarce in some locali-
ties. The prices established some time
ago are we'll maintained, and the indi-
cations are that this class of goods will
be pretty well bought up by the end of
the present month. The deliveries have
become large at the warehouses here in
the city, and also at the country pack
ing houses.

EVANSVILLE, WIS, March 10, '99.

The beginning of the end of the buy
ing of the '98 crop is in sight, and al
ready in many sections the crops unsold
are so scarce as tolcause buyers to seek
some other locality. Buyers are just as
eager for the tobacco as they have ever
been and are paying just as high price.
Edgerton buyers seem to be more eager
than local packers and hold prices up to
a high point.
All grades are in good demand, from
the filler to the wrapper grades, an es-
pecially good demand having recently
sprung up for filler grades and buyers
are trying to get farmers to part with
their filters, without the remainder of
the crop, but the farmers dc not take to
the idea very kindly.
Deliveries at the warehouses continue
liberal, the farmers wishing to get their
tobacco in before the roads break up.
In old goods the market remains about
as it was last week.-Farm and Home.

The close of the buying of the 9S crop
is not SO far away as many might sup
pose, for the activity of the buyers who
are still in the field promises soon ito
clean the growing districts much closer
than any crop heretofore grown in some
years. When fully 80 per cent of crop
is bought up, as buyers now claim it to
be, it is short matter usually to gather
in the remnants not in the hands of the
confirmed holders. And the wind up
bids fair to be lively chase too for the
aggregate transactions of the past week
will doubtless equal nearly as much as
any of the previous ones. 1t scarcely
