New YORK, March 10. 1900.

The market seems to have settled
down to vacation. It is undoubtedly
enforced on account of a lack of suita BILE
stock, and not because of Stacking in
the cigar industry. For the month of
February showed an increase of over
twelve millions over February, 1899, in
the output of cigars in our Metropolitan
Districts, and of eleven millions in the
Ninth Pennsylvania. Our large leaf
houses in the market were never so short
of stock as they are now. Old leaf has
about entirely disappeared, and of the
9S crop only broken up lots are left.
Consequently, there cannot be brisk or
even active market.
In Sumatra the same unprecedented
condition prevails Never before has the
market been so bare of old importations,
and the '9S stock is likewise picked to
pieces. Hence the large Withdrawals
from the bonded warehouses which are
continuing from week to week. So even
if the business in Sumatra has slackened
the actual consumption goes on never

Imports and Exports.

The latest summary of imports and ex-
ports issued by the Board of Statistics
IN Washington shows continued devel-
opment in the general trade of the coun-
try. The periods dealt with are January
and the first seven months of the current
fiscal year, and comparison between
these and corresponding past terms is
highly satisfactory and instructive. For
instance, in January we imported 2,025,-
9l3 pounds of filler tobacco, as against
S99,341 pounds in the same month of
last year; and during the seven months
no less than 8,342,575 pounds, against g.
904 ,065 in the corresponding period of
the fiscal year '99, and 4,602,918 in that
of '90. In January the importations of
wrapper amounted to Isl 318 pounds,
against 127,S43 last year; and for the
seven months the figures stand at 2185,-
TAI pounds in '9S. The joint receipts of
wrapper and filler tobacco during the
seven months were 10,528, ,3O6 pounds,
valued at S6919, ,489. Cuba, of course,
supplied the lions share of this great
trade. In the seven months we took
from that island 6,S33, ,847 pounds of leaf,
valued at S4, ,496,0S3. Other sources of
supply were the Netherlands, with L
922, ,8S4 pounds: Germany, with 131, ,317;
other Europe, 573, ,389; Mexico, 192,942;
222, 1866, and other countries,
550961 pounds. In importations of ci-
gars, cigarettes, etc., an increase is like
wise shown, the total value of the ship
nents in the seven months being 81 1885,
L80, against 81, ,197, ,957 in SO and $685.

Connecticut Valley.

There are occasional sales of small lots
of tobacco, and we hear of resales of leaf
where the packers refused to take the
crops unless the grower would consent
to a reduction of from two to seven cents
per pound. We also hear of some in
stances where the packers Or their agents
have been ordered to leave the premiS.s;
while, again, others have accepted the
prices offered by the packers. In some
instances packers and agents have even
demanded that the amount of money nd
vanced to bind the bargains be returned,
the packers threatening to commence
suits for it's recovery. We hope that the
treatment the growers are receiving will
prevent any NOSE earl y selling of their
crops, unless it is to such parties as re-
lance can be placed on for honest and
manly dealing. We are glad to be able
to say that the bulk of the packers are
high-minded, honorable men, whose
word is as good as their bond.
A number OF sales of tobacco have been
reported at Agawam,. bat at rather low
prices, ranging from l3 to 16c. The dark
colored leaf is only sold at moderate
prices At Whately a lot OF hailtcutj
leaf is held at 619c. 1t is claimed to COZ

LANCASTER New ERA, March 6. 1900.
There is general complaint of dull
ness all along the line at this time, that
is, so far as the selling of cased goods
goes, but there is plenty of activity along
other directions. The sales of old goods
reported to us for the week are: l30cs
sold by G. III. Welchans q Co., 80 cases
sold by w. S. Bare, and 10 cases sold by
B. f. Good & Co., in all, 335 cases. For
the corresponding week of last year the
sales were 743cs.
There is much activity in new tobacco,
that is, in last years crop. Great guam
titles are coming into town every day OF
the week, both by rail and by wagon
There seems to be no regular receiving
days with many packers, but their purr-
chases come whenever the seller tlnds
time to bring it. The receipts by rail
from different parts of the county are
also crowding in so that the warehouses
are filled with animation and tobacco.
The new Porto Rico tariff is not Great
ing much excitement here. 1t adds an
import duty of SIC to the leaf from that
island, which will put the price from II
to Zoe Considering the poor quality of
the leaf and the limited quantity grown,
we are of the opinion it will not interfere
with Pennsylvania filters to any consid-
cradle extent. We do not believe that a
good filler tobacco selling at II to lac
is going to be driven out of the field by
| an inferior article selling at 20c. Before,
such thing can happen the immutable,
| law of trade will have to be reversed.
We do not believe that one plant less,
will be set out in Pennsylvania this
! spring because of this duty.

New YORK March 7, 1900.

The first week of the month has not
been an encouraging one for the domes-
tic leaf industry. Moderate sized deals
are being put through here and there;
but despite the fact that the cigar fac
tories report good business, there is no
great demand for homegrown leaf.
Sumatra- week in Sumatra has
not been particularly active, but most
importers, realizing the general shortness
of stocks and the natural tendency of
the trade to hold back at this time of
the year, pending developments in Am
sterdam, are we'll satisfied with the con-
ditions. Business appears to be we'll
distributed, each house getting it's share
of trade.
