With the exception of the sale Of a
large lot of old Santa Clara tobaccos to
an uptown cigar manufacturing con-
cern there was little animation in. the
leaf market. Of old seed stocks Moth
ing but remnants seem to be left over.
There is an active inquiry going on for
the new Connecticut broad leaf which
is evidently to be the domestic wrap
per fashion for the coming season. It
is, however, not yet sampled and not
likely to be marketable for another six
weeks. Sumatra is moving along stead
ily but in small quantities.
Business continues quiet with the
metropolitan cigar factories and collec--
tions are exceedingly slow. A few good
seed and Havana orders have been
noted but the clear Havana houses with
few exceptions find brands moving
slowly and orders limited to small guam
titles for immediate needs. Nickel
goods are maintaining a fair level and
give what little life there is in the mar
ket. Summer resort orders have fallen
off slightly and are not showing up SO
well as was hoped from the good start
with which the season opened. The
box factories report very quiet busl-
ness.
At the Amsterdam sale, July 9tn, OF
19, ,268 bales of Sumatra only about 1000
bales were taken by American buyers.
Lots suitable for the American market
were rather scarce. Prices remained
firm. j Journal

LANCASTER, Pa, July 6, 1909.
The report of the Ninth Internal
Revenue District office for June, SO far
as concerns the cigar industry, was a
great surprise, as nobody thought it
would show such great improvement
over May. The cigar receipts, Sl75,-
241 .88, represented the tax on So, 413,
$50 cigars, as against $144, 596.10, the
tax on 48, 1913, 700 cigars, for May.
The trading in old goods last week
was confined to jobbing, and IN very
small lots, too. There is still huge
stock of old goods in our warehouses,
the only demand for it being from the
cigar manufacturers. The stock of old
goods in the hands of the manufactur-
ers being about exhausted, they must
hereafter draw on the packer, and as
there has been an unmistakable change
for the better in the cigar trade, inn
proved conditions must follow in leaf
business. Our packers have not only
considerable old Lancaster county stock
but they have large holdings of Ohio,
Connecticut and Florida goods.
The packers still continue to have
full faith in their 1908 tobacco, in spite
of the quantity of black rot that has
appeared. Some of the packers have
found very little of the rot, while 9TH

A DOZEN years ago there We're only
about a thousand automobiles in the
United States. Trade authorities es-
innate the number now in use at about
1G0, 900. It is. further estimated that
the number will be nearly if not quite
doubled within a year. The rapid de-
velopment of the automobile business
is one of the industrial phenomena of
the times. Within ten years the num-
Der of car makers has increased from
25 to more than $50, and export, sales
for the fiscal year just closed were n2t

ers have found so much that they are
rather alarmed. The 1908 tobacco cost
them so much in the beginning that any
unusual amount of rot would prove a
serious thing, by materially reducing
the stock.
The weather of late has been ideal
for the growing crop and it shows up
well. Late as it was in planting,
weather such as we have been having
will admit of it being harvested well
ahead of the season of frost. New

New England.

Under the influence of perfect tobac-
co weather the New England crop is
beginning to show fine stand. Not IN
years have weather conditions been
more favorable than in the past two
weeks. While there IS a considerable
acreage which is obviously late because
of transplanting, many crops have made
up the most of the lost ground and will
be ready to harvest early next month.
Cut-worms are less troublesome than
they were and much of the damage
from this source has been made good
by resetting. There has been short
age of young plants for this purpose, a
situation which has seldom existed IN
New England.

There has been some picking away
at the unsold remnants in growers
hands of late and in the aggregate
quite little of the cased goods has
been lifted, though at prices that do
not vary much from the average of
months ago. The following show the
range: 81

The new crop is making excellent
progress in sections favored by recent
rains but in some of the southern sec
tions no rains have fallen since the 4th
and the late set fields begin to show
the need of moisture. Where July
transplanting has been made the plants
are just barely holding their own and
must have rains soon to promise a sat
isfactory crop. The earlier set fields,
however, are so we'll rooted that they
are doing fairly well, but rains are
needed now for all crops.
Conditions in the cured leaf market
continue about as heretofore described
in this column. No transactions of any
moment have come to the surface.
The shipments out of storage reach
1875 cases and two car loads of bundles
from this market to all points for the
week past. Since last report four car
loads have been received.

New YORK. July z, 1909.

The fact of holiday interposing in
the midst of the week has prevented
any great amount of activity. News
from the growing sections has been
almost uniformly good, and it seems
that the new crop has fine start IN all
parts of the country. Everyone IS
waiting for the sampling which begins
next month, and from what is heard
good business may be expected for a
while then.
