Market conditions are not up to eX-
pectations The feeling of depression
that seems to permeate just now the
business world at large appears to have
infected also the leaf market with
gloomy forebodings. 1t is not the un-
usually long and severe winter which
is being chiefly held responsible for the
drawbacks in business movements but
the cause is being ascribed rather to
our political atmosphere as being preg-
nant with changes threatening business
stability and expansion. If merchants
start in a season that should be devoted
exclusively to their business affairs to
think and talk of politics and Of the
aspects of legislation on their fortunes
then there must be more in the air of
it than a mere temporary embarrass-
ment. The prayer therefore seems to
be on everybody's lips to spare US
further legislative meddling with bust
ness affairs, inasmuch as the admins
tration has in the short time of its eX-
istence accomplished more changes and
radical, too, than many an administra-
tion has before during its entire term.
On getting rest seems therefore to
depend the revival Of more buoyant
feeling necessary for pushing trade
ahead. The hopeful spirit of the mar
ket, however, is by no means slumber-
ing altogether. Our domestic shade
grown leaf seems to be enjoying pop
ularity the like of which it has never
before experienced. And the Sumatra
importers seem to have recovered their
pluck, too, in participating to larger
degree in the inscriptions. For more
near the old quantities was taken by
American buyers at this weeks in
scription. Evidently both the avail
ability of the parcels offered and the
prices graded for them respond more
favorably to the American purchasers
inclination for investment.-Jou
