The U. S. Tobacco Journal says: The
Havana seed crops, especially theso of Wis-
censin and partly l'ennsyivauia, contain
toliacce3 such as could net be found In crops
of the past ilve years. They are thin end they
are glossy. The consumption of such tobaccos
will be large, already detracting te a great
extent from the consumption of Hutnatra.
High prices In the latter will be n futther
stimulant, and consequently our American
buyers of Humatre will de well In exercising
ureat rant'r iii thelr operations with new

Our market showed 'much activity In old

This is en both side of the shed. Then, again,
