Tobacco Market Shows Little Activity in Old Goods
Market reports from Lancaster and surrounding counties indicate virtually no trading of eased tobaccos. The cigar trade shows slight improvement with limited purchases while eastern districts see slow sales of the 1907 crop. Eight cents opening prices give way to modest gains as farmers pack or sell, with carloads shipped to J Gust Zook & Son, Otto Eisenhour & Bro., and A B Groff & Co. The United States Tobacco Journal notes ephemeral leaf market activity and a relief in Sumatra stock, predicting renewed American buying on lower stocks.
