TO The Editors Of the Observation-Disclosures: We
have noticed for the last few weeks that the breaks
of Tobacco at the several warehouses in this place.
have been very much crowded; that mos. of the To-
bacco is of inferior quality and that of good and fine
quality has generally been In very soft order. Much
of it have become warm and mouidy, which seriously
injuries the sale. have seen in tile last week good
Tobacco that in soft order and mouldy sell for from
s so to So per hundred less than it would have
brought had it been in dry order. 1t is all important
TO the owners of Tobacco. az this time, that you
should, through your valuable paper impress on them
the Importance OF putting their Tobacco up in dry
orderKs the breaks much crowded at this time
that it is with difficulty that any Tobacco coming in
now, be opened for the next weeks and the
weather has become warm, no Tobacco priced in soft
order wild stand for two weeks without being moul-
dy and funked with serious depreciation of its
lue q consequence. Another reason why would
advise you to impress on the planters the importance
of przng their Tobacco dry is this that the orders
from foreign ports for Tobacco larger this year
thaa usual and Tobacco to fill these orders must be
in dry order; and in addition to this manufactu.
Season, as they
have to dry it before it can be worked. and as they
have mske it undergo softening process IN pre-.
pairing it TO be manufactured. So far the planters
have lost large amount by putting up their Tobacco
when soft. Yours, respectfully, Z.
