reaction to the almost total suspension Of rail-
road communication north, which the heavy SHOWS
of January Effected is beginning to show itself in
slight rejuvenation of business in our community.
Goods which were frozen up en- route hitherwards,
from Baltimore, Philadelphia and your city, are be-
ginning TO arrive by the South Side Railroad, in
encouraging quantities, and our dealers generally
are looking more businesslike and losing the grim
shades Of disappointment which for six weeks past
have been settling in frowns upon their usually
pleasant features.
The delays in the transportation Of freight, as
well as the mails, have indeed been most provok
ing, and much just complaint has been made Of the
seeming lack Of energy displayed by the South Side
Company in keeping their road open during
he season. With far greater difficulties to sur
mount, and with much longer stretch Of
travel, the Virginia and Tennessee road has been
kept open, so as to keep up daily and almost regu-
lar trips. The difference appears to result from the
class Of engines used by each; those Of the Vir-
full first class engines, WHILE If am correctly in
formed there is scarcely one of first rate order in
use upon the South Side road. This appears to be
very doubtful way Of economising aud should be
remedied.
Very little is doing, as yet. in our tobacco manu-
factories. Fine grades of leaf being held back
by planters, and our warehouses present but little
in the way of the staple worthy the attention Of
buyers. The prospect for an u9Ssually active year
with our manufacturers is slightly marred by a
knowledge of the quantity Of manufacturing leaf in
the hands Of planters. This may appear doubtful
at first glance to those who are cognizant Of the
large yield Of tobacco last year but it is not
generally known that the great bulk of the
purposes, and will be such as il generally rejected
by our manufacturers as not good enough for their
use. The unusual demand, however, already indi-
Gated in some Of the largest markets, which will be
made for manufactured tobacco the coming year,
may force much OF this inferior leaf into market I'M
der the form Of manufactured.
