The fifteenth Of April cast a sorrow and gloom
over our people, such as was probably never wit
n SEED IN my country or age. For wen hlgh zen
DAYS all JUsiness except the most Unavoidable was
suspended. But after the Obseques IN honor OF our
la.e and lamented Chief Magistrate had passed
transactions were resumed in all branches OF trade
with redou6led energy and WIN confidence IN our
political and commercial position.
Tobacco has shared the revival fully, and We are
clad To report 10 our friends largely improved feel
inx Of fauh in this ar.ic.e, and transactions show
iuS that We have passed the normal condition de-
scribed to you two weeks ago
The TACT that sheridan, on his last great cam
psign DESTROYED four millions Of dOla-s worth Of
cured tobacco, and that only little remains
and that "litte" hali-msce in bad order and per-
ishing has fully banshed from the minds Of holders
aad Others the fea. that Virginia supplies might
oyeryh helm our market W. now look forward 10
the time, not far OF when the South may largely
draw from our supplies Of Cvendsh, and when
Virgins herself may be, for the time being good
customer for our better work Or manufacturers

theif pSetensions on all good WOOk, which now may
be quoted i've AID ten cents higher with actual
