Our Surc rss md ma It's Results
The opening sale Of the Cairo tobacco
market closed yesterday, and the expec-
tations of the most, ,sangune friend of
the enterprise have been more than re.
allied. During the day yesterday about
one hundred and eighty-fye hhds were
sold, the prices obtained being highly
satisfactory. The rejections were re.
markably few, and most Of these would
have been only partial, If the rules gov
erning such matters had permitted par
tial reflections A few persons holding
lots Of from two to five hhds refused TO
confirm the sale, because, perhaps, Of
their puculiar notions as to the value OF
one or two hogsheads. Very little Of the
tobacco, however, WILDE sent elsewhere,
rs the owners generally express the
highest confidence In our market, and
are willing to try 1t again. ...T
The best buyers OF the country were
here, and some who felt pride in build
ing up the market. Whatever might have
been our estimate Of their opinions du-
ring the progress OF the sale, we can at
least believe them NM when they de-
clare that the tobacco sold brought every
cent IL was worth. But the most encour.
aging feature was the evident satisfac.
ton Of the planters. Quite all OF them re-
turned home well pleased with the re-
suits Of the sale. aud with the kind and
hospitable treatment they received at
the hands Of our citizens. Messrs STRAIT
fnn IT.lIit.,, nsI T..
Esgleston, Phillips, aud others were
tireless in their attentions to our visi-
tors, and seemed determined that no
one should leave the city dissatisfied.
The Cairo tobacco market Is q success
The Rubicon has been safely crossed,
and from this point forth we can see no
impediments that are either insurmount.
able or discouraging. And what will be
the fruits?
The planters, their wives aud daugh.
