lowing extract therefrom
Some days since we gave notice
through our papers, that on the 18th
of this month we would have a 10
bacco Fair, but upon reflection we
have concluded that the season was
too far advanced, and the notice not
sufficient to enable US to get up such
a Fair as we could wish, but 10 have
a large sale on that day. and the To
bacco trade OF Evansville will have =
Grand Lunch prepared to entertain
the friends and patrons of the market
Since the LIST of June last, we have
sold ,1S7 hogsheads of tobacco. and
our market has stood up bravely
under continued unfavorable advices
from seaboard and foreign markets,
until recently, when the pressure
from foreign buyers and operators
have compelled prices to yield some
what, and we note a decline within
the last week of nearly one cent per
pound on all grades, but especially on
low leaf and Tugs, though still. as
heretofore, we keep ahead of other
Western markets In prices.
