The breaks were small, owing TO the
weather and bad condition Of the
roads, and Of poor quality, no fine
leaf or selections offering. The demand
continues far ahead Of the small sup
ply offering, and prices remain very
firm for al grades and qualities. We
repeat our former suggestions to our
planting friends to hasten in their
low grades before Illinois, Indiana
and Northern Kentucky supply the
demand for Tugs. Our more Southern
latitude gives US advantages in the
early preparation Of Tobacco for mar
ket. which we should use when it Is
our interest to do so. There is a good
demand at present for low grades for
shipment to the Mediterranean ports,
and when this is supplied, we may
look for a decline on the low grades,
as spain, who has always been our
best customer owing 70 her political
troubles and unsettled government,
has been unable to pay her contractors
for the tobacco furnished last season,
and will probably buy but little from
US this year.
Our peopl eshOUld not lose sight of the
fact, that though our crop is not much
more than half in quantity, as COM
pared TO the crop shipped last season,
vet the Western crop, taken as d
whole, is above the average size, and
the quantity Of frosted and frozen, and
short green stuff in the crop will swell
the amount CT low grades to an unu-
sual proportion. We should not look
for such a run on Tugs throughout the
season, as we have had the past two
years, the circumstances being differ
ent.
We trust some Of our planting
friends in the Western District and
Kentucky Purchase, will try our mar
ket with some of their handsome
bright leaf, for which there are now
large orders here seeking to be filed
at figures ranging from SD to $50.
