The Cairo daily bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1870-1872, 1871-05-09

W. u ~
The market has been very Inactive since
our last report, ewing partly to the pecu-
liar state Of the atmosphere 1t not being
favorable to the handling of tobacco. The
receipts therefore have been light. The
past week, however, has been more favora-
BILE and the breaks show pretty fair sup
ply with satisfactory prices and little
more animation than for some time past.
Nothing has been developed to cause us 70
change our viewsas stated in our report of
March 18th. We cannot see from the
lights before US, and we have certainly
used every means in our power t. keep
well up with the tobacco trade, that there
can be any material change from present
prices, and still advise q conversion Of
the present crop into money as early as
practical.
We are pleased TO see that the planters
have taken advantage Of our suggestions
and are handling their tobacco with more
care, and are now sending il to market in
more attractive style, as regards cooper
age and pricing. We again say that too
much care cannot be used in preparing
tobacco for sale.
As to the coming crop, we are DESTROYS
that each planter, for his own benefit,
should take particular pains in the culture
and housing of the crop Of II. Reduce,
if possible, the quantity, and improve
the quality, for il Is in the power Of the
planter in this immediate vicinity TO pro-
duce MS good tobacco as is raised any where
in the world. 1t is an exploded idea tina.
good tobacco cannot be produced only in
certain localities. 1t Is in the knowing how
to cultivate and handle the crop as much
rs In the soil. Tobacco Is now cultivated
la thirty,states OF the Union and II de-
wolves upon you to determine whether our
section cannot produce tobacco that will
class favorably with other tobacco, in any
market.
BY very careful comparison of the diff
ferent homo markets, We are more fully
convinced than ever Of the superb
or advantages we possess, and
buyers are awaiting themselves
of the cheap rates Of freight offered at
this market, to all points, caused by legi-
innate and healthy competition of the var
ious lines of transportation centering here.
We regret to see New Orleans evident
ly trying to "bull" tho market. In their
reports Of April 10th they say. "Advices
from Kentucky concerning the growing
crop are quito unfsvorable. In many To-
calities tho plants have been nearly all
killed by frost or eaten up by the bugs.
This will retard the crop and of course
expose it to greater vicissitudes." That is
a bull. Again they say, same date: There
has been no demand whatever for the new
crop. We quote as follows, ETC." giving
quotations at higher figures then the same
grade has commanded in any other local
market; then receipts are increasing
rapidly and liberal stock will soon be ac-
When that market is stock
cd We presume they will commence SELL
ference between quotations and actual
sales. in market where there is mo de
mand," and as to specializing on the crop
of 1871, II is simply matter of impossi-
bility to judge correctly at this season Of
the year.
Our interest is directly with the plant
or, and in all candor will say to you, do
not trust too much to 'vicissitudes," but
lend your tobacco to market as early as
possible.
Our annual fair will take place sometime |
in June, due notice OF which will be given
you, so you can be prepared for the same. |
Since our last, the receipts have been 1868
hhds, making total this season of 42S6
hhds.
Friday, and not Saturday, - heretofore,
will be the weekly sale day from and after
this date.
Sales to-day were 70 hhds and 8 boxes
