TOBACCO.-The movement in Leaf Tobacco
this week has been almost exclusively in Ma
ryland, the receipts of which continue liberal
the inspections this week amounting to nearly
1900 hhds. During the early part of the week
transactions were limited, business being re-
stricted by the fluctuations in the gold premi-
um, and the difficulty in negotiating exchange
but for several days past, the leading buyers
have been purchasing quite freely, and the
market closes active and firm. The sales of
the week embrace 700 to 800 hhds, all at full
prices. In Ohio there has been no movement
of consequence this week. The Ohio crop is
nearly all in, and the receipts this week have
been quite light. For this description the mark
ct is firm, and there is no prospect of any Civ
ang way in prices. In Kentucky and Virginia
we hear of no movement whatever but for each
the market continues firm. We note the ex-
port this week of ], 260 hhds. to Bremen, 83s
hhds to Amsterdam, 1,O47 hhds to Bordeaux
and Is hhds. to Barbadoes total 3,l6O hhds.
Prices are unchanged generally, and we quote

combining all the stimulating qualities of
Peruvian Guano, and the ever durable fertil-

can be applied in any quantity, however small,

calculating Farmers, after THIRTEEN years
experience in testing it side by side with other
popular fertilizers, that an application of 100
pounds of Excelsior is equal to from 200 to 800
pounds of any other fertilizer or guano offered

Look out for limitations and counterfeits.
The popularity of Excelsior has induced I'M

The use of this Guano since its introduction
in 1864 and the annual increase of its consump-
ton from few hundred tons the first year of its

increase of the products of agricultural labor, as
well as to the integrity of its production.

IHE RAPPAuANNoCK VALLEY Corn CRoP.-
The yield of corn along the Rappahannock
last fall has been largely in excess of any
crop since the war. a single commission
house i'll this place has shipped this spring
10000 bushels from between Fredericks-
burg and Port Royal. Mr.. A. M. Boulware
raised on the Belyidere and Prospect Hill
estates 5000 bushels. Captain William Tay-
lor Smith has delivered $500 barrels, his
crop averaging the grand yield of eleven and
Il half barrels per acre. Lawrence Taliaferro
has sold from the bayfield, estate 5000 BUSH
els, and has reserved probably a thousand
bushels. George Turner's crop was about
5000 bushels. Caroinus Turner's about
5000 bushels. John +. Gouldin has deliv-
cred $500 bushels, Oliver Watson 5000,
William Ii. Strother 3,400, K. Ii. Turner
1890, j. y. Gray 5000, w. c. Pratt 1900.
The list might he extended largely with
the names of others who produced from fif-
teen hundred to twenty-five hundred bushels,
but the figures we have given indicate what
was done in the way of growing corn in the
Valley Of the Rappallannock last fall.
There are thousands of acres Of land for
sale from Fredericksburg to the Chesapeake
bay, along the river. No quarter of the
world offers stronger inducements to those
seeking homes or to capital looking for a Sc.
cure and profitable Observation-Disclosures.

the man of rare and versatile talents; one
whose high attainments bespoke for him

stand in that honorable calling which he
had chosen that whilst his Alma Mater is
deprived of one of her most gifted SONS, it
is chiefly that we mourn his loss as Il warm

whom centred all that is high-minded and
noble; but our great consolation is that
over all his natural excellencics was shed
the mellow light of the religion of Jesus.
