The following address and resolutions are pub
lished under the direction of the tobacco asso-
citation of this city:
To The Planters and 1obocco Dealers Of Virgfn.
ia and North Carolina
The undersigned, buyers, sellers, and inspec-
tors of tobacco, having been requested to adj
city upon q subject affecting alike Your interests
and their own, would earnestly call your atten-
ton 10 n statement of facts, with a hope that a
knowledge of them on your part will lead to a
removal of the complaints now existing In the
markets of Europe and those of our own coun-
Try, which are known to us to operate pre1udi-
eially, and If not corrected will continue most
injnriously TO affect our mutual interests.
1t is not alone owing to the deterioated quality
OF cur great staple, but more in consequence of
its bad management, that the high standard
which Virginia and North Carolina tobacco
heretofore held in all the markets of the world
has suffered so great depreciation. For some
years past there have been growing complaints
of the bad asserting and mixed pricing in hogs
heads, and the evil has grown to such enornity
that IL Is no une mmon occurrence for large re-
CARNATIONS to be made upon the buyer for Tor
eign OF domestic orders because of the failure Of
the tobacco, when shipped. TO correspond with
the sample previously forwarded, and by which
the purchase had been made. In consequence
of carelessness and negligence on the part OF
some, and unscrupulousness of false packing and
nesting on the partof others, the trade have been
