ToBAcco-The sales to-day we're confined
to hbds We hear of some inquiry for ex-
port. The amount on sale is estimated at 2725
hhds. The market is very strong, especially
for the better qualities, but we still omit
quotations.
The Louisville Courier-Journal of Monday
reports that prices continued to decline until
the 18th July. after which they commenced
hardening. and, during the last fortnight, had
risen 81 5O@2 7e 100 tb for manufacturing,
cut ng and export leaf at 25@75c orlugs, the
market toward the close being excited
and buoyant, especially for good, useful
Tobacco suited to consumption or export.
The unprecedented duration Of wet weather
has become nearly as threatening as the drouth
of last year. Recently, the rainfall has con-
: tinued with increased copiousness, and has
extended further into the States north and
west of Kentucky. There is no section of
the Western tobacco area which has escaped
injury, and, in some portions of this and the
adjoining States m IRE than half the crop
planted Is estimated to have been destroyed.
The crop in bottom lands has Jared worse,
but on uplands the soil has been so wet as to
prevent cultivation. The crop is overrun
with wee6s and grass, and is frenching badly
in all directions.
In some counties also the plants are begin
ming to suffer 80 seriously from field fire that
planters are cutting their crops green and full
of sap, in which case the yield is estimated at
400 to 500 ID p acre instead of the normal
yield OF 800 to 1900 ID. The damage to the
crop is variously estimated at 35 to so 99 cent,
and probably includes an allowance for the
intiiction of further loss from the evil infu-
ences which are still in existence but may
soon abate. We think it not unlikely that
the crop may turn out one third less than the
immense yield at one timed hoped for, even if
no further damage is sustained. and that the
quantity and quality combined may perhaps
have suffesed to the extent of 40 or so ~ cent
The acreage, no wever, wa, fperhaps rs per
cent larger than in 1873, though the Depart
ment of Agriculture intimates the in crease at
only IL per cent That the average quality
of the crop has been lowered irretrlevably
and very seriously in all sections admits of
no sort Of doubt. These accounts are cor
roborated by private letters. Received since
last evening. none; exported, none; stock on
hand by our running statement, 1891 hhds.
