The market has been characterized by frmness
and animation during the past week. The number
o.! hOgshcatlS sold was large-l, 726-prescntng
again varieties In light and heavier grades adapted
for the wants of manufacturers dealers, and export
BUYERS. The richer German styles and dark manu-
featuring wrappers were, before. sparely repre-
sented and with the unfayorabe prospects III the
GAINESVILLE and adjoining districts. producing heavy
grades, the feeling for them remained very strong
and prices high.
; Export buyers generally have taken hold freely
during the past few days: the home demand Is dcve
oping more strength and with small supply OF leaf
in hands Of manufacturers an active competition
from them MAY be looked foc.
The market closed firm, and all values for common
lugs lp to fine leaf rule ut full range.
The weather has been quite rainy during the past
few days. and the supposition Is that the growth OF
plants has been aided thereby. Estimates of the
probable yield have not changed and from the best
sources Tie information is confirmed thai In South
crn Kentucky and the adjoining States, where rich
tobacco IS grown, the crop Is certain to be small
from one third TO one half OF an average The more
favored sections relied on to bring the estimate
of crop uD to three fourthS OF 4 light average.

What Advantages
HAS THE
HOW E MACHINE
OVER OTHERS?

FIRST.-The public know it to be dur
able. 1t will last life time.
SECOND.-It contains the material for
its own repairs.
THIRD.-It has less wearingp points than
any other.
FOURTH.-It draws up stitch rs you
do by hand; others do not.
FIFTH.-You have perfect control over
both threads; Others have not.
SIXTH.-It gives off thread in proper
ton to the thickness of the fabric sewed,
thereby avoiding slow motion over seams,
dropping stitches and breaking of needles
"A great objection to all other machines.
SEVENTH.-It sews n tight scam in
! cashmere, burying the thread on either
side, and then tissue paper without
change Of tension.
EIGHTH.-Tbe presser foot is eaisly
swung out of the way when you set nee
die or put under work. 1t is not 80 with
any other.
NINTH.-In range of work this machine
cannot be equAled. VIII work equally
well on thick or thin goods from gnuSe to
heaviest beaver coatings, or even leather
without change of needle, tension or thread.
We will warrant them to do this. Our
fine work is equal to any and our heavy
work excels that of any other machine in
the world.
TENTH Persons who have tried all
machines are unanimous in declasing this
to be the EASIEST LEARNED Machine
the market In the majority Of cases our
customers learn from the instruction book
without further aid.
What We claim, in substance, is that
this is an honest machine, and if put in
your family will do any and all of your
work perfectly, is n willing and ready SER
want, and is not subject to fits.
