a BIG SUCCESS.

II was success III every particular, anu
eclDsed any other like ,ale ever held in
Cairo, we speak only the truth. Not
outstanding the fact that Paducah had
her premium sale yes erlay, circum-
stance which kept many buyers away
who would have attended the sale here,
the board OF buYers was unusually large.
and among them were many new men
who never before attended the sale in
this market. Kentucky, Tennessee.
Missouri and Illinois were all well repre-
scented at this sale.
NEARLY THREE HUNDRED
Hogsheads were on the breaks, and it
became evident early IN the day that it
would be impossible to put up the whole
quantity in one day. Besides. Mr.. Settle,
the regular auclioneer, the services Of
Sol Silver were brought into requisition
in the afternoon, but still it was found
impossible to dispose OF the whole OF the
vast quantity, and at tour o'clock III the
afternoon, after one hundred and
twenty-five hogSheads had been sold,
the sale was adjourned until 8 o. clock to-
pay in order to give the proprietors and |
clerks Of the house time TO straighten up |
the days transactions.
