BE Cautious.

Pause before you repeat an injurious
story about woman. Say to yourself,
"This may not be true, or it may be
exaggerated" unless you have proof OF
the veracity of your informant. Peo-
pie sometimes tell falsehuods, they Of
ten'make mistakes. and they some
times hear wrong There is auricu-
lar as well as optical illusion. Take
all these things into consideration be-
fore oou even believe. AS for repeat
ing the story, ask yourself If it Is ne
cessary. 1t sometimes is necessary.
Then do 1t with the fear of God and
the remembrance of the golden rule
before you. Let us give the helping
hand, and not the downward push; so
may the angels reach their hands to-
ward US when we stand Ia need.

Editors lntellIEeaeer
Our market for Ohio tobacco during the
past month has shown less animation; The
total transactions amounting only to
about 800 hhds. Early in the month
the French agents made further purchases
OF 2S4 hhds on their contract, and Msssrs.
Bros. Boninger also bought SO hhds Of
common grades; the balance Of the sales
consist principally Of spangled grades
bought for Bremen and Austria. or late
we have made no sales Of spangled de-
scriptions as we did not want to sell at a
decline and endeavored TO maintain for
mer prices. The French agents are at
present not in the market and are holding
back with view Of buying at lower
prices.
AS regards the purchase Of the new crop
our friends should be very careful. Ohio
tobacco Is now moving off very slow, and
the stock here is daily acCnmulating; 1t
is evident that the crop OF last year can.
not be disposed Of this season, and that a
considerable amount will have to be car.
ried over. COnceding even that the new
crop should be less than half Of All average
crop, yet. with the old stock left on hand,
there will be a sufficient supply for all the
demands for next year.
We can hardly expect that the French
Government will issue large contract
for Ohio tobacco next season rs we have
always observed that whenever the crop
Of Ohio Is small they have curtailed the
amount in proportion to the size OF the
crop. As they has been no failure in the
crops raised In Kentucky, Virginia, and
Maryland. We do not believe that Ohio
tobacco will command high prices, il
other kinds OF tobacco which are general
ly preferred by buyers can be bought for
less. Taking these circumstances in con.
sideration we would name s. so to 500
average, as the outside price that buyers
can afford TO pay.
Owing to deficiency OF bright grades in
the Kentucky crop, air-cured Ohio Tobac.
co was taken this season as a substitute
and commanded high prices, but as an un.
usually large proportion Of bright Tobacco
has been raised in Kentucky this year, ii
Ii not likely that air.Cured Ohio Tobacco
will be wanted for this purpose; cUnse.
quenuy il bought on the strength Of this
years prices 1t will likely sell with heavy
loss, therefore we think Air-cured Tobacco
should be bought at the same prices as
fred Tobacco.
The total inspections OF Ohio Tobacco
up to date amount TO 1887 hhds.,
against Is, l04 hhds. at the same time last
year. WlLHHHs & BEALL.

Regarding the market for American pig,
nothing can be said definitely further than
that values are even more unsettled now
than at any previous time since the excite.

lots said to have been frequent during the
past three days at the latter.
Scotch pig has been very excited and
active, with the fluctuations In value even
more rapid and wider than on domestic
product, The sales actually reported and
amount OF business thought TO have been
effected In quiet way greatly exceeds the
heaviest transactions reported during any
similar period in this branch OF the mar

OfFFIces.
n. Y. Bulletin Of Saturday. u
Dealers, almost without exception, con.
tinue to speak in confident, cheerful
mood, and unhesitatingly pronounce the
market in healthy, promising condition.
This they expect to preserve SO long as
the speculative element can be kept down,
and the values are allowed to slowly bnt
surely increase on the steady absorption
OF supplies into consumption. There has
for many weeks past been many changes
of stock from dealer to dealer, but no
more than might BIZ expected in the ordin.
airy course of trade, and Under such ne.
cessities as might arise to keep up assert.
ments, ETC., but there is no appearance Of
much, il any positive accumulation made,
and 1t is likely the great bulk OF the wool
reported sold has already, directly or in.
directly, found It's way into consumers
hands. This weeks movement is full and
includes some sweeping sales Of California
lots taken BY hat manufacturers, with. how.
ever, full proportion Of carpet, clothing
and blanket woods. Values are stronger
generally, and at the close It would be
difficult to obtain Y aud XX fleeces be.
low 40c., and some holders ask 43444c for
No. ! and medium grades. There is also
good movement In foreign woods, but as
usual dealers are unwilling to furnish full
particulars. Taken altogether the situa.
ton is extremely firm, aud the trade con.
