LOUISVILLE, APRIL 24th.

Editor Herald:
For some eseks past the tobacco
market has maintained firm position
with an active inquiry for all grades.
The red and colory types of tobacco
continue to command high figures, and
Cur sales of late for such have been
generally above the most sanguine ex-
pectations of sellers. There is also a
good demand for all dark rich leafy to-
bacco, and the season is now close
Upon us when this character of tobacco
generally reaches its highest point and
we would advise the holders of such to
prepare to market it before the season
Is too far advanced, say wi.hlh the
next sixty days.
The offerings for a month past have
been about equally divided between
the old and new crops the manu-
featuring demand inducing the holders
of old leaf to put their tobacco ON the
market, and that which was sound and
sweet sold at good prices.
The continued cold and harsh wealth

handle tobacco and has greatly cur.

bic weather we may look for large
receipts and would advise the sale OF
the old stock at an early da,e, for
shortly the preference will be in favor
of the new.
With regard to the future we will
only say. that we hear of preparations
for an average planting, and while We
feel that all good ssefai tsisassa Will

Editors Herald,

notes from various parts of Texas.

this portion. might not be amiss.
The weather Is very dry here.
There has been no rain scarcely for
two months. Most of the farmers are
done planting corn. Those who are
not done planting cannot finish until
it rains. There was a biting frost
here on the night Of the Ord of April,
which killed all the gardens and a
great deal OF corn. 1t also killed the
fruit. We had but little fruit except
wild plums, which grow in abundance
on red river. They are of the varie-

plums,
L have had several letters Of en-.
quiry sent to me by young men who
contemplate coming to Texas. asking
information as to the price of labor in
Texas. L would say for the benefit of
any who thinks of coming to Texas,
that wages are very low. Farm
hands can get about twelve and a-half
to fourteen dollars per month. Corn
is worth 20 cent, per bushel, bacon 6
cents per pound, -four 81 90 per hun
dred. Horses are worth from go to
$40 each. This county is better
adopted to stock raising than farming.
Cow boys get better wages than farm
hands, but not every body can make
a good stock hand. Stock men do |
not like to employ green hands unless
they can get them at very low price. |
