To Tobacco Dealers.

A letter received from Mr. F. NJ. AT
KINsoN, Inspector at the Warehouse at
Bellaire, contains the following, which
is important to dealers:
sin the matter of parties consigning
tobacco to the Warehouse. will arrange
to have it sold by sample in Baltimore,
il it cannot be sold at Bellaire. By so
doing, shippers will have the advantage
of two markets, and avoid the risk Of
having their tobacco hypothecated, or
loosing by failure OF commission men,"
That sounds like business, and dealers
should consult their best interests by
sending their tobacco to the Warehouse
where they can watch over and direct
its sale there, or BY sample in the East
as suggested. II sold by sample East,
the dealer can direct that it be held in
the Warehouse until the money is paid,
or deposited in bank to his credit.
The right man has been placed al the
helm, and. judging from expressions Of
dealers in this section. he will steer it to
success, and they will aid him all they
can.
