The average for leaf tobacco for last

the preceding year there were sold
22,684 $50 pounds, the value OF which was
81 621. 796 80, and the average sll.55. It's
worthy Of remark that in the last ten
months there was paid out for tobacco over
5000 900 more than in the CORES pOnding
period of the preceding year, and that
there were sold over six million pounds

curing how it could be said that the trade
in manufactured tobacco should be written
as dull when the revenue receipts showed
larger shipments than were made during
this period of last year, received several
answers. one OF which was that some OF the
shipments were made to ill old orders. and
another that it WAS generally believed that
sintil the electiea Of the President was over
and somebody had been inaugurated there
would be dull season for all kinds Of trade,
ana capitalists were afraid to venture.
