Mr.. Jas. ii. McConkcy has sold to Ii.
C. Moore Is acres ut II, Z, 5 and 4. while
other crops have been sold as high as 25
and 5 for superior and down as low as 5
and 2 for inferior grades. n crop Of to-
baccO raised in York county was taken to
Columbia where it was stripped and pro-
pared i;r market and afterwards sold for
% and ), when ut tho same time the best
offers yet made for other crops of equal or
superior quality raised ON the same farm
have been much below these figures.
Messrs. Thomson & Bro. have thus far
received about 26O cases, while they ex
pect to receive tomorrow Saturday
40, 900 pounds. or about 100 cases more.
The receipts up to this time Of NleSsrs.
Keller Il Kline amount to about 800
cases ana in addition they have purchased
NIessrs. Whitman & Strickler, Bunzl Il
DOrmitzcr, S. Il. Kochcr s. Co. and Skiles
s. Frey have all made heavy purchases
and the two former firms have received u
portion Of their purchases. Messrs. 5. Il.
KOcher & Co. will commence receiving to-
day. We are unable to give approximate
figures of the amount of the crop bought
by the firms given 1t is probable that
the receipts by 5. r. KOcller & Co. to-day
and by Thompson & Bro. tomorrow will
make two of tho heaviest tobacco days SO
far this season.
In addition to the tobacco purchased
and delivered ut our warehouses to be
packed here, over 200 cases have been
received here by Lancaster dealers and
shipped in bulk to Lancaster to be packed.
Another Big Day.
The weather to-day is cold and damp,
just such 4 day as the tobacco growers
like to have to deliver their tobacco ; the
only drawback being the horribly bad
condition of the roads, which in many
places are almost hub-deep with mud.
But Notwithstanding this drawback, i'm
mense quantities Of the leaf were delivered
at the city warehouses. At Fatman 81
Co.'S, to-day, AZ loads, many Of them
horse loads were delivered. At Teller's,
SkilesS Frey's, Frey Weiller's s. Wcrtheim-
er's, Bunzl & DOrmitZcr S. Shredder & Bon s
Oppenheimcr's, Herr's, John MoOre's and
| other warehouses, there were also largo
numbers of wagons unloading from day
break until afternoon. During the week
Skiles Il Frey received about 10000
pounds. On Thursday G.. G. Herr received
about so wagon loads. Many of the ware
houses further from the centre Of the town
VIC have not had an opportunity Of visit
ing, but from the large number of country
teams, piled high with tobacco and NOV
ing in the direction of the warehouses,
there is 10 doubt, they too are receiving
largely.
