LOCAL INTELLlUENCE.
RECEIvING TUBACCO.

Although some of the Lancaster tobacco
buyers have been receiving from the
farmers for a week or more past, there was
no general delivery until to-day when
several OF the warehouses received from
50.O00 to 100000 lbs each. Among the
heavy receivers were Teller Bros, Frank
Pentlarge, L. Gershel & Bro, Rosenwa aid
Lederman, Hoffman, Newberger, Skiles &
Frey, and Dan Mayer.
The bulk of the receipts came in wagons.
| and the tedious process Of unloading an d
weighing was continued ut some Of the
warehouses from daybreak till noon.
At Gershefs warehouse on Water
street two car loads were delivered by rail
from QuarryvilIe, and, perhaps, some
others received by rail.
There were some disputes between buyers
| and sellers during the delivery, and in q
| few instances, where neither party would
yield, the fOmer took his tobacco home. In
one or two other instances it is reported
that the contracts were annulled before
the tobacco was brought in, the buyers
| paying bonus to be released from accept
ing it.
| At several Of the warehouses there was
Il good deal of docking" the farmers in
most instances submitting to the squeeze,
| rather than take their tobacco home.
Some of them were docked as much rs $50
or : 10 per ton The docking was for ssv-
eral alleged reasons, the most frequent
being white vein or insufficient length Of
wrapper
As far as we have been able to ascertain,
the bulk Of the leaf thus far delivered is of
good quality, though several lots that
came under our notice were Of very light

white vein.
