has not as yet been any general movement.
The lots received are said to be good and
we'll assorted. The farmers are still strip
ping, and perhaps one half of the crop
has been stripped. The only complaint
made by them is that a large proportion
Of the leaf is short. To this complaint the
dealers add another-that white vein is
very prevalent. By both parties it is ad-
mitted that filters furnish very small
proportion Of the crop, and that the price
of them-old ones especially-will be ad-
vanced.

that neither twenty wagon loads nor any
