anu Deliveries.
There was moro activity in the local
tobacco market during the past week than
there had been previously for a month or
two. A score or more of buyers have been
securing the county and picking up
alI the desirable lots they could lay their
hands Or, and paying pretty good prices,
too. 1t is now an open secret that
good leaf is getting scarce in the hands of
growers. and that buyers who held back in
hopes of q decline in prices have been dis
appointed and are willing to pay to-day
prices at which they pooh -poohed earlier
IN the season. While few of the "early
BIRDS" who bought the crops as they
grew Oh the field in September last, have
been bitten here and there, majority of
them are well satisfied with their ventures,
while those who bought in January and
paid as high as Is and 80 cents for fine
wrappers, boast that their purchases are
much cheaper than those now being gath
cred in at 12 ahd Is cents. A few weeks
more of active trade will suffice to clean
up that part of the crop of 1881 remaining
in the hands OF growers.
