not sufficiently quoted down to encourage oper-
ating on change yesterday, and an unusual
dizziness even for Saturday prevailed. There

any, except for July, and the bid on that was a
pretty safe one. Bids were made for corn, but
none was offered except little new mixed, which
was sold at 4sc. There is no No. nor No. 8 in
the city. Oats, considering the outside markets,
were high, sustaining prices of month back; l
car. No sold at &c, o. t. No. extra barley was
in demand at &c. Rye was quiet. Ground feed
was dull but steady. Bran went down 81 .25, and
was offered at S11.75 sacked. Hay was firm.

offered at 1c less than on Friday, but met with
no bids-buyers held off for lower figures, Fol-

The 1884 s!rOn

From the U. S: Tobaccs Journal, Cincinnati.
Transplantlng has begun IN some
sections, but it will be another week
or two before the work becomes gen
eral. Bat in very few instances do
we hear of scarcity of plants-the
general report is that plants are in
abundance. It would be well for
planters to carefully nurse the late
plants in the bed until the plants in
the field have time to show their weak
points, when all that are unhealthy
and stunted can be replaced by the
more vigorous ones remaining in the
bed. By this means the many gaps
that often appear IN fields after the
first week or two, can be closed up,
and when the crop is harvested, it
will be found that the yield per acre
has considerably increased in most
instances.
1t Is by such means, and carefully
nursing, wedding and worming plants
in the field. that the wide awake.
pushing planter gets a much larger
yield and much better character of
Tobacco than his next door neighbor,
Who has the same advantages, but
neglects to appreciate them.
That everything at present points
to an unusual yield of Tobacco is self
evident, and if the weather proves as
favorable during the coming months
as it has the past two, the Tobacco
barns of the country will be strained
TO the utmost capacity.
The improvement will not be con-
fined to any one State or section, but
it will be general. One feature of the
year is that more attention is given to
the better varieties of tobacco-those
kinds which yield the best price,.
