uondon Tobacco Market.
LONDOY, 4 CROSBY SQUARE, +. C., !
June 3, 1884. !

LONDON. 4 ltOSB1 ~
June 3, 1884.
To the Editor OF The Dispatch:
Our tobacco market was rather more
lively last month, and fair general busi-
ness was reported at steady prices. There
is. however. no new feature OF interest on
which TO comment, but we have arrived at
that period OF the season when we look to
American crop advices to furnish little
excitement, and although we have no
desire to see short crop we gladly well
come ANYTHING which will impart little
more life to our market.
There is no demand at present for the
best qualities Of Greensboro strips such as
are held at 9tG10d. \ small parcel OK
choice Clarksvile strips realized the for
mer figure during the month, and we hold
our best Hendcrsons at about these prices.
but they are above the range OF all but a
very few buyers who can afford 10 take
their own time.
Missouri leaf has almost disappeared
from this market, and seems likely to be
more scarce than il has been for yeas in
all our markets.
Some parcels OF new - Burley" leaf
have been sampled, and although OF good
color are not readily salable at the high
prices expected.
We believe 20 or so tierces OF Clark Viz
ginia strips were sold at about I'D. and
the stock OF this class now remaining IN
first hands is very small. The few lots OF
Virginia bright leaf sold brought high
prices-l5d. or morc-and we suppose
some time must elapse before we receive
supplies sufficient to cause much reduction
in these values.

The Boston journal, BLAINE organ, hav-
ing declared that "the large number OF Thrift
tyand intelligently-conducted local papers
in Massachusetts are noted for their indie
pendence, consequently their expressions
relative 10 the Republican ticket are sig

quote the views Of number OF these

a vote In the interests Of the most danger
Gus elements that ever gained supremacy
In this country, and no word OF ours shall

II would seem that the expressions OF
