Our market during the past month
was generally very firm and strong,
and in consequence OF continued dry
weather closed slightly higher for all
grades. A good deal of the early plan
ted tobacco is now being cut on ac-
count of what is termed premature or
dry weather ripe, and will be mostly
thin and poor and of nondescript
character. In many sections, compos-
ing what is termed the GAINESVILLE
Tobacco District. the planters claim
that the crop has already been cut
short one-half, and there is no doubt
but that serious damage has been done
but still We yet remember the year
1881, when in seemed the crop was
damaged by drought beyond redemp-
ton. but good rains during the first
week of September brought it out
beyond all expectations, and it is to be
hoped that we may have repetition
of the same this year.

slanderous attack upon Judge w, f.
