TIE LOUISVILLE MARKET.
There is no special change in the
tone Of our market from that of the
past two weeks, the market through
out being strong and active, good and
fine tobaccos being especially so. The
usual activity being manifested in
good weights and order for Tugs suit
able for export either for reggie or
German trade. New has arrived
sparingly and all was taken at very
full prices, quality and condition con-
sidered. In this connection we
would advise better, as condition has
much to do in getting good prices
No matter how good attention is
paid TO sales, if the tobacco is too wet,
good prices cannot be obtained.-
