pleasant places to spend the hours,
and the liberal offerings kept the
buyers and warehousemcn busy the
first three sale days. New offered
more largely than Old, and among
the "breaks" were a goodly number
ranging from Medium TO Good Leaf,
aud a few that might be classed Fine,
and bidding was active enough to
run prices up 10 satisfactory limits
whenever they were reached in the
sales. AS high as $l3.75 was paid
for hogshead of New and a com.
paratively large number ranged from
$1,000 up. Yet the great bulk of of.
ferings were Trash to Common Leaf
and bidding was no more active
than in previous weeks. One lot OF
ii hogsheads averaged $ll.04, selling
from $1,000 to $500.
