An idea may be gained of the volume
of business done by this department
when It is known that the postage stamp
accotlnt for one week averages 81 200,
while wagon loads each week have been
sent by express.
In addition to the quarters in which
this work is being done, another spacious
apartment on the same floor has been
secured, and in this are stored the goods
as they are delivered while awaiting ship
mont to their final destination.
The freight and passenger elevators (the
latter for the less bulky matter) are kept
in motion until O'Clock daily in trans
porting the stuff as it comes from the
drays and wagons TO the store room and
work shop and in carrying the mail mat
ter to the postoflice below.
Everybody is busy; not a moment is
lost and It is safe to say that there is not
a better organized or harder worked lot
of employees in the country than those
engaged, by the aid Of printers ink, in
notifying the world that the Centennial
Exnostion Is close at hand.

TOBACCO NEWS.
LOUISVILLE TOBACCO MARKET.

There has been no change in the
situation of the tobacco market since
our last report. Receipts and sales
continue very light and the precent-
age of rejections quite large. The
total receipts and sales of a whole
week now do not foot up SO much
as fair average single days receipts
and sales for this time last year. The
opinion seems to prevail that the
extraordinarily light receipts are not
attributable alone to the unsatlsfac-
tory state of the market, but 1t is as
serted that the receipts, light as they
are, constitute fair proportion OF
the new crop in the country-that IS,
that the receipts now of 400 to 900
hogsheads per week constitute as large
| a percentage of the present crop, as
the weekly receipts, this time last
year of 5000 to 1000 hogshead' did
10 the crop of that year. Ii this l'
the case, all crop estimates have been
very much too laig5. In a large part
of the Green. River district, it is now
quite certain that the 1887 crop was
not over l5 per cent. of the 1886 crop.
Prices this week have ranged about
same as lat week The market
shows very little animation. Buyers
do not seem anxious TO buy, holders
are equally Indifferent about selling
Good Barley tobaccos are still sell

Still another room was needed, and one
was procured for the accommodation Of
the editorial corps. This, an auxiliary OF
the printing and advertising department,
is one Of the most important of the whole
enterprise, for to its ldbors are intrusted
the duty of 'booming" the Centennial
through the columns of the daily and
weekly press in n dozen states.
Experienced newspaper people havS
been secured to "write up" every feature
OF the Exposition, to correspond with the
editors and publishers of the country, to
frame "taking'' and attractive advertise
