RICHMOND TOBACCO NARKrE.

JUNE =, ls,i
Our monthly statements show an Increase Of
523 hogsheads, with tho largest stock we bayo
ever hsd in Richmsnd. This had been no secret
Tor = long while, but TO dolusiys hoPo that
something would turn up and tske this stock
away continues without any new encouraging DO
yelopment that ~ have heard Of. Itis nothing
but continued overcfcpping Of common tobacco
sad the more " less OVsr-cOgnd6nt buyers, by
whom planters have s0sR stimulated, that causes
this accumulation here, and the fear Is now 81
another big crsp, and The planter will be sorry
no does not make It big, ard We think will DO II
no docs. We have every year ample evidence
thAta crop small enough 20 DO well attended,
aud Of nns leaf will and DOES pay 1bis kiRd Is
always IN demand. GRd AZ present nose 9ther AZ
paying prices We have sssn this week Gae sun
cured leaf sell at net only good but fancy prices
aud planters we're all we'll pleased. but these to-
taccos we're sOd aus made by experienced men
aud mostly small planters who worked them
selves. and thoy made n specially OF something
wanted. aud were not aissPPsiuted. Lately We
hear OF much complaint Of damage TO plants by
too much rniH. roofs arc rCIteG. guGno and for
tiiizers we're or tbs soil and plants Gov
cred With mud aud killed, high water
washing them, but Agaipst this We hBy0
no bugs or worms, nies or drought,
while there are plenty Of plants 10 reset II wS
have the needed dry spoil, and thoro Is time
enough for this yet. Our mCrket IN tone Is Inn
proving Western reports Of cut worm work aud
bad weather, with 10 abundance OF plants aud
reduced stocks oil tend 10 cause a better feel
ing here npd will no doubt advance western leaf
more rapidly Btill unless change taxes place
coon. The talk Is now Of only q two-thirds crop
Of Burleys and higher prices than tho highest In
January. We hope Virginia lesfviil ID carried
up with Burlsys. Wrappers are hettor tits
week, as several bright. order men are again
In the market while cid bright oilers again so.d
more freely At good pricss- Ia common stock
there is no noticeable change. Interior markets
report little OF interest. sRa only iew Of them
are selling regularly. whilo receipts in general
are only too comIRon.
