this week.

DARK. The only change from lat
week is in the much fewer offered this
week. and even with that, prices OF
common and medium were dull aud
sales made nearer inside figures for
whatever suited the Italian Reggie.
Good wrapper leaf remains nominal
from scarcity. There appears TO be no

not 10 be wondered at, owing to the
bad order Of SO much offered. aud It's

UeJfhsr and CrOp-The continuous

the Ohio Valley and IN Tennessee, I'm

isted for several weeks past. Nester-

destructive during the late hot weather

much progress either as Of late.
From the statistics given for August
it will be seeu that the stock III this
increased .479 hhds. as com
pared with July: such increase being
more on account Of darks than in hurley.
