LOUISVILLE. KY, September Is
Lighter receipts and offerings Of all
sorts, burleys easier. darks dull and
lower. with changeable but favorable
crop weather, were the leading features
this week.
Brleys.-Whie offerings were hight
er. the character aud condition were
similar to those of last week. with the
exception that we had only two or
three lots Of the higher grades from re-
liable packers. instead Of general as
sortment If such. Up till Thursday
the market was generally duller and
prices easier for all offered. Yesterday
and day before the market showed more
life and hrmness. and was irregularly
HIGHER. although as compared with last
week quote red and c0lOry trash fill
lers as nearer inside figures. Common.
1c. lower on outside, and medium
1c. lower on inside figures, with
the higher grades unchanged and
while 25c. was reached Yesterday as the
highest during the week. the best to-
baccos offered were deficient IN style
and quality Of those sold during the last
two weeks. At present the demand Tor
good To select leaf is undoubtedly ahead
os the supply, with good manuiactur-
inc demand for all desirable mediums,
aud an over supply OF common ana
trash filters. Wrappers nominal from
scarcity. Red smokers. dull and lrregu-
lar at nearer inside figures, while colory
TO bright smokers and cutters continued
active and piices fully up to late slles,
with fewer good TO the best offered.
| Offerings, while dry, were unusually OIL
in flavor.
Dqrk.-With considerably fewer offer
ed. sales proved the most unsatisfactory
for sellers. as compared with any week
this season. the low prices failing to
attract even the sangulne country
sperulator. who generally come In for
| such-at prices like the present. The
only indication of speculation IS IN
trash and common dark Tugs from one
cent to two cents. as IT there might be a
scarcity of such in The far future and
pay a Dutchman's profit IN the sweet

reflections were large on the bids OF all
the Reggie as we'll as rehandling buy

side figures--a general query now beng
how much lower will they 80? Any

hogsheads were sold for New York.
/ The smaller supply Of this class OF to-
bacco i'm the growing crop Is enabling
sellers TO obtain for choice tops OF the
last crop in good order, higher prices
than last year, although the bulk OF the

cutting purposes. being coarse. mixed
with green, and unusually out OF or

Weather and crop. Despite the fears
of frost during the last few nights the
crop has weathered the crisis. for an
other week, excepting where 1t has
