clip the following from the Louisville
Courer-,jourad, of the sth inst
The week opened with prices some
what unsatisfactory. owing 10 iluclua-
tions, but that feature was confined q
Monday alone. After that the market
stcadicd, with a strong, healthy demand
for all good types of tobacco. and never
failed go keep It's frmness, most grades
showing a good advance during the week.
Hence. the result OF the last six DAYS
sales has been satisfactory 10 warehouse
men and shippers and the week has
been AN exceedingly auspiciOus one f0I
the Louisville tobacco market
While prices have been good great
many hogshcads of very poor tobacco
haze been put ON the breaks during the
week, causing q warehouse man 10 re-
mark that he would like to see one really
perfect hogshcad offered and notice the
contrast between il and The inferior
grades The latter, however, sold as well
AS could be expected. Good leaf and all
ihe higher grades of dark tobacco, col0ry
hurley trash and Tugs and every style of
hurley leaf, from common up, are in
strong demand. and the most pro-
nounced advance during the week has
been I'm such. Good dark tobacco has
been very strong, and there has been ac-
tive bidding on each hogshead OF bright
hurley
"The attendance of farmers and ship
pcrs upon the breaks during the week
has been very large. and those selling
tobacco have uniformly expressed their
pleasure az the prices received, pretty
sure indication Of the good condition Of
Ihe market. for when the Kentucky far
mer thinks he is not paid enough he Is
pretty likely to let 10 be known.
lone of the suTcst proofs of the strong
demand has been the large number of
private sales during the week When
ihe market is poor q broker or buyer
who has q contract 10 iill can 60 on tie
breaks and get all the tobacco he wants
81 his own prices When 10 is high lac
.cndeavors to secure bargains hy making
a large purchase in a lump. Many re-
iecfcd hoesheads were also offered dur
ing the week and rarely failed TO bring
ON advance.
And from the Tobacco Plant as follows.
DURHAM. y c., April s.-A cold
