"Nobody seemed to knew what allied the
market to-day. The average Of prices was
lower than on yesterday.
Many thought the market weaker. but the
decline was probably due to the fact that
lower grades Of tobacco were offered. The
large sales Of the last three days have
flooded the market with cheap, unseryics-
able stun, and buyers do not now pay much
attention to such tobacco, while good hogs
beads frequently escape notice.
"Seryiceable new hurley was, however.
fairly strong to-day, colory leaf being bought
ut good prices. G. VI. Dayton, Of Trimble
county. sold three hOgsheads Of new hurley
1T the Planters Warehouse. The three to-
ge'h her weighed 3,4O0 pounds, and were
raised on two acres Of ground. They
brought Sl9.2j, Sl2.2j and $50, or $3.50 for
the entire crop. an average Of 1925 per acre.
"All kinds Of 1883 hurley were rather dull
to-day. Darks continue to attract little at
tentiOn. But little Of the 1887 tobacco is
left. and il sells at low prices.
"To-day's sales were 607 hhds., all crop
Of 1883 and 1850; g sold privately, 45l origi-
nal inspections, yesterdays reflections, 20j."
The Richmond tobacco market opened
dull and quiet on Monday and continued so
until the slight squirt in wrappers on Fri
day. Good sale. on Saturday. and very
sales for the week. Holders OF
desirable old tobaccos are confident Of the
strong position they occupy, and are in no
hurry to make sales. {. Mel.
