The Danville Register Of TO-DAY has
the following on the new crop FROM
the full reports of the winding up OF
the tobacco year, pubished IN ycster-
davis Regisfer, it Will be noticed that
the sales OF leaf in Septe mber of this
year were 221 .146 pounds larger than
in September, 1885, yet the aggregate
sales for the year ending September
30lh " ere nearly two and hall mIliloh
pounds less than the previous year
This simply means that the sea-
son of 1889 was further ad-
vanced than that Of 1883. and prlces
for the new crop being higher than
those prevailing at the same season On
any previous crop for many years past
farmers have marketed the new goods
more freely in September than ever De
fore. The time has been when pew
goods were unknown on the market
before the middle or last Of October
bnt now the improved facilities for
curing. and this year the fancy prices
prevailing for the new goods IN this
market naturally brought them IN early
and will continue so to do. The indl-
cations are that the warehouses VIII
have busy times throughout October
