offerings of loose Yesterday were only
larger. and the general char
actcr of tho tobacco was as heretofore
cp0red-namely, the bulk of them
either low grades or nOndescript For
the latter kinds we have no change 20
note except in very poor and common
Jugs. which we thought sold some better
Except for fair and good grades of leaf
and Tugs prices keep very unsatisfactory
t0 growers of tobacco, and we fear that
will be the case all through the season.
Sic quote the better grades of leaf at
$3.50 20 ST. Several piles of very good
brown leaf sold yesterday at from 500
i1 $1,000 one pile bought for shipping,
