report in THE TIMES OF the 18Th
instant. | am quoted as saying, i am
satisfied that oxford and Henderson have
each sold half of the tobacco they VIII sell
this YEAR which might imply that rs tobae-
90 markets they had sold half they would
sell. when in fact | only intended to speak
of the tobacco section Immediately around
those markets, and not presuming to know
anything as to the quantity OF tobacco lhef
may sell rs markets. Hoping You may see
the need Of this little correction, ana thank
inc Won for cOurtesics while in your city I
am your, truly, X. u. LEA
I'm this connection I want % say, that
am under obligations 10 gentlemen VINO
give me their views on their respective
markets. and tobacco in general. ! try
.tudiously 10 give correct statements, but
don't claim TO bee infallble, and when a
mistake occurs am always ready 10 make
the proper amend. and will be obliged to
those who are kind enough 10 call my At
tenti0n To- errors when they occur
