that surrounds il ON The warehouse
floors, the tobaccos of the new crop are
very sorry, even those from Nash coun-

" If the acreage Of 1887 was not very
much larger than the acreage OF 1886, /
don't think the new crop ,lss0 will pan

Captain Parrish said some of the
farmers were putting their tobaccos on
their lands for manure, and in nay opin-
ion It would be well for all hands con-
ccrned TO PIT rwo-thirds of the new crop
on their lands as manure, instead of put
ting 1t on the markets, 2 large portion Of
the new crop, especially, that from por-
lions Of Person county being very badly
frosted.
The Richmond tobacco market Wa
dull and quiet to-day, owing, no doubt,
to lis being the first day of the month,
and much business in the way OF bal
ances, &c, occupying the attention of
our principal merchants. All reports re-
ceived tend 20 strengthen the position of
desirable old tobaccos, and we are conf
dent Of an active market with higher
prices in the near future. {. Mel.
