TOBACCO DEPARTM ENT.

Yesterday being Whit-MoLday there
were no transactions at the Richmond
Tobacco Exchange.
Mcssrs. Dlbbrcll Brothers wrote the
following from DaLville under date Of
last Saturday.
We have bad full breaks all the eek.
With the exception Of MONDAY and to-
day our sales have not gotten around.
The quality has been a disappointment
to us all. In the line of good iiileIs
there has teen some improvement. We
have had a very desirable lice Of good
filters. suitable Tor the wants OF cur
own manufacturers We are glad that
there will be but htilc difficulty in our
manufacturers keeping their brands up
TO the usual high standard. Coed
wrappers q ala grades and cutters
have been scaicer tnan we ever saw In
such large quantity Of tobacco as We
have sold here this week. There have
been few crops OF Nd on the market
this week. out # which there have
teen had some quite fine wrappers.
With this exception, and cf some round
lots belonging d shippers. We have had
as small a quantity OF gccd iobaccOs.
of wrapper and cutter t9Ie. as we ever
saw.
Prices ON wrappers show c0nsilera-
file advance. Cutters can be said TO be
easier. Bright granUlatDg lugs have
Quctuated some little. but cannot be
said 10 be any lower. Common aud
medium filters show no change. There
is steady, good demand by our local
manufacturer.
Though we have had a good deal Of
rain aud soft weather. yet the seasons
have not been sufficient to admit Of
striking all the stocks Of leaf that were
held by our dealeisthat were thorough
" dried out We have prospect Of more
sea- enable weather.
We have had several North Carolina
manufacturers and dealers on our mar
ket this week making purchases.
Mr.. William II. Walker, OF HendeT-
son. y. c., under date Of the eth. says 4:
Our receipts have been large all of this
week. and one day we had better to-
bacco than we have had for weeks, in
the way Of fine wrappers. They were
readily taken at prices ranging fIom
40 To so dollars. We have had a large
quantity Of good to fine mahogany FIJI
lers. and there is "a better demand for
san cured stock: this era e has been
more abundant, selling at from 10
l2l cents.
We hear az stocks changing hands
here every week. and there Is "a general
good feeling existing In The trade.
The weather Is rather uufavOIabie fer
plant; rights TOO cool for them to
grow fast.
We have had no r chmond papers
since Friday last.

Vile. have commenced work OD their
