Sir. George f. Waddey says "The
preparation Of plant-beds has been very
small in this part OF the tobacco district,
and the plants are very late coming mp.
Indeed, have heard of very few being
up
While the Richmond tobacco market
was quiet as 10 sales, there were no con-
cessiOns on the part of holders Manu-
f9cturers report business for the past
few days az dull Consequently sales
have been light Letters from upland
markets report all desirable cOlory to-
bacc0s much in demand al fW prices
Mr. Morris, OF Parkinson d Morris, OF
Danvillc, Va, is i'm the city. saw
large lot Of samples he has, taken from
yesterdays breaks in Danyille, with
prices marked on the tags. Considering
the indifferent quality OF the lobaccos
in the samples shown. | think the prices
very high indeed especially the prizes
of filters, ranging frx $3.50 to 1919,
were very high, in my opinion In pro
portion, the wrapper samples, at from
$40 TO 1855 were not higher than eX-
pected to see them. &. Mel.
