passed more bills than any previous

tlnguished his veto power by veto,

Ninth Congress.

little pretentions to wrappers, be-
ing intended more for leafy bright
filters. Many have kept color
well, and speculatively have been
bright, and sold around at II to
224 cents in the past few weeks.
There remains 500packagesnon-
descripts, damaged, faded faeto-
ry remnants and doubleand trip
| pie old stock, so that the really
serviceahle and desirable grades
are in a small proportion to the
whole. The repeated visits OF
interior Virginia and North Car
DINA manufacturers as buyers on
our market will soon reduce this
stock of better grades. All of us
are being more and more con-
WINGED that the quality and the
color is vainly looked for in new,
while the price of old is still rela,
lively cheap, and therefore will
be preferable.
1t is astonishing how the CON-
mon sound filler grades have late
