Mr.. Leon l. S.raus, (of Slraus &
Raabl has Just returned from a visit to
! the North Carolina tobacco centres. aud
in speaking of his trip said ." went
/ to Durham. Henderson and Oxford.
/ The breaks were not as large last week
as they were the week before. The
character of the tobacco on the breaks
was reIy INDEPENDENTLY WhHe to-
bacco8-but the qualityof the wrappery
tobacco was min aud lacking IA bOdy.
! The cutters were exceptionally fne. |
found this TO be the case on all Of the
markets. Prices. considering the guam
tity and quality of this crop, were rely
high."
Mahogany wrappers and good tough
| waXy filters are reIy scarce. If the
breaks continue as large as they have
been up TO this time we are bound to
see lower prices.
Mr. w. A. Branton. ST.. who has
been farming in Amelia county about
thirty years. says. Il live on the cor
ner of three counties-Amelia. POwha-
tan ard Cumberland-and have ample
opportunity Of observing the crops III
those counties. / told Mr.. William
Hobson. when was at his house last
/ Thursday. that | don't think we Will
have over hair crop in Amelia and
| Powhatan. He said / was mistaken:
that i'm bis opinion we wouldn't have
over 80 per cent. of a crop. | have
no. 900 hills. which is about my usual
planting. but ! don't think | viii make
but very little orer hair a crop, and mine
is as good as any tobacco ! have seen. '
Mr. Charl IS Attkisson. representing
Vaughan & Sarvay, has just returned
from louisa Court. having passed
through Henrico Hanover and Louisa
counties. and reports not over One-half
of last year tobacco crop. These gen
temeu having thoroughly canvassed
the red loose tobacco belt give it as
their humble opinion that in this dis
/ trict the crop Is the smallest they have
ever DnOwn. and that in the past the
red loose tobacco receipts have gener-
auv been indicative Of the inspections
OF size Of the Virginia tobacco crop.
From the Bug0lo Express we clip the
/ following:
