Mr.. Parker r. Conrad. of the old estab-
lished firm Of j. VI. COnrad's Sons, tobacco
commission merchants, returned % the city
this morning from Ashevile. \. G.. In
speaking Of that tobacco market Mr.. Con-
rad said (. "Ihey had fall breaks there on
Tuesday and Wednesday. The tobacco
about as mean as ! ever saw il in my life
The breaks consisted chiefly Of thin, poor,
green. n0ndescript tObaccOs. Barely one
per cent, / would say, Of the receipts there
are wrappers.
at is estimated by the most conservative
people that fully one-halfto twO-thirds Of the
crop has been marketed, and the color and
quality Of the crop has been nOticeably de-
day by day, anything with pre-
tence 10 color and character selling at out
side prices, while common nondescript to-
DaccOs were higher, considering the quality
and condition, than ! ever saw them before
IN my experience
Messrs. John *. Gnleat & Co. report
'more enquiry for Virginia brights, both
eaf and strips, and some parcels changed
hands az full prices. The new bright crop
has undoubtedly good color, but seems de-
icient i'm length and substance"

price Of the season being attained, s62, and /
