LOUISVILLE, ny, sept l3.-Large sales
OF low grades and Out-ol-Order hurley and
dark t0baccOs ut lower prices, all good
sweet tObaccCs sustained, with too much
rain for the good Of the growing crop, were
the leading features this week.
Burlcy The unusually large proportion
OF mixed, nondescript, trashy, and common
grades, with a great many reflections in the
offerings this week, produced more indiiler-
cnce on the part Of buyers generally, and
only strictly sweet and dry hOgsheads from
well-kn0wn reliable packers commanded
much attention, and excepting for all such,
the market was easier generally, and lower
on special STYLES and grades. That the
higher grade filters in good order and every
way desirable brought full prices, note
sales this week Of II hOgsheads from Clark
county at l6c. to 23lIc. averaged Sl9.S3; II
hogsheads from Bath county at BIC. TO
&c. averaged SSH; : hogsheads from
Montgomery county at - &C.. to 2Oc. aver
aged Sl7.2j, and e hOgsheads faVOry heavy
bodied red filters from PendletOn county at
re. 10 dc. averaged 1929; II hOgsheads
Bath county $3.50 to S22.J0, average Sli.72;
II hOgsheads medium to good Leaf average

To 2l2c., with Doc. as the highest paid this
week, all showing that such filters are in
demand and bring full prices and satisiac-
tory TO sellers. Wrappers nominal from
scarcity. Trash and common sweet filters
scarce. in demand and &c. to &c. higher.
while all soft and funked are more than
that lower and abundant. OF cutting sorts
the offerings Of sweet and dry hOgsheads
were very light, particularly strictly bright,
of which only a few hOgsheads are met with
now and then. The lower grades. which
comprised most Of the offerings, were only
"a 4 MI tfs Ktl all
higher grades being scarce were sustained.
Darks-Ihe offerings were large this
week, with only a small percentage of any
thing good enough even for Reggie leaf. For
best grade of French the demand was good
and prices sustained, while for the lower
grades, and the large offerings OF common
lugs and leaf the market was very dull, nu-
merOus hOgsheads being passed without
bids. and all grades from low Tugs to me-
dium leaf at least &c. lower as per revised
quotations. Offering large lots of such to
DaccO, while almost no one wants them,
seems TO be somewhat suicidal 10 sellers.
Green River Fillers-Otlorings at auction
light, with better demand and prices early
in the week than at the close, where reiec-
tons, at lower figures, were in order. At
auction l2c. was paid for cOlory fine redried,
while 20 hOgsheads were sold privately al
lie round, with "a few not so good at SIG.
Private sales this week embraced l34
hogsheads old and - hOgsheads new to dark
Tugs and leaf.
The reflections this week consisted largely
Of dark, nondescript and common Tugs and

Weather and Growing CrOp.-Withh heavy
rains and very cloudy weather GENERALLY
during the week, cut crops have been in
iured To same extent, and in the hurley dis
trict house-burniDg is very much feared.
Further cutting has been suspended almost
everywhere. Tobacco has commenced TO
take second growth, and fair weather, with
sunshine, during the next thirty days Is
very necessary 10 secure desirable crop,
with some probability of iIost in the mean
time. Worms are reported very bad, but
growers are using every effort TO check
them and to secure what is generally be-
lieyed 10 Dee a very fine crop in the field,
more particularly Southern Kentucky and
Tennessee. The crop in Missouri will be
small one, with topping begun in Charlton
county.
4 cold wave from the Northwest brought
very cold weather, with rising barometer
