Mr.. Albert Kramer, Of Durham. WAS on
f(fhcuOa fn-dav Lpaaliuy ~ the Durnnm
t0pacco market, he said; we are having
very full receipts down there. and an active
demand for all classes Of tobacco which are
grown in that section. ! think about one
third OF the crop that is tributary 10 Durham
has been sold. We have our best t0sacc0s
10 market yet. that is tobacc0s Of sub
stance, suitable for the plug trade. The to-
baccOs that are now beisg marketed, in
point Of color, are behind those OF the re-
ceipts preceding the holidays, the tObaccOs
that are now being marketed do not show
that high color that the t0baccos marketed
earlier in the season did, being Of the early
cutting, but that which j. yet 10 come in has
more body and substance. The crop is a
short one, and we expect 10 see an active de-
mand until IL is exhausted. Prices are firm,
but not extraordinarily high, all t0baccos
are bringing their full value"

II is said there will be a meeting OF
"BOnsack's Cigarette Machine Company"
in the city Of Lynchburg, tomorrow (22d
instant), and a stormy scene is expected,
az there has been a lively struggle for
proxies. Among other business which II is
alleged will be transacted at this meeting,
will be an increase OF 30 per cent. in the
capital stock Of the company. II is also
rumored that this company has succeeded
in obtaining complete and exclusive con-
troll Of the patent right and franchise Of
other cigarette machine companies, which
promised 10 enter the manufacturing field
as lively competitors Of the BOnsack
Cigarette Machine Company.
The Richmond tobacco market was
rather quieter to-day than on yesterday,
still with the loose tobacco sales, sales Of
tObaccOs at auction on Change and the
private sales, the market displayed ac-
tivity. The feeling in wrappers, filters and
cutters is decidedly strong and bullish,
with good inquiry. &. Mel.
