TOBACCO RECEIPTS.
The receipts of leaf tobacco this week
were smaller than for several weeks past,
the total loose sales amounting to only
500, 1882 pounds, which brought an average
price of $l1.4S per hundred.
There was some change for the better II
! the tone of the market and better ave
rage would have been made but for the
, fact that much of the stock offered was IN
bad order. Good, sweet working stock
wrappers were also in more active demsnt
| with prices somewhat better.
Several large foreign orders for cutter
| came in, which threw increased animation
| in this grade and figures were pushed up I
little. On the whole the market wa
firmer than last week.
