The Tobacco Growers house has
joined the Exchange, and the war be-
tween that house and those known as
the Exchange houses is over. Seven
of the directors of the Growers house
at once rendered their designations,
alleging that they could no longer act
with the house under lis change of
policy. The majority of the stock
holders Of the Growers house thought
the action necessary because the house
had been losing money lately, since
they had been able TO secure very few
buyers to attend their sales. There is
some talk Of starting new house by
those opposed to the change of policy
in the Growers house.
