the largest patronage that any house

due to hard work on part of the pro-
prietors and their ass ,ciates. to their
splendid accommodations, to the fact
that Webb, the best auctioneer in the
world, does his own auctioneering find

The Tobacco Crop.

1t is now estimated that fully three
fourths of the 1891 tobacco crop in
the Piedmont section he's been mar
keted. The amount of leaf already
sold in Winston is placed at about
$4,000, 900 pounds. Upon a basis of
the above figures it is evident that
as much if not more leaf will be sold
in Winston this year than last.
A number of farmers with whom
the reporter has talked say that there
will not be as much tobacco planted
this year as last.

The Tobacco Market.

Receipts for the week have been
only fairly large, and have had but
little to break the monotony of same.
Eess as to quality, color or prices,
says the Southern Tobacco Journal.
While some fine dark filters have been
on sale, the preponderance has been
common and damaged stock, with
no rich dark mahogany wrappers and
but few brights of any kind. There
are no complaints about plants from
the rural districts, and we presume
preparations are going on for a
smaller planting than last year, as
the present prices and dullness with
the Southern trade in plug do not
encourage a large output this year.
Shipments of plug continue only
fair, as shown by report of stamp
sales below:
