y REVIEW OF THE WEEK.
What the Tobacco journal Has to Say
of the Winston Market.

Receipts of leaf tobacco have been
very light this week. The weather
has been hot and dry and tobacco is
in bad condition for handling. This
fact, together with the scarcity of
stocks in the country, has given us
tue smallest weeks work for some
time.
The stock offered was in a dry state
and hard to handle generally.
Prices were up to the usual stand
ard during the week, except that there
is mid summer lethargy among buy
ers which makes things look as if they
were tagging. All good stock, how
ever. was taken at outside figures.
As to the crop there is considerable
diversity of opinion just at this time.
Mr.. A. who has a stock of leaf on hand
thinks the 90 crop will be very poor,
while Mr.. Is who wants to buy leaf
thinks the crop will be very fine,
Aside from the opinions of these bias
ed gentlemen the crop is really not. in
desirable condition just at present.
The hot and dry weather is having an
injurious effect and the outlook for a
good crop is being discounted every
day this extreme weather lasts.
In manufacturing circles there is
brisk trade. Orders are good and
some larger. Collections are fair. and
the outlook in the South brightens
daily.
The following shows the stamp sales

DON'T ASK HIM ABOUTIT.
A Winston Boy Sends His Girl the
Wrong Box.

One Of Winston's young society boys
while attending the cncampment at
Wrightsyille gathered up quite a col
lection of sca-shells, and on his return
last week decided to send them to his
best girl. Accordingly he carried the
shells to dry goods store and asked
for suitable box in which to send
them.
The dry goods man handed young
Romeo a large mems shirt box. the on
ly thing he could find sufficiently
large to hold the shells. The young
man Immediately placed his shells in
the box, and as he thought, sent it at
once to his Juliet, but it so happened
that in his excitement he exchanged
his shirt box of shells for one actually
filled with mems shirts, number of
which were piled on the counter.
1t was a fearful mistake, fact the
young man did not discover until yes
terday morning when the young lady's
father sent him note of thanks for
the present of shirts.
