hecH veil sustained, with no abatement
of interest on the paIt Of the buyers
The demand for all grades is good and
! will continue so until the bulk of the
crop is sold. If we understand the situ-
alton there is no good reason to expect
lower prices, unless we have unmistaka-
BILE proof that the 1892 crop will be a
large one, or at least full average crop.
The present receipts do not show that
improvement in quality that we expected
10 have seen, bat we are still of the
opinion that the best class Of fine tobacco
raisers, who never sell their best tobacco
until summer, will bring in their better
grades. and there will be larger per
cent Of good tobacco in'the receipts from
this time until the crop is sold, than there
has been in the past. This, however, is
only our opinion. Others may think diff
ferently and they may be correct.
