REVIEW OF THE WEEK.
The Journals Report OF the Winston
Tobacco Market.

Tobacco Market.
Tobacco comes in slowly, but under
the circumstances this is best. Trade
is at 4 stand-still in many respects;
prices on tobacco must suffer in con-
sequence and those planters who are
able TO hold their stock should do SO
During the past week some good sales
Of leaf were made, including several
lots of extra fine filters which were
taken by home manufacturers at good
prices. Some rich mahogany oilers
were also sold at prices which seemed
very satisfactory. However until
things boom up and money gets easier
we expect to see light sales. This
state of affairs viii no doubt throw
heavy sales into the latter part Of the
the summer.
Reports from the growing crop are
quite lattcrinC. Plants are growing
off quite rapidly and tobacco is look
ing we'll all over the bright belt. The
acreage is considerably reduced, but
the condition of the crop is very much
above the average.
Manufacturers seem to be doing
fair business and report collections Il
degree better than last week. Orders
are slow, but iobBcrs are taking out
their contract stock at about the usu-
al rate. The following stamp sale
shows the shipments for the week:

in South Carolina, where Mr. Averill was
appointed receiver. Judge Roney also APP
pointed him receiver for the property in

its decision this morning, affirming the
decision of Judge Roney in appointing

DIRECTUM BEATS sALAD1N.
The First Heat of the Four the Only
One Captured by the PAGER.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 27.-Directum,
the champion trotter, record 2:054, de-
feated Saladin, the PAGER, record 2 s:052l,
this afternoon in a match race, on the
Point Breeze track of the Philadelphia
Driving Park Association.
Saladin, in a fine burst of speed, won
the first heat in 2:10l4. Directum took
the next three and the race, in 2104,
2:1l14 and 2:12.
The track was somewhat soft and
therefore between two and three seconds
slow. Throughout the four heats
Directum trotted perfectly, not breaking
once, whereas Saladin went into the air
at least once in each heat.
Before the first heat the betting
averaged; Directum so; Saladin $40.
After Saladin took the first heat it was
about 800 to $40 with Directum still the
favorite. Preceding the third and fourth
heats, the hackers of Directum put 500
to win $50 and S25.
The sum of 80, 500 was involved in the
match, the Directum people putting up
s. 900 against $500 of Saladin money,
and the association guaranteeing 80 900
gate receipts. Between the first and
second heats, the PAGER, Flying Jib,
driven by Kelley and urged on by run
ming horse, hitched to sulky, made a
mile in 2:0915
The fast mare Alix was also exhibited.
She trotted a mile in 2:1915, doing the last
half in :06i4.
The weather was threatening, but not
withstanding this fact crowd of $500
people gathered to see the great race,
most of them, judging by the applause,
being friends of Saladin.

follow from placing articles OH the
free list and from estimated losses which
will ensue from reductions in case i'm
pOrtation is not stimulated by lower du-
ties. Should importations be greatly
stimulated, the result might well be an
increase of the revenue. Should there be
a falling off it would be necessary to
make up the deficit in some other way.
What that way will be has not been de-
termined.
NO INTERNAL REVENUE CLAUSES.
There are no internal revenue features
incorporated in this bill, as was thought
at one time would be the case. The idea
of taxing individual incomes above "a, 900
appears to be abandoned, though it is
still contemplated to tax those flowing
from rents, corporations, inher-
itances and the like When it
will be introduced has not been
determined. 1t is thought the present
bill can hardly be gotten through the
House until after the holidays. The Sen
ate of course will consider it at length in
committee and still longer in open Sen
ate, but there is no reason to doubt its
ultimate passage through that body.

A move is on foot TO build a railroad
from Cuyler station, on the Savannah
and Western railroad, TO Statesboro-a
distance of 80 miles. Mr. j. W. Wood,
the lessee Of the county chain-gang, is one
of the promoters Of the new road. The
people here win doubtless take a lively
interest in the matter and push it to com
pletion, which will give us a direct line
to Savannah, and be one of the best pay
ing roads in the state.

ON TRIAL FOR MURDER.
A Roanoke Grocer Answering for Kill
ing Debtor.

Roanoke, Va, Nov 27.-D. II. Mitchelrs
trial for the killing of Noel G. Dyer on
Oct 6, was commenced before Judge
Woods in the hustings court to-day, be-
fore a jury composed of prominent citi-
zens Of Lynchburg. Several witnesses
were introduced by the commonwealth,
among whom were the two doctors
who were called to attend the
wounded man. The tragedy hap
pened in Mitchelrs grocery store early
in the morning. Dyer, according to the
stetem ent of Mitchell after he surren-
dered himself, owed a bill amounting to
about Sl3, which Mitchell had been en-
deavoring to collect for some time. A
dispute over the bill ensued when Dyer
entered, and, as Mitchell alleges, called
him liar, and struck him over the eye
with his fist. Dyer was seen
coming out of the store bleeding
from an ugly wound in the neck and died
fifteen minutes afterwards, after saying
that Mitchell had cut him, and that he
did not even have a pen knife to defend
himself with. A wound on the victims
arm and the cut in the neck in the evil
dence to-day, were said to have been in
fiicted by separate blows. Dyer was a
young married man, employed in one of
the railroad offices here.

says: From reports made by officers of
the Lehigh Valley railroad at this end of
the line this morning, the strike is not
only all over with, but the brakemen have
asked to be reinstated, and have been
taken back and promoted in some in
stances. The most interesting feature
of all is that they have been taken
back as union men, and not as individuals.
That was done on the ground that the
brakemen are members of the Switch
mems Mutual Aid association, which or
ganization, according to Yardmaster
Lamb, has no grievance with the rail-
road, ana with which the road has had
no difficulty whatever"
