HOPKINSVILLE, KY, June 22.-Re-
ceipts and sales this week were very
light. The offerings consisted very
largely OF nondescript and damaged to-
baccos, which were lower In price than
heretofore. But the few hogsheads Of
Bremen style that appeared sold at very
full and satisfactory prices. Nearly
all OF the most desirable tobacco has
now been marketed, and We do not ex-
meet 10 see much more Of inviting charac-
ter during the remainder OF the season.
There seems TO be much diversity OF
opinion as TO the area OF new crop al

they had too much rain, or not enough,
