LOUISVILLE. KY. January 6.-The
business done In this market In 1898
amounted TO 137OSS hOgsheads. against
lC3 ~ hogsheads in 1872, falling OF or
26,tI hcgsheads, which can only be ac-
counted for by about that quantity OF
old and double old tob1ccoS mostly dark
low grades which had accumulated FOR
years. and found an outlet during lSS2
OF the 1897 crop alone, very nearly as
much was marketed In 1893 as OF the 1891
crop in lSs, the figures being l03is9 hogs
heads OF l&2 against lJS.t1S hogsheads or
1881 crop.
Compared with all other markets.
Louisville maintains the lead for quantity
sold. and from all indications y likely 20
