1ne early part of the week offerings
were very light. but they gradually in
creased until yesterday the whole town
was full of tobacco. Prices started of
rather well last Monday, owing 20 the de-
sire of the rehandleTs 10 keep at Wo"k.
but as the receipts became larger a per
ceptible decline was noticeable. The
average price for the week did not reach
s.. and is no doubt the lowest for several
years The quality of offerings showed no
improvement, and If anything, surpassed
that of last week ia inferiOrlty. Our
manufacturers were again liberal bidders
on the commOnest grades, but the supply
exceeded the demand and the market
closed from 80 to - cents lower on such
stock Lugs We're also much easier. Com
mon leaf had but few admirers Austrian
tobacco was scarce We noticed only
few piles The highest price for dark
leaf was $3.50. With the exception of a
few lots OF bright wrappers the offerings
of this class consisted entirely OF the
lower grades, which were knocked out at
about former values. We expect heavy
breaks all next week.
