| The receipts of dark showed no improve
men, in quality. The bulk was made up
of the most undesirable stuff seen here

Knocked out under 81. our manufacture
ers were only too eager to get everything
| they could at this price Lues though
free OF dirt but inferior TO even last
| years crop as far as color and body,
and quality was not considered, appeared
reasonable in price in comparison 10 otEer
grades. Better grades OF leaf were ac-
live, and sold well. Reggie buyers have
started in with a great deal Of energy,
and the few lots that appeared suitable TO
their wants were bid on in a liberal man
ner We do not think that the quality or
the crop can be estimated by what mas
been offered. our opinion is that some
very fine, serviceable tobacco was raised.
| and that later receipts will prove 1t. We
| are now having a good season.
