rohacco Market at Mullins.

MULLINS. $. C., August 5.-tspeciai)
The Mullins market opened on "edhss-
aay for the sale Of leaf tobacco under
the most g.ng circumstances
Buyers and warehousemen from Lynch-
burg. Richmond. Danyille, Wilson. OAR
lingtcn. and other points were represent.
cd here on the breaks Wednesday, ana
were lib raj bidders.
Mullins draws tobacco from Columbus
Robertson. Marion. and Hory counties,
and owing to the fact that the fee-dee
river cuts the farmers OF from other
markets. they will certainly sell ell tbs
tobacco grown in these counties. The to-
bacco has excellent color. and contains
more wrappers than most counties In TINS
State.
Prices were entirely satisfactory To all
the planters. the highest price paid being
u cents per pound II Is only matter
OF very few days when n number 81
large orders will be placed In Mullins.
They will have bi-weekly sales, and will
take care Of all tobacco purchased there.
Wednesdays sales moved on without
hitch. and the warehouse was twice hiied,
with good prices ruling throughout.

The prospect for wheat has hardly i'm
proved this week, though the price has

decidedly increased. but are only S,95.5aO
bushels against g. i0S.2B last year, and
Atlantic exports are only l.313.35G for the

exports have been only 4.3GS.5N bushels.

over to the new-crop year. which begins
with next week. Whether exaggerated OF
not. reports Of injury have impressed
traders. and the purchases In three days
have amounted TO 9'5 $50 bales. The price
has advanced 20 Sl9. and as there IL no
large supply Of actual cotton available at
this time the market price can be easily
moved. But II the yield Is IA short a
buyers believe, II IS not n good sign Tor
business at the South. since the abuni-
ance Of old cotton in foreign markets
must hinder exports at high prices during
the very months In which planters are
forced to sell most Of their product. Al
ready dispatches indicate that the re;aii
trade at many southern points IS slack.
The volume of domestic trade is but
slightly better than in the previous week
exceeding this years by lSS per cent
against lG3 for earlier weeks OF the
month. and falling 81 per cent below lSsZ'
