pleased to say that the Improvement seems
Ito be permanent. Your Rheumatic Cure

sales, with better attendance and result
than has been known for years.
Sun-cured tobacco is very strong A
large manufacturer said he could double
his money on most of his purchases In
the leaf state bought four months ago.
Why not advocate and execute an eX-
cursion premium sale for our true and
tried sun-cured tobacco-planters? Our old
friends near by US would have this benefit.
Why not manage for such a sale, con-
nected with the retail merchants excur-
sion here. Let the farmer keep up the
interest in tobacco at home and on the
Richmond market Bring something to
sell, and they will have something TO buy
with, and that gives warehouses. factory
hands, and tobacco-buyers all something
to do. besides.

ed to rs 7-sG7s All sorts OF rumors were
afoat TO account for the sensational
movements In the stock, and the enormous
dealings. 1t was said that movement
was on foot to settle the existing differ
ences with the company's western COM
petitors, and that the company intended
to resume dividends on the common at
an early date. Both OF these stories met
with some official denials, and late in the
day the street finally settled down to the
opinion that the recent wide fluctuations
were due to manipulation by people al
legged to have inside connections.
One rumor was 10 the effect that a
southern director Of the company. finding
the stock heavily oversold, inaugurated
a campaign against the bears. and had
compelled a Washington firm with a big
