RICHMOND TOBACCO MARKET

Richmond. Va, August -, 1885,
The summary Of business this week and
month would be larger but for several
parties Withholding sales TO report later.
IL is to the interest OF the tobacco trade
TO have transactions show up In the
greatest magnitude always, which has
always been the policy Of all other mar
kets to advantage.
Private sales to-day: Smokers, 3; bright
filters, Z; bright scrap, a.; dark leaf, 20,
dark Tugs, 2. Total, 70 hogsheads.
Revenue collections today We're: On
cigars and cigarettes, SLS52.45; on tObac-
co, s6S3.3l. Total, j5.53j79.
Auction sales on Change, 16i hOgsheads;
81 highest price; market strong.
Transactions for the week foot up light
but aggregate well for this month. The
features for the month have been good
sales OF scrap; less life I'm dark 6rades;
better sales of filters for export in 0r.gnts,
with increased inquiry. and some good
sales for wrappers. Besides this, atten-
ton of the trade is being directed to the
new crop. OF which late reports re only
rcaitrmative OF previous ones, that the
1896 brights are light-weights. defective in
quality and flavor, very deficient In
wrappers and filters and smarty flea-
bitten, with only here and there more
hattering prospects. Dark tobacco fares
somewhat better, and can stand out
later, but II, too, is badly fred and cur
tailed by the drought. and will be largely
luggy. There Is much complaint in Ok
ford and other North Carolina markets OF
low prices and common tobacco already.
and number of buyers are shifting TO
new markets this season. The market
for old Will hardly be affected for some
time by the foregoing conditions, unless
general business improvement should
ensue.
Among visitors to-day were Messrs. n.
r. Bowman, Lynchburg, Va, with Mr..
J. S. Eddy, who is looking after ma
chinery, etc, for the Ligget d Myers
Company; J. w. Hines Rocky Mount,
n. c.; S. w. Venable, Petersburg, Va.

for wheat were not as sensible OF the
news sent from there yesterday nor OF
the advance which the news caused In
our market. az traders expected. and for
that reason the people who bought here,
ard who were contentedly awaiting the
advance which they argued must como,
had wheat for sale at the opening. and,
