The early part of the week we had
fairly good season, which enabled our
rehandlers 10 strike down tobacco that
had been hanging for some time. The
additional hanging room thus gained,
however did not induce our buyers TO
more spirited bidding. The anticipation
Of large offerings next week, on the con-
trary had the effect of depressing prices,
and the market may be quoted lower
on all grades excepting real fine black
WRAPPERS. Several very fine lots of this
grade were found amongst offerings this
week and sold for an average of about
SIG There is no doubt about real fine
leaf always commanding profitable prices.
and il IS 20 be hoped that next years
of il than has been the case for a num-
Der of years back.

GAINESVILLE. TENN. April Our
receipts in March were 3,071 hogsheads;
our sales in March were 81 hogsheads;
our shipments i'm March were go hogs
heads: our stocks April LIST were 4,s57
h0gsheads, Of which sellers held 1883
hogsheads
our receipts this week were 742 hogs
heads: offerings. 2G9 hossheads; sales,
155 hogsheads.
The breaks showed much poor quality
this week The Tugs were poor and un-
changed in price. but the market was
active and stronger in price upon all
sorts Of useful leaf, CHASING from com
mon leaf upwards.
Sellers still draw back from the mar
ket, and offer but small percentage
OF receipts, apparently looking for bet
ter results later on, consequently our
sellers stocks have increased some 34OO
hcgsheads in past two months, and
there is even some speculative feeling in
the market. A wa. with the Spanish
Hidalges seems not TO enter into the
western bulls calculations, though .he
bull always dies when the Spanlard draws
the sword. The loose market remains
quiet and dull.
We quote common Tugs at Sl25 10 s. 30.
medium Tugs at 81 to 49,. good Tugs
at $3.50 10 S4.5O common leaf at $3.50 70
