Our offerings this week were very small
and the market presented very quiet
and undressing appearance
Few or our planters discriminate prop
erly betwees ripe asd unripe plants. and
as result much tobacco Is cut this
season I'm an immature condition. The
recent hot spell ctused much tobarcO TO
lire This the farmer went n 10 har-
vest, but. as a rule. before he got through
the whole field would be cut indiscrimi-
nately. Much complaint is heard OF the
worm and flea and altogether the crop
is FAR from being as promising as IL was
some time ago
The United states Department Of Agri-
culture in its report Tor August, lSJO,
says. under heading OF tobacco.
The average condition Of this crop has
fallen . points since July LIST, ana is now
So. The August condition last year
was So. The chief cause l0werine tho
condition is seen to be the decline lu the
heavy producing tates-kentuchy. North
Carolina, and Ohio. In other important
sections conditions are high, having gem
orally been sustained or improved during
July.
some complaint is heard I'm southern
districts OF quality and curing condition
OF the leaf, due mainly TO excessive ralus.
