With the weather we are now having
tho growing crop cannot do otherwise
than flourish.

The breaks showed no Improvement IN
! quality OF the leaf.
The demand from Bremen continues
strong which keeps the upper grades
OF decided quality al top notch; the lower
| grades Of leaf and Tugs We're irregular
! and az times easier.
! The unsold stocks stl increase some
what. and contain u large percentage Of
! lUes and the poorer sorts of lear. Con-
tcntment must reign with the Spanish
! Reggie. as this crop gives continual feast.
This region for several weeks has been
