Our market this week was very mac
tive. offerings were fairly large. but
the quality exceedingly undesirable. Only
a few piles OF real fine leaf was sold for
which former values were paid. Medium
leaf however, attracted less attention
than for some time past and sold lower.
There was n heavy decline in Tugs and
common leaf.
Mr.. Alex. HarthiN reports the Louis
Vile CKy) tobacco market for the week
ending Saturday, April IL, 1896, as fol-
lows:
Although receipts were by no means
very large, this week. the sales Of bur
ley for the week were on a larger scale,
with a very indifferent market for some
kinds. and equ1lly high and firm for
other sorts. all grades Of the brightest OF
new crop hurley being at present on top.
Dark tobaccos remained unchanged both
in kind. demand. and price. for what has
been offered throughout the season, with
no appearance yet OF any new broad
leaf tobacco Of any grade.

GAINESVILLE, TENN. April 0-Our
receipts this week were 1022 hogsheads:
offerings on the breaks, AZ hogsheads;
sales, 2OS hogsheads.
There was no improvement in the
quality Of the breaks. The market was
active with a more general demand
The upper grades OF Leaf continue in
eager request at firm prices. and the
lower grades OF leaf were generally a
10 &c higher. Reflections, however. con-
tinue large, and warehouse stocks IN
crease steadily. The better class OF Tugs
are sim held back from market, the Of
ferings being mainly trash and common
Tugs. The loose tobacco season seems
about closed. The fruit trees are bloom
ing sWeetly, and the swallows viii soon
herald that spring has really come.
