The 1890 dark crop has all been mar
keted and for tho past three weeks our
small offerings have been made up Of new
brights and new dark primings. Most Of
our rehandlers have closed up for the
season. and are either OF on a vacation
or bugv ,ndeavOring 10 sell what stock
they have left on hand. All fine tnbaccos
have heen dlsposef Of az fairly good pro-
fts Filters FOR home trade have also been
pretty well placed. Untll recently Tugs
have been dull and only few sales have
been made The anticipated demand for
Bremen grades has not materallzed as
vet. and the bulk Of tobacco now on hand
here was put up with view Of such an
outlet
The encouraging prospect early IN the
season for an unusually me crop Of to-
hacco has been irrevocably dispelled by
tho long drought and excessive heat The
Weld has been materially curtaied-we
would say az least one-third. Short.
heavy-bodied filters VIII be plentiful but
long, leafy Tugs and me shipping leaf are
OF the crop has been cut and housed. and
Is curing up NICELY
