Leaf Tobacco Association.

The annual meeting of the Leaf Topac-
co Association of Baltimore. was held re-
Gently at the office of Dudley s. Carpenter.
Three of the nine directors are elected
every year. Those chosen were Messrs.
James A. Dawkins, W. H. Moore and
Henry Lauts.
The report of the President and Secrc
tary was in part as follows
The past year has resulted, briefly sum
med up, in high prices for medium and
good grades Of Maryland, and extremely
low prices for common grades. The crop
amounted to 5000 hogsheads, and was
the third successive one containing an
abnormally large proportion OF common
grades. These were almost unstable un-
til August, when holders, in view of their
constantly increasing stocks, decided to
sell sound common MARYLAND at and 14c.
This price broke all previous records of
this market, and was sufficiently invitin G
| to induce European consumers, although
already heavily stocked with our common
STauCS W cuIcI Guc Iltti hCt llCCl anu ehC
| accumulated stock was largely disposed
of at these figures. Medium and better
grades on the other hand, were in excel
lent demand during the whole season at a
| relataiely high range of prices, to which
the large proportion taken by the French
| II 900 hogsheads contributed.
| We believe that these grades will continue
during the year to find prompt purchasers
| at about present values, while for COM
mon the prospect for an improvement in
prices is very slight. We would, there
fore, suggest to growers to give their es-
| pccial attention to raising better crop,
and not to pack their inferior tobacco.
The groundleaf crop was about 1000
hogsheads Of unusually good character
and color, and found ready sale. The
stock of Maryland tobacco in warehouses
| on December 81, 1895, was 12,s06 hogs
heads, of which 6,130 were in the hands of
sellers The inconvenience and injury in
the tobacco trade, and the loss to the State
of Maryland resulting from the INSULT
cient capacity of the three state tobacco
warehouses to accommodate the crop,
continued this year to as great an extent
as heretofore

His only reply was to crouch low over
the saddle and dig his spurs tiercely into
the flank of his mount. The horse re-
sponded CALAMITY and shot obliquely into
the gloom. The sharp crack of Il rife
sounded close by and a bullet whistled
over the young riders head, followed by
the shrill cry of the guard, which grew
fainter and finally died out as Henry
plunged through the cedar thickets. Long
before the first faint streaks of dawn il
lumined the sky Il song of JOY arose in his
heart, when his eyes caught the pickering
lights Of Murfreesboro. With only
thoughts of his suffering wife and new
born little one in his mind, he rode boldly
forward and plunged headforemost into

was no chance to return. A dozen long
squirrel rifles We're levcled at his head and
the husky voice of the first sergeant in
gray commanded him to advance. He
rode forward with his head erect, but his
heart sinking within him. On the very
threshold of success he saw his mission
iiuttering idly to the ground.

up proudly and turned to 90, but Il word
from his chief arrested him. Evidently his
