The firm Is composed OF our Messrs J.. -.
Strause and Joseph b. Montgomery. The
former is and has been a dealer IN me
bright tobaccos on this and the interior
tobacco markets for the past TWENTY-FIVE
years, and the latter has been associated
with our Mr. William Henry Jones Tor the
last seventeen years. Each OF the gentle
mon composing the new firm are too well
known 10 the trade 10 need any special
introduction or encOmiums from us,
farther than to say they are young, active
enterprising merchants, and IN greeting
them we desire 10 express the hope that
they attain the highest success in their
new business venture. This does not al
feet the concern of l.. J.. Strause, which
will continue business as heretofore.

Onerings this week were fairly large.
and consisted almost exclusively OF new
darks and brights. The breaks We're well
attended. and prices for all grades or
brights were we'll sustained. The new
dark offerings were rather undesirable,
in that they lacked body and substance.
and were of a pale dingy color. The
farmers generally market their poorest
and meaness tobaccos first We do not
think, therefore. that what appeared upon
the breaks is fair criterion OF what
the 1897 crop really is. The recent rains
IL is stated. has also been Of benefit TO the
tobacco. in that IL caused the color 10
run. Next week we look for heavy re-
ceipts. and a better estimate can then be
formed of the quality OF the crop Prices
started off very high for Tugs and common
leaf.
