Our Ny. Charles W. BONNER reports the
Lynchburg NaJ tobacco market for the
week ending saturday November 10. 1sJs
AS follows.
The undesirablcncss Of the 1898 tobacco
crop for certain export purposes was sun
further exempnhed during the past week.
Our offerings were quite large, and they
may be looked upon as an indication Of
what later receipts may promise. There
ls no doubt that ana unusually large crop
was set out. The large quantity of house
burned tobacco seen on our breaks or late
is causing much comment. This house
burn may iu a measure be caused by
some particular element In this year 5
crop OF tobacco, bat We believe S. IS
chiefly due 10 OvcrcrOwding OF the barns
which was necessitatcd by the scarcity
OF suitable curing room and the belief Of
the average farmer that the tobacco has

the tobacco before one can expect To get
"a solid color such as Is required for black
wrappers and Austrian and Italian
grades but this fermenting can easily be
overdone, and this year II certainly has
been.
The crop this year IS decidedly lacking
in body and gummincss. II has length
enough and sood color for reggie pur-
poses, but Otherwise 10 is not a desirable
crop.

ending Saturday November ~. 1S9S. as
follows:
The hurley market this week showed a
good deal more of tho oid-tme activity
and interest consequent on the largest

season OF the lS9S crop. which engaged
the attention OF all classes Of buyers
comprising representatives, OF the large
and small manufacturers. rchandlcrs and
speculative dealers The character OF
some of the red leaf and Jugs offered.
