Mcssrs. Smiling & co. report the
Lynchburg. Va, tobacco market Tor Jne
week ending Saturday, January - le9o'
as follows:
week caused unusually heavy receipts on
Tuesday. Wednesday n Thursday. The
majority of the better long tobdccos Of
fered was again more OF the Reggie or
der. The competition OF these tobaccos
is not as large as 10 was IN former years,
but. Notwithstanding TINS. prices were
fairly uniform, though, of course, con-
sidcrably lower % last season. COM
mon Tugs were rather scarce ana solu
i'm comparison 10 last years prices az
very high figures. Nothing was knocked
out under $50. 4 fair lug, though only
of moderate length, readily sold Tor 40
TO S32J. Good Tugs brought from 500
to 81. TObaccOs suitable FOR Bremen
were unchanged in price. Heavy bodied
solid brown filters continue IN good de-
mand az former quotations. The crop is
not especially adapted for stemming, but
still more strips are being put up than
has been the case for several years.
From interviews had with a large num-
her of farmers. we believe that nearly
onc-half Of the crop is sold. owing TO
the favorable weather many OF the farm
ors have already burnt their plant-beds.

GAINESVILLE. TENN. Jan. 2o.-Our
receipts this week were 40 hessheads;
offerings, 212 hogsheads; sales. 15i hogs
heads.
The breaks showed no Improvement in
-.a.Tts.r a.nafuf1nr mainly Of DuUr Some
new tobacco appeared. but of the lower
grades. except a small lot Of upper Cum
berland tobaccos. some OF which had
great length and show, which. though
bringing ncarly 10 cents. were rejected.
The market was generally firm for all
useful sorts. but was easier on poor Tugs
and those out of condition.
The weather has been very rainy and
all watercourscs are now near flood
height. The loose tobacco market IS
quiet. but firm. We quote:
