Messrs. suhling & Co. report the Lynch
burg (Va) tobacco market for the week
ending Saturday, July .. 1898 as follows:
Since our last report receipts of tobacco
have been exceedingly light Prices TOT
common and medium grades arc being
well sustained. OF the better types OF
tobacco only a fw piles are being offered.
These, though not bringing what they
did early In the season. are being knocked
out at prices which appear under the cir
Cumstanccs fairly satisfactory 70 sellers.
The growing crop I'm some sections is
suffering for rain. but. on the whole, the
outlook for the 1898 crop is rather fav-
orable.

Mr. Alex Harthnl reports the Louisville
(Ky1 tobacco market for the week end
ing Saturday July .. 1S9S. as follows:
New Burley.-With offerings on only
two days this week. the total Of new and
old was only 59l hogsheads. against SOB
hOgshcads last week and 2.JgS hOgsheads
same week in 1897. and 3,2D2 in 1906 the
sales this week being the smallest for
many years past.
In the offerings this were there was a
larger proportion OF good to select leaf
than offered for a long time past. which
met active competition at higher prices.
The market generally. for al grades, be-
ing firm throughout the week.
GAINESVILLE. TENN. July 7.-our
short crop Is beginning 10 tell upon the
receipts, which We're only 4G2 h0gsheads
for the week. The offerings were 500
hogsheads. and public sales 4S5 hogs
heads
The breaks still run low In grade and
poor In quality. and we cannot expect
any decided Improvement during the re-
mainder OF the season. The market was
active and firm on good qualities OF leaf
and Tugs. but dull and irregular on Door
and nOndescript sorts. causing large re-
jectiOns OF these kinds, the prices being
much below the views OF owners.
The weather so far continues favorable
for the crop in the field. some Of which
viii ripen early. and a portion quite late.
being very Irregular in size OF plants.
