DanyiIIe Dealers Depressed by the
Dubious Outlook.

cal trade calendar as the tobacco year. to
February 2S. inclusive. amounting 10 20
2l4,S47 pounds. being 5l4.555 pounds more
than was sold in the same period of the
last tobacco year. For the past week the
receipts of leaf tobacco from all parts OF
the bright tobacco belt of Virginia and
North Carolina have been very large and
the warehouses had an exceedingly busy
week. The varied and conflicting rumors
in regard to the practical consolidation OF

Union Tobacco Company of America de-
moralized the market no little. and the
final confirmation of the deal was very de-
pressing.

tobacco has been from time immemorial
Danyille's mainstay, and the general
sentiment is that the great consolidated
trust has seriously crippled that industry
so far as its general benefits are concerned
strenuous efforts are being made TO con-
centrate Danville energy In other direc-
tions To this end a company is being
formed 10 be a kind of Credit Mobilier'
