last two days or SEPTEMBER, ISS, are Is
timated; with this exception the reports
here presented are official and correct:
The DanviIle Market
The report from Danvile is as follows:
Sales of dark loose tobacco are 49,Zl5OO
pounds, compared with the high-water
mark OF 49 44,7n pounds, the exact
figures for the year ended October /, 1873.
President Hughes is OF opinion that but
for the harsh, unfavorable weather OF
this week the yearly total would have
been above last years. There Is little
doubt that the talk OF the warehouse
combination, which ultimately failed TO
materiallze caused a considerable decline
i'm the sales on this market for the past
two months. The figures given represent
the actual sales on the local warehouse
floors. and take no account or tobacco

ers and brought hero 60 be handed or
worked up. An estimate OF these tobaccos
taken by Danvile dealers would bring the
total up 10 more than sixty millions for
the year. 900,
