LARGEST SALES
OF THE SEASON
Tobacco Sales Extended Away Into the
Afternoon and Lunch Was Served
at SheIburne's Warehouse.

The largest tobacco sales of the season
on the RichmonI market We're held yes
terday. y quantity of tobacco largely
exceeding ..lat of any other day III tina
year came in Thursday evening and
night. and was placed on the market
yesterday The sales did not conclude
until about $50 O'Clock yesterday after
noon, after about 136,G00 pounds of to-
bacco had changed hands. There is no
dmiuutioE in the high prices which hava
prevailed mere for some time. AS muclt
as $40 was received in one OF the ware
houses yesterday.
In Richmond there are four loose to-
bacco breaks. and sales are held in rota-
ton on each of them every day. Ordf-
narily the sales are over d little atrer
noon. but such was not the case yester-
day. Sheihurne's Warehouse was the last
OF the four at which the sales were held,
and it was fully $50 o'clock before the
last pile mad been dispose OF. 1t was
thought at one time that it w>uld be
necessary to adjourn the sales for dinner
and come back at them again, but other
arrangements were made. The propri-
etors OF Shelburne's served lunch on the
spot.
The tobacco warehouserleu anticipats
busy times for some days to come. Guam
titles OF .obacco equal In size to that
received yesterday are expected all dur
ing next week. and there will be great
rush on all sides. This season SO far has
been rather dull, so far as the amount
of tobacco received is concerned. and it
is specially gratifying that it is begin
ming to come III better One of the most
noticeable features of the trade at the
present time is the high price OF low
grades. Some tobacco, which has sold
at times as low as so cents, brings now
