CONTINUE HIGH
ALL THE YEAR
Statement Issued by Messrs. Dickin-
son and SheIdburne Concerning
Prospects for Tobacco Maket.

The Richmond tobacco market closed
last week with the highest price of the
season. Never before in the history of
the trade perhaps has the same quality
OF tobacco sold so high. Inferior graGes
are going in some cases at remarkable
figures. There were good sales on all
The breaks yesterday. The highest price
received was s23.
In connection with the very unusual
activity prevailing upon the market at
the present time Messrs. Dickinson &
Shelburne have just issued circular,
which reads in part as follows:
'.Some three or four of the largest
manufactures in the world, the Cont
mental Tobacco Company, The American
Tobacco Company. the American Snuff
Company and Gallaher, of ireland, have
Just come on this market. and are MAX
ing things lively. They all have their
plants here. where they can cry out from
$4,000 to 10000 pounds a day, anG of
course they can afford to pay more
money for it on this market, and they
are doing it. The strongest demand is
for sweet tobacco, sun or air cured, and
we expect it to continue high all the year
unless the market should be glutted after
good stripping season; in that case we
would not advise you ito rush it in, as
st will sell high after Christmas and no
doubt still higher in the spring. 1t sod
this week as follows: Sand leaves and
rommon Tugs, 5 to 5 cents; medium to
good, IL to to 10 cents; fine bright Tugs
10 to IA cents; common leaf, 6 to s cents;
medium to good to IA cents; wrappers
il to 20 cents All of this class has sold
high, except the dark red one sucker
leaf which goes from 6 TO cents. Com
mon Tugs Of all classes are high rang
ing from 5 to cents for smoked. Our
exporters and zig manufacturers have
also given us a strong demand for the
dark red or brown smoked leaf, ranging
in price from 6 to Z u cents for COM
mon. IL to cents for good, Q to Il
cents for wrappers, and we can now adj
wise shipment of this class of tobacco to
this market, and believe we can make it
pay you. Very little Of the black or
olive tobacco has come in up to this
time, but what We have had has sold
well and made good averages. We think
the good grades of this class may sell
better a little later. but the common
grades are high. ranging from to IL
cents for Tugs. and from c TO 9 cents for
common to medium leaf, no good leaf
having been offered
