ANNUAL MEETING OF TRADE

The plant OF the Independent Snuff
Company. Of this city, formerly con-
trolied by Ar. PasacI Davie, who died
a snort while ago, will be closed down
Within the past week or two the bust
ness OF the snuff company has passed
into the hands of the American Snuff
Company, the big combination allied with
the Consolidated Tobacco Company. The
consideration was $1S,545, the building
not being included in the sale. In making
the purchase it was the purpose of the
American Company merely to get the
Independent Snur Company Oft the field
and out of the way. Hence the business
Will be wound up. the plant will be
closed and the brands will probably be
cancelled.
Tnis, it is said, leaves no independent
snuff concern in Virginia as a rival to
the trust.
Inc annual meeting of the Richmond
Tobacco Trade will be held about the
nrst of next October.
The past year wit hthe trade has been
in many respects an unusual one. The
crop of tobacco was rather small, but it
brought more money than for several
years back. The prices were extremely
high and kept up unusually well.
1t is generally believed that Mr.. c. D.
Larus will be reelected president of the
Trade if he Will consent to serve again
The other officers will also probably b2
reelected.
Letters received by Mr.. Silas Shelburne,
proprietor of Shelburne's Warehouse,
bring highly gratifying news concerning
the prospect for securing shipments of
bright tobacco to Richmond. If every
thing goes well the next four or five
weeks ought to see considerable activ
ity in this variety of the weed.
One letter comes from a drummer
whom Mr. Shelburne has put into the
bright belt. He writes under the date
of September ID and says that he has
just returned from q visit to Charlotte
County Court. He expresses himself as
being greatly encouraged at the outlook
there and some time ago he said the
same thing for Lunenburs. There is
every prospect of large shipments from
both counties. The tobacco, however,
will not begin to move for about three
weeks yet The crop is late and curing
has just begun.
There viii probably be another sale OF

Announcement is made that the general
freight Offices of the Southern Railroad
will be removed from Washington. where

to Atlanta The change in the location
Of this. probably the most important Of
fee of the Southern will be finally con-
spn1raatcd about the first OF next month,
steps III this direction already having
been made
Ever since the Southern first came into
existence the general freight offices have
been located in Washington, despite the
fact that Atlanta has always been re-
sarded as the logical place for such head
quarters no less than six different i'm
portant divisions of the Southern enter
ing that city and it has been rumored
upon numerous occasions that the offices
would be transferred from Washington to
Atlanta. Each time, however. the rumor
has turned out to be false, the officials
stating they had no idea of changing the
location Of the general freight Offices.
A month or so ago the rumor became
current again in local railroad circles, but
again it was denied by those supposed to
he in a position to know. But since that
time it has developed that the Offices are
really to go TO -Atlanat, and an official
bulletin announcing this change has al
ready been issued from the Office OF Pres
ident Spencer.
