PLANTERS FACE ICEY BLASTS
wagon Loads Of Tobacco Sought

Wagon Loads Of Tobacco Sought
the Warehouses Last Night.
When good prices prevail planters bring
In their tobacco In spite of anything.
The p1ucky Virginia farmers have been
known to cross the James river on the
frozen ice and snow IN their efforts to
get their dark weed on the market. Last
night some Of them faced cheerfully the
chill blast from the North and whipping
up their teams came into the city on
the run.
Farmers report the roads so bad that
1t is hard to market the tobacco especial
~ II 1t be grown at a distance. At PRES
ent they are only partially frozen and
the wagon wheels break through the
crust, making ii hard pulling for the
animals. Most OF the planters. however.
have lightened their loads and augment
ed their teams. sometimes with one lead
er and sometimes with two beasts.
In the dim light OF the warehouses last
night only few wagons and faces were
seen. The horses were sheltered from
the blast and the men joking about the
FIRES The planters say that many. are
holding back their tobacco to learn the
state Of the market: should the prices
prove attractive the weed from now OF.
will come in quantities. for more than
one half. or about one half the crop stiII
remains In the country.
ST Warehousemen here say that prices are
satisfactory and much tobacco IS expect
/ ed within the next few days because due
ring the two weeks that the market was
closed the planters had season in

Seem to Have Disappeared.

and receiver Of the w r. Trigg Com.
pany, Mr.. j. Jordan Leake, counsel for the
company. and Mr.. James n. Boyd, one
OF the committee Of conference on, ii, j
part Of the creditors OF the concern, did
not return from New York yesterday as
anticipated. They are expected back to.
day. These gentlemen went to New
York to attend conference of creditors
with view to arranging a basis Eof re-
organization Of the company.
Nothing could be secured yesterday
from any authoritative source as to the
progress Of the negotiations or the pro-
Ehable outcome OF the conference Off
Gals OF the company in this city were
apparently. willing to give out anything
they knew. but knew nothing to give.
OF course. all the officers and employees
OF the company and the citizens Of Rich
mond generally are hopeful. or at least
desirous. Of a resumption OF the plant
as soon as practical BILE. but they can only
hope until the plans and nesotia lions OF
the creditors are known.
Meanwhile the employees who have not
been paid owing to the receivershtp. are
awaiting developments as patiently as
possible. Many have moved away from
the city, and this has left a number Of
vacant dwellings. Merchants whose busI-
ness was largely augmented by the trade
of the EMPLOYEES are already beginning
ito feel the effects Of the enforced shut
down. and all these are looking to some
announcement as to the future Of the big
plant which means SO much TO the city.
That the yard will soon be reopened
and operated by some one seems to be
I taken for granted but just when. or BY
whom. cannot now be stated.

sSto tho progress Of the negotiations
theirs failed to elicit any Information
whatever. The conferyees seem to be
effectually Keeping their plans from the
public until such time as they deem II
advisable to give them Out.
