Tobacco Moving.

Louisville leaf tobacco dealers
are preparing for the opening of
the market, and expect an influx of
ewdark tobacco during the present
month. The recent rains have fur
nished good season for stripping
and pricing tobacco in the farm
barns, and the rAisers are busy get
ting their crops ready for market.
AT this time last year some tobacco
had already been offered on the 10
i cal market, but on account of the
unusually dry fall there has been
no season Tor the handling OF the
weed in the barns of the raisers un.
Til the present. Dealers who have
made it point to Investigate the
crop this year say it is better than
was expected before the cutting
season, and that the quality is fair
1t is thought that few seasons will
open the market and that 1T will be
lively until the holidays, when the
usual lull will come, to prevail un
til after the new year opens. Prep
arations are being made for hand
ling a large crop.
