district schools, he entered into the
shirt and necessities of the work.
Three solid monuments TO his men,
orv. the Rock Point school building,
the furnishing of the Magothy school,
both in the Third district, and a
special act of legislation protecting
teachers in their positions, bear silent
testimony to his beneficent. philan-
thropic spirit. Therefore, be it
Resolved, THAT this expression OF
our feeling be sent to his bereaved

zation.

A FINE WEEK
. ON THE MARKET
Highest Prices Of the Season Re
ceived Yesterday and 81
Thursday.

Despite the extreme bad weather and
the condition of the roads tobacco poured
into Richmond during the week which
closed yesterday, placing the total sales
for the week above the half-nillion mark
again. Mr.. Eazell at shockoe Ware
house. says that 1t Is very gratifying to
him to be able to state that while the
weather has, been exceedlngl y disa agree
able and very unfit for handling tobacco,
not a s,ngle one Of the buyers has failed
to be OH hand at every sale; not only,
have they attended sales. but have stood
,lp nanfully, making the weeks closing
prices the best Of the season. To sub
stnntiate this opinion Mr.. Hazell reports
the following as shown by his books
ION Thursday and Friday we sold at
shockoe Warehouse 90,295 pounds for an
average Of SITS for everything sold,
which included 10000 pounds Of smoked
tobacco. This reduced the average very
materially. and had we made the aver
age on s,ln-cured exclusively. it would
have reached at least $3.50 :,
Again, Mr.. HAZEL states that up to
Thursday s215D was the highest price any
lot Of TOBACCO had reached, but on both
Thursday and Friday he sold for so,
making a new high record for this sea-
son. % a .f ail
Manufacturers and leaf men seem anx-
