Danville. Va, May IS 1904.
Messrs. Dibrel Bros in their weekly rc'iew
of the Danville tobacco market say:
Sales this week have been rather small. The
offerings have consisted mostly OF medium
grades with a scarcity OF low grade tobaccos
and good rne wrappers. Prices have been
hrni and steady, but possibly a shade easier
on common and medium wrappers. There is
continued activity in hogshead tobacco, both
1907 and 1893 crop. Reports indicate the plant
ing IN this section to be smaller than has been
recently anticipated. The seasons have been
Very unfavorable for preparation OF the lands.

The re:!aiycrs say.
"If the cotton were purchased Mt the

to pay about s2op.QcO more than tho value

slggestion is that by a skilful manipu-

mand Of the receivers for 10000 bales

They then set forth that they have not

CAVIAR is VERY SCARCE
Few Sturgeon Caught by New jersey
Coast Fishermen and Price
Advances.

The catch of sturgeon last year was
small, and this spring the fishermen were
even less successful.
Most of the fishermen were at work
for three weeks, without catching a sin-
gle sturgeon. The entire company of
600 fishermen did not average six stut-
geon a day. =
There have been seasons when the
shipment of caviar from Bayside, N. j.,
to the European markets has amounted
to more than 500 kegs; but unless there
is big run of fish shortly less than one
third of THAT amount will be produced
this year.
At the rate at which caviar is now adj
vancing in price all previous records
promise to be broken. The present price
is 95 cent pound on the wharf, which
is equal to $3.50 key.
