Reported for The Times D,s,~,cn by Dibrell

Lynchburg Va, June II. 1905.
We have had this week exceedingly small
sales as we have had for several weeks past.
and expect to have for some weeks to come.
There is SO little coming In that there is a
small corps OF buyers and very little interest
taken In tho sales. Most OF the larger buyers
ar eentirely off the market. and have left rho
buying to the smaller concerns
Prices are without change and are not alto
gether regular Occasionally some very cheap
tobaccos sell and then again high prices are
occasionally paid for something special There
4 Is nothing selling in the way OF. good to Hne
tobaccos, and no wrappers ~ the breaks at
all The weather has been fairly favorable on
the crop. There Is some little trading in
round lots but no large transactions have
been consuinlna ed.
