TOBACCO BREAKS
WERE RATHER LIGHT

The leaf tobacco breaks Were smaller yes
terday than had been expected by the ware.
housemen. who probably figured too largely
on the untirng energy of the 'countrymen
who raise the snn-cured stock In the coun-
ties surrounding Richmond But be that rs
1t may. the fact Is that very few wagon
deliveries were made. and the railway re-
ceIpts being comparatively small the t. al
sales at the four WAREHOUSES were somewhat
disappointing They amounted to about SO.
900 pounds.
The stock offered was Of the better varie-
ties and good prices were paid for both
filters and wrappers. The high price of the
day was s34 for a pile Of wrappers sold at
Shockoe.
The breaks o-day will probably not be
any larger than those of yesterday. The
sales VIII run us follows: First Mt Cren-
shaw's, second at Shockoe. third at Stone
wall and fourth a shelburnes.

COTE, I :;

NEW YORK. February 2s.-Most
staple lines of cotton goods are selling
at the highest prices of twenty three
years and higher than in 900, when
cotton sold at seventeen cents a poQld.
The worlds demand and consumption
are adjusted to an American crop of
s14.000.u0O bales.
My Investigations lead me to believe
that there-is not the remotest posi-
bllity of such a crop being marketed
this year.
81. An unusual willingness, to sell on
the part of planters an d an gunexampled
the most rapidly moving crop on record.
The prospects are that unless very
substantial advance in prices checks
consumption, we shall finish the sea-
son with stock of cotton in.y America
impossibly small in relation to the
magnitude of the trade and the. de-
nand.
The quality of the New York stock
has been misrepresented. 1t is by no
means unspnnabe and. In my opinion,
will shortly be in active demand at
much higher prices.
The worlds gold. production Is in
creasing at a rate that will inevitably
increase the value of all agricultural
commodities, as expressed in terms of
gold, and cotton will feel the influence
of this factor more .acutely than al
most any other commodity. The point
of saturation has been almost reached
in SO far as the gold standard OF value
is concerned, and once this point has
been passed. the effect in advancing
the price OF all commodities. will be
sensational.

DRY GOODS MARKET.

NEW YORK February 2S.-A tone Of
greater moderation prevailed In the dry
goods market to-day and buyers maintained
their activity without manifesting the furry
so noticeable In all quarters In the early
days OF the week. The advances being
named In printed goods is causing some
halt In the buying in .e primary market.
but jobbers are still charging up goods for
delivery: The print works OF the country
have not entered on a spring season in
many years with such large volume of
good sunder orders.

was as abrupt a reversal OF sentiment

market to-day MS there was on Tuesday
from that of Monday. To-day's sharp
rccoveries placed prices QUITE general
ly on level with the best prices

The complete uncertainty Of tho spccu-
Native sentiment is clearly defined in
thcse numerous and abrupt changes
In the reverse Of prices. To-d days re-
covery was as little accounted for by
any news developments as have been
the other movements Of the week
Some influence was attributed to the
adjournment OF the Interstate Com
merce Commissions hearing In this
city. But opinions in the Wall Street
district OF the bad effects on sccuri-
.ics threatened as n result of that
hearing were not altered, but rather
were emphasized by the later phases
Of the investigation. Commissions
houses profess Il conviction that the
public cannot be induced to buy stocks
while these revelations are fresh in
mind.
Importance was given the highly
favorable reports from the iron and

expressed by authorities in that trade

The grand Jury says:

All of the men and corporations indicted
ara members of the Illinois MIX Dealers
Association, and all were said by wit
nesses be fore the jury to have been pres
ell. at a meeting of the association in
this city Immediately preceding the recent
advance in the price of milk. The mem

that prices were not discussed and that

the meeting.

All of the men indicted waived immunity
when they testified before the grand jury,
and appeared as voluntary witnesses. The
offense charged against the milk dealers
is punishable by fine of 5000 or i'm

vast mass of information gathered up on
the voyage which is to become subject
of official treatment.
