Sales of Il obacco Here Last Week
Not Large, but Prices Among
the Best Of the Season. Z

Last weeks sales OF loose tobacco
on the floors of the four warehouses
showed only a total OF $4,000. pounds,
considerably less than has been handled
on the market in q single day duri1g
the best days OF the season.
With the season drawing to- a close.
the prices hold up well, and the aver
age for the week was, perhaps, better
than for some time. The highest price
for suncured tobacco for last week
was s44, 1t being the best received for
little off. Dark tobaccos have been
bringing good prices throughout the
season, and now show a tendency to
even higher figures. Despite the fact
that the season has practically spent
itself, there is yet good deal Of to-
ibacco to&come in from the best dis
tricts Among this quite q good deal

that United States Senators John

There Is considerable opposition to

whether or not the convention shall

Bryan are also under Instructions
TO vote for Senator Daniel as dele
