DLAcKsroNE's RECEIPTS LIGHT.


BLACKSTONE. VA. February g.
On account of the unfavora BILE weather
tor handling the weed, offerings of
loose tobacco have been very light the
past week. The quality OF that Offered
has surpassed former offerings of thi,
season, showing that the majority of
poorer grades and quality have been
disposed of. With this Improvement
IN quality has come an Improvement in
fore.
1T Is estimated that about 50 or 40 per
cent. OF the crop has been marketed in
this section. and that as soon as the
weather will permit there will be a
rush to get the remainder off hand. as
the farmers will then have to turn their
attention to the crops for this year.
