been made in Paducah, the sales
rooms being quiet after the big rush
of yesterday when the sale of 240
hogsheads to the French buyers, T..
j. O'Brien & company, was made.
Nearly all the brokers, who buy at
this market were out of town today,
many of them going to Mayfield,
where good sales probably will be
made. In addition to the purchase
here O'Brien & company bought 40
hogsheads at Mayfield and 20 hogs
heads at Murray yesterday, paying

Fulton, Ky, March 3.-The tobac-
co market has been exceedingly ac-
tive recently, and thousands of pounds
.of the weed were delivered to the var
lous warehouses In the city during
the past week More than 400 hogs
heads have been priced at the asso-
ciatiou wOrehOuse. Some of IL has
been sold, but the purchasers are slow
in ordering II moved. More than q
600, 900 pounds have been delivered
TO the association here and they are
badly in need of more storage room.
At the independent warehouses
more than two and a half million
pounds have been delivered, but they
are pricing and shipping it out as
quickly as possible.
The little ripple of excitement dis
played here a few days ago when Mr..
Hamlet, one of the largest Reggie buy
ers, had received an anonymous let
ter, has about passed away. The let
ter was not from the night riders as
first reported, but from some one who
held a personal grudge against Mr..
Hamlet.
1t is firmly believed now that the
night riders have never thought of
coming to Fulton, but special guard
is being maintained at the ware
houses just the same as a precaution.
