AMI this is the first time he has ever

there have been over 400 hogsheads
marketed here and at Mayfield for
the week.
One local buyer today. who has
tobacco over In Lonlon, said he was
thinking seriously of bringing the

months. and the figures scared with

mark, and a large Increase over the
ciearings Of the corresponding week
OF 1903 is shown. Business In every
branch of commercial activity has
been good, and the splendid bank
clearings are not a reflection from
any particular line of industry.
Wholesale dealers In every line say
their business Is running away ahead
OF the pace last year. while the re-
tail dealers are far from complain
ing. Much of the heavy business OF
the week has been due to the pleas
ant weather. Farmers are still busy
with the planting of crops, and they
are advanced more in their work
this year than in a long time. Usu-
ally the wet springs have hindered
the work for weeks but this year the
weather has been IDEAL The April
showers this week we're welcomed
by the farmers, as the crops were
given an impetus. Large acreage of
every farm product is expected this
