down business on Thursday last. but
al the same tho tobacco-growers and
the tobacco buyers kept Things going
pretty lively until the last minute. In
all OF tho warehouses in the two
states there were good sales up to the
last minute Thursday afternoon. and
prices were maintained 10 the very
last. II is quite evident that the
OF the Virginia Carolina leaf are a
little short on stock. Al least that Is
the natural conclusion drawn from
very closing Of tho wsrehouse DOORS
on the last day Before the holiday
season.
In the Richmond warehouses during
the past week not less than 10000
pounds OF the raw, leaf were offered.
and the buyers wee right on hand to

The cultivation and development OF

Richmond would at once become the

as the purchasing point food supplies
for the entire section. This question
now arises: Can Richmond get con-

be answered in the Affirmative. The
