DANVIILE. VA. Speeial.-Sales
of tobacco during the past week on
the DanVille market have been about
a million pounds. which is a decided
falling off in receipts over previous
weeks since the Christmas holidays.

BILE day Of the week for the sale of
tobacco.
Prices are holding up we'll on all
grades and there was no absentee
noted among the buyers, despite the
small sales. Fine bright wrappers
are selling at from $40 to $50 per
hundred pounds while the second
grade of bright wrappers is bring
ing from SIS to $35. Fancy bright
cutters are selling at from SIS To $50
per hundred. The quality of the crop
is not very good. and most of the
offerings consist of smokers and
filters.
Well informed tObacconists estimate
that about 65 per cent. of the sea-
sons crop in the Piedmont tobacco
belt of Virginia and North Carolina
has been sold to date. The total sales
here amount to about twenty-five
million pounds, with excellent pros
