The past week was an unusually
good one on the loc=3 tobacco market
when during the three sales an aggre-
;; gate of $4,000 pounds sold for a total
of $101, 1883. In spite of the poor
grade of the offer ,ng good prices
were realized, and the best judges
were OF the opinion that the sales
| were the best held curing the season.
Throughout the week the floors
| were Hooded with the very poorest of
offerings. This was due to the ex-
tremely dry weathe-, which made the
handling OF tobacco difficult, the grow
ers being unwilling 20 risk the better
grade in handing, and as a conse-
quence only the mos: nferior was con-
| signed.

were sold for $33,3O0.2S, or an aver
age of $1l.62 per hundred. Thursday

| from 81 to $44 per hundred The lat
ter was one of the highest of the
