Other Sales.

With some grades much inferior to
my tobacco sold on the local market
his season, and with the majority Of
hat offered being Of a poor quality,
he sale held at the Bourbon Tobacco
Warehouse yesterday, everything con-
;idered, is pointed to being the best, of
he season. The quality of the tobac-
20 was to a great extent lower than
hat offered at the opening of the sea-
;on, but the price is holding up stead
ly, and there is a general feeling of
abstraction among those who have
placed their product on the local mar
ket.
A report which was started at the
ale Tuesday and which has been
raced to parties VINO started the
story with a view of injuring the Paris
market was to the effect that two men
employed a the warehouse had devel-
)ped smallpox. This story was absO-
utely without foundation as the two
nen who were reported to have the
disease are working daily at the ware
house.
At the sale yesterday 2S4,9S5
pounds were sold for $32,44S.40, an
lverage of $1140, which is considered
,ery high for the quality of the offer
ng.
With the close of the sale Satu~-
lay it is expected the five millior
pound mark will have been reachch.
md the management of the Loo !
warehouse are of the opinion that f. >
jeason's rush will then be over, 9
t will be possible for tobacco arrivi
for the sales of the future to bel
oaded as soon as they reach the bui
ing.t -
