IMMENSE AMOUNT
Of TOBACCO SOLD
Low Prices Due in a Gre at
Measure to Quality of Offer
ing On Floor.
AVERAGE IS LOWEST
On 3Ol,64O Pounds Which
Went Under The Ham
mer Yesterday.

With prices being lower and the
quality of tobacco poorer than at any
time during the entire season, 301,-
$40 pounds Of tobacco were sold at
the Bourbon Tobacco Warehouse yes
terday. At no time since the opening
of the house has there been so much
tobacco of the inferior quality on the
doors. The low water mark in point
Of average was the result.
Farmers and growers were free in
expressing the opinion that the mar
ket was several dollars lower than at
any previous day, which according to
the buyers was due to the quality of
the weed.
One grade of tobacco-thecolory
offering-however, stood up we'll and
demanded practically the same price
that has prevailed during the season
The slump in the Paris market is
by no means lasting, according to the
close followers, and as soon as better
grades can be obtained it will resume
the old activity and hold its own
With any in the State. Many are of
the opinion that most Of the better
graaeS have been sold and the mar
ket is now glutted with tips and
green weed Following are few of
