Good SO Far,

Tobacco cutting and curing have been
begun in South Carolina. and the re-
ports from there are to the effect that
splendid crops have been made, and
the weed is curing UP very fine and TO
the entire satisfaction OF the growers
The markets in that state will open up
carly this year. Some OF them are now
getting ready for an expected rush of
business the first week or two in July
In Virginia and North Carolina there
has been good seaSonahle weather for
tho past two weeks, and reports as TO
the condition and prospects of the COM
ing crop in all sections of the two
states are encouraging and gratifying
especially so 10 those dealers and man
ufacturers who have been fearing that
the cry for more food crops, even TO
the reduction OF money crops, would
greatly curtail the tobacco acreage.
Whit continued faVora BILE seasons and
tho securing OF tho necessary labor. the
Virginia crop Of the weed will be
equally as large. II not larger, than
last year. Scarcity Of labor has posSi-
bly, caused a reduction OF acreage in
some sections. while in other localities
some increase is in evidence.
