The Paris tobacco market was
strong Wednesday, with an upward
tendency in prices. The quality OF
the offerings is Improving, and the
market is higher than at any time
during the season, with competition
!, strong and active. Neither the pin
hooker or the small broker have
lmuch of a chance, owing to the &C
tive bidding of the, buyers represent
ing the big tobacco manufacturers
and every basket disposed of reaches
the limit of the high dollar. Paris
is still maintaining its lead as one
of the best tobacco markets in the
State and will continue to do so as
long as these good prices are realiz-
ed, and the growers and handlers
get the same kind Of fair and equita-
BILE treatment they are getting here
at the local warehouses. -
