THE TOBACCO MARKET.

The Paris tobacco market 'contin-
ued on the upward trend Tuesday,
with high prices prevailing at the
New Independent House and a block
ed sale on at the Paris House. The
Independent house sold a total of
10000 pounds for $94,735.34, a
floor average of $4S.22. The market
was stronger than at any time this
season, and the bidding was active.
The weed was in splendid condition
and buyers were eager to get the
good ones.
The blocked sale was resumed at
the Paris house Wednesday. With
offerings considerably below the
standard of quality heretofore pre-
vailing on the local market the house
disposed of 10000 pounds of tobacco
for an average price of $42.80. A
feature of the days sale was the
prices paid for tobacco of good
quality. Color and soundneSs count
ed, and this kind went under the
hammer with prices paid as high as
at any time during the season. Re-
ceipts were not so heavy, and the
long line of wagons that filled the
driveways were practically unloaded
and will be sold before the week
closes. Wagons can now get in at
any of the warehouses and further
blocked sales are not anticipated.
