market.
Tuesdays offerings consisted o.:
common goods. some of them in dam,
sprinkling Of really. desirable sun
cured leaf. and. under those condi-
lions the farmers did not expect any
fancy prices. but they did expect
for the days offerings. That is all
they got on that day. Ono pile Of
really good leaf was knocked out at
Sl4. and that was tho high dollar"
for that day.
On Thursday there were again sut-
fcient offerings TO make n sale quite
as large as that of Tuesday, and there
was more animation as some better
leaf showed UP; but, for lack Of COM
petition. the prices still dragged, and
the best average that could be made
was slt per hundred pounds. Fri
days sales were very small. Again
they saw plainly that Richmond was
not ready for tho tobacco crop yet.

that the market will not be ready
for the sun-cured and the dark-fired
tobaccos until the 18th OF November
or maybe the first of December. and

to the dark-fired leaf.

During the week. something like

of the figures they brought. While
the bright offerings were not OF the
best goods, no pile was neglected,
