Tobacco Market.
Receipts of Maryland leaf tobacco
have shown slight decline the past
few weeks, and, despite continued ac-
tlvity in sales, the market rules easy,
with values mostly in buyers favor
The rainy weather last week, coupled
with high humidity, has affected to-
bacco stored in barns, although not
seriously mostly in turning darker
color. while some tobacco still in the
helds also suffered from the heavy
gains, according to reports received
here. However the late tobacco has
little to early to predict whether the |
1887 crop, as whole, has been hurt |
more than it has been helped. |
Quotations of Maryland tobacco, per
pound: Maryland firm leaf, nom
descript, 4; common, 4a12; medium.
