Tobacco Market.
Receipts OF Maryland leaf tobacco
have shown 4 slight decline the past
few weeks and, despite continued ac-
tivity in sales, the market rules easy,
with values mostly in buyers favor
The rainy weather last week, coupled
with high humidity, has affected to-
bscco stored in barns, although not
seriously. mostly in turning a darker
color. while some tobacco still in the
fields also suffered from the heavy
rains. according to reports received
here. However, the late tobacco has
been helped by the rains, and it is a
little too early to predict whether the
| 1887 crop as whole has been hurt
more than it has been helped. Quo
