MARKET REPOBT.
The receipts on our market for the
past week have been rather light, which
is the case with all tobacco markets at
this season of the year. The offerings
were in good condition and of good
quality, and prices remain unchanged,
with the market quite active on what
is being offered.
This season will, practically, wind
ti)i the planting anil a great deal of the
replanting of the crop, and we trust
the fanners in this section will make a
line crop of tobacco, as our buyers and
warehousemen are in the best shape
that they have been in years.
