An investigation of the death of a

MARKET REPORT.
The receipts on our market for the
past week have been very good, con-sidering
so many farmers have sold
out about all of their holdings aud the
fact that the Jones-Stuart meeting was
in progress pretty nearly all the week.
The offerings consisted mainly of good
working tobacco and the commoner
types, with a very few good to fine
wrappers, but'all grades of desirable to-bacco
were in veiy active demand at
the best prices of the sejsou. We now
consider our prices better than they
have beeu during the present season.
