FARM\1LLE, VA? Aprll 25.?Tho past

waa oxceptlonally qulet. Salea wero held

of tobneco selllng around 5 and G cents.
Thoro Is no decllne In prlces. All grades
aro selllng exccptlonally well, except to?
bacco that has mohl on lt whlch, of
course, st-lls low, and thoro Ivs a great
deal of thls klnd of stock belng soh).
Tho farmers aro very' anxlous to soll
what stock they now havo on hnnd, and
wlll brlng It to market nn soon as a
good season prevalls. Vory ncarly nll of
them havo thelr tobneco hanging in
barns and tho weather has not been such
as to enable them to tako lt down. Thero
havo been excesslve ralns In thls sectlon
for tho past two weeks, but thoro was
nn eeoson, it belng too cold. An Inqulry
reveals the facl that thero ls very llt?
tlo moro of tobacco In tho country, and
most of that la common stock. As a
genornl rulo, vory few farmers made good
tobacco thla Season, that is, good Aus
trlnn and Itallan whlch brlngs moro mon?
ey on thls market than any other g/rados.
When a farmer flnds out ho cannot mako
good Austrlan and Itallan tobacco, ho
goes to work and nlr-ourea hls stock,
whlch Is the next best seller, Aa a
rule, vory few flno wrappcrs appear on

Factorlos contlnuo to work full forces,
