This simply conveyed th.? fantory building at the north ea.-t ? -orner of Franklin and Twentieth street*, the nominal consideration being one dollar. The report which had currency last week was that Mr. Whitlock was to reeervt ?soo.ooo for in* plant ami a salary of 8)10, 000 per year for managing it. Mr. Whitlock told a Dispatch reporter yesterday that the matter was "all Mt 'tle.l'' and that the report M published heretofore was Mirant?

The Trade in Richmond, since it btjeaate known that this deed had been effected, has been in a stato of expectancy for fu? ture developments which might result in tbe parehtatt of other valuable tobacco properties Yesterday a reporter of the Disi'ATCn v?.sir.il the Tobacco Kxehango to have a talk with some of its members aud asc??r tain ivhut might be the bearing of the late purcliasc upon tho Tobacco Trade of Rich? mond. Tho first gentleman interviewed Bald : " ? anticipalo in? material effect upon the market, although it look* upon the faco like tendine to a great monopoly, and you know the public has an aversion to monopolies : as much *o to OM in tob?ceo, which isouo of the luxuries of lif??, as to a bread deal, which latter artici.? i* the staple of life. Those 'American' people will have to come into tho market like Otlter buyers to get their tobacco and other inaUsriul. They will bo on a common footing with others, and if thev have more money than the general buyers, 1 cannot, like some of my brothers in the trad.?, ?aa that the par etnee will be detrimental to the tra?!?? in the least, although it has been sud by some that this company will have only ono bity.r her.?, and thut ho will not buy from a broker or commission merchant ii? long as he can g.-t a pound from a planter or man not regularly in tho trade. Of course, if this were trae it would destroy tho business of all intermediati? partie?. The American Tob?ceo Company buy? mainly cigarette and smoking tobacco?they are not suppoaed to be buyers of Hurley* or plu?-tobucco wrappers. WILL NOT CHANOE THE TBADE. "The fact of the purchase will not change the trade bere, the system will b?? th?.-aine, as tin? identical men will be re? tained in their employment a* managers and employe? at good salaries. So, in.li vidallv, so far as I can see, ther?? will be no new departure. It might als,) possibly b?> injurious to the small dealers, who are middle men." Another gentleman approached sud he thought this purchase would be to the in? jury of the trad??. He judged hy the peat policy of tho American Company, which was to buy from the plant?is directly and not from brokers wittujut. the competi? tion of the brokers buying for outside markets, this American company would be in ? position. h<- thought, to buy fro.? th" plant.-rs on its own terms, which would ?ooa ruin the planters and cause much lea? tobacco to to cultivated.
