all my friends thanking them for
their steadfast support in the re

Democratic principles and the in

Tobacco Report for October.
There was a glaring error
made in the report as published
in. many of the State papers as to
the amount of tobacco sold on
this market during October.
Roxboro sales were given as 265.
000, which was the amount sold
by one of the warehouses. The
correct amount was 984,335,
which places this market up in
the front ranks, leading our
neighbor Durham by quite a large
figure.
Sales continue heavy during
montb, with prices Very satis
factory, in fact the prices are
high, and show no inclination to
fall off for all tobaccos of quality.
