The Illchmontl Tobacco Market.
Correspondence of The Day.
Richmond, Va., June 17. With
rather smaller sales this week, prices
have been strong on all manufacturing
stock. The late rains have made
good season on plants as well as for
tobacco hanging, so that our receipts
will soon be larger. Some fifie tobac
co (new) was opened this week, and
prices seem very hlghVtb which "the
trade will have to become more accus
tomed. Sun-cured tobacco is selling
at 11 to 12 cents average, and it is
said by experts that this fine leaf can
be made bright by flue-curing and
bring more than double present values.
Old -tobaccos are still in strong de
mand, and market quite high for all
desirable stock.,

Scott, with others, have been heard

that any will be prepared." A state

A Boston , Post writer tells of a
friend who, on returning from the
West,, visited the cemetery where his
mother was buried. , I couldn't find
the lot'ghe told me,' -although I knew
just , where it was; or, if I did find it,
some one seemed to have jumped the
claim; and when I got home I asked
my sister about it, and who it was that
had put a big monument there, with the
nam- . Theodosia on it. 'Why, that
was the place,' said my sister. 'But
who is Theodosia?' I asked. 'That is
mother,' said she; 'I know it wasn't
her name, but it is a pretty cne and I
thought she would like it. And, did
you see John? I thought mother look
ed lonesome in that big lot, and I had
a baby headstone set up near the cor
ner with "Tennie" cut on it. You
don't mind, do you?'
