The snow blockndo in tho Southern portion
of tho State hns made it impossible to
market tobneco from somo districts, thus
materially diminishing receipts. Most of
tho largo tobacco mnrfufneturers of tho
country have recently cut tho price of plug
from 3 to 1 cents per pound, and this
has had rnthor a depressing effect on tho
price of hurley tobacco, and while tho mar
ket is not quotably lower it has certainly

fine quality has been offered recently, and

week for new burley. Tho following quotations

same treatment and effect everywhere.
The quantities of mercury and potasli
I have taken have nqt only done me no
good, but I believe they have done me
much harm. I have been taking S. S. S.
