dented prices for tobacco served to !
make October or 1917 surpass October
of 1916 by several millions of pounds
and far more-than $1,000,000.
The average price of the weed sold
for last month is understood to be
$28.r0, almost unheard of. The East
still retains the lead. The smell of
tobacco as the star . of empire takes
its way westward unsually about this
time, but the eastern cities still hold
the leadership.
