abundance of what is designated
among tohacm men aa scrap." The
few baskets of second and third
grade curing* that have shown up
have boon eagerly purchased. Ware
housemen etpect the priming grades
to continue to show up for the next
ten days, and then they look for some
really good tobacco, as the primings
are of high color and good body. (
As competition is very keen be
tween the various markets in this
saction it la very hard to get other
than "estimated" reports, each mar

"boost" their own market by giving
