In \fact. if you will compare the sales . here day by day you .wiH see that it us well hi the lead. If you want to know just how it is' selling here all yoy have to do. is to watch the Courier every week and vou ' will see in actual "fttnire* what it. has done for the' past week. . Last, week the market sold 443,008 pounds for An average, of $217.77. \ hlcsh includes everything, ground | primings, green tips. etc. This in no t>or. hundred lowf r a yeaf ago.
