TOBACCO SHOWS A
SUCH I UPWARD IRENI)
? t
Sales Continue Light, As Farm
ers Are Not At All Pleased
With Prices
SOI.D 272,008 LBS. AV. 516.65
The farmers very wisely are trot
rushing their tobacco on the market. i
sttn hoping that very Soon there will |
b= a decided advance on all grades.
Nearly every tobacco man you talk!
witfi says this is likely to be the |
rase, and we believe the farmer can j
to- tike chance for awhile at
any rate.
Sales were light on the market last J
week, only 272.008 ftoundv being of- j
fered. which f-ought ?45.P.81.05. an'
average of $16.65.. The prices are not ]
at all pleasing to the farmers, which |
is p^ifectly natural, for they are be- j
low the cost of production, and no !
mat? cares to sell anything at less than
crwt. We are still hoping that some- j
thing may come of all of the agitation j
concerning the matter, but oi|r j
faith is not any too strong, for the
manufacturers hold the whip hand,;
nnd they have never been inclined to j
do much for the farmer.
