Burley averaged $51.61 on the Asheville market Tuesday for the opening sales, when almost 300,000 pounds were sold. Early sales on the second day averaged above 150. The highest price paid Tuesday was $62. H. R. Clapp, county agent here, said with present high prices, Hay wood growers should realize be tween $400,000 and $600,000 for their crop this year. The quality of the tobacco from Haywood was the topic of much comment among warehousemen and buyers on the Asheville market. The crop here is only about half worked, according to Mr. Clapp. With favorable weather, the re mainder of the crop should bd ready for market within the next few weeks. ' The average last year on the Asheville market was $42.93 per hundred, an increase of $8.68. Albert Ferguson, R. G. Sanford, F. Mr. ana Mrs. J.J.
