December was a good month with 6.689,544 pounds sold in fourteen days at an average price of $14.91. The season of 1913 was a good one. With total receipts of 20.819,160 pounds at an average price of $19.03 and the total amount of money paid for leaf that season was $3,954, 108.54 the largest amount ever paid out on this market, but the pre sent season will go beyond that fig ure even with a reduced price for the conservative tobacco men esti mate that 4,000,000 pounds will yet be sold on this market. Records for the past twelve years furnished by Mr. R. P. Watson, presi dent of the Board of Trade, tell an interesting story. The year of 1902 leads all years until this season with total receipts of 22,296,077 pounds, but the average price last year was only $10.90. In the following year the market sold 22,201,771 pounds for SI, 509, 298. 59, an average price of only $6.79. The largest receipts on this market after 1903 until 1913 was the year 1908 when 18, 752,257 pounds were sold at an av erage of $19.88 the highest in the twelve years, the total receipts were only 16,381,096 and the sales amount ed to $2,950,485.17, or almost a million dollars less than has already been paid for the leaf this season. In other words, tho first four months of this season, the Wilson to baoco market has handled and sold 27,411,927 pounds of tobacco for $3,712,964.48, or three times as much leaf as was handled the entire season of 1911 and at just about the same price. The total sales of 1911 amounting to $1,316,332.81 and dur ing the past four months farmers have received $3,712,964.48. The question disturbing the merchant is, Where did the money go?
