they do this year? Don't they re-
gulats their prices by the supply Of
the grades they use9 Are they not
guarded by supply and dsnand9 But
lets see how the Dukes have acted
on the Winston market. From |
October ist, 1883 to May 1st, 1889,
their purchases averaged $780,;
from October LIST 1880 to May 1st
1890, SCOTT. This shows they
paid in Winston ninsty-ssvsn cents
In ihs hundred more the past tobac-
- rear than they did the previous
| ysar. This was done in thsfacs OF
the fast that there has been fully
one pound in four Of Cutters sold
during the time they run prices up.
We do not believe there is a tobac-
60 dealer in the country, who will
net say that when there is a full
supply Of any one grads on hand
shat prices on that grade decline.
Yet the exception we have shown in
favsr Of the present prices on Gut
sers is unprecedented and without
a parallel in the history OF any to-
bsceo market.
The hooks Of the warehouses in
Durham show that the average
prices paid BY w. Duke Sons & Co.,
On this, market from October LIST
1889 to Nay LIST 1890 we're upwards
Of $1,000 per hundred while the
prices paid from October lst 1888
10 May LIST 1889 don't reach $500.
