Times denies that the closing of the

the writer, the most ardent advocate of

TOBACCO MARKET
The Prices on BurIey Fluctuate Be.
cause Of the Condition and
Order II May Be In.
Chances for a Red Crop Are Dis
couraging, But the Price
Remains Low.
A FEW QUOTATIONS.

The Burley market this week has been
rather pulling. At some warehouses
the bidding would seem irregularly high,
and at others irregularly low. II has
certainly been irregular. The bidding
too has seemed to drag considerably.
The market has shown very little snap
or activity. The excessive hot weather
has probably had depressing influence
on the energy of buyers. Then too 1t is
the kind Of weather and the time Of year
that causes buyers to discount prices
heavily for soft order. A great deal OF
the tobacco now being broken is found
to be in the midst OF the sweat and only
those buyers can take IL who can use it
Immediately. Again when buyers find
hogshead in soft order, they know that
the farmers can not hold it, consequently
they are not afraid Of its being rejected.
All of these conditions contribute to
give us rather an unsatisfactory market
this week. II should be added, however,
that medium and good leaf, when
specially sound and in keeping order,
usually elicits strong competition, and
the hogshead brings near its worth.
Very common Tugs and trash is also SELL
ing reasonably well. Colony grades still
has the "call" on other types.
Dark tobacco is steady and fairly strong
at the low figures quoted II there was
any way to secure reasonable amount
OF competition on dark tobacco, this type
would seem to be in strong position
The stocks held are not excessively
large, and the reports from the dark dis
trict as to the condition Of the new crop
is not encouraging. 1t is well known
that the plant beds in the dark district
suffered much more than in the Burley
country; the ravages from cut-worms
were much worse, and now they are suf-
fering from drouth, with large proper
ton Of the crop yet unset. In some
sections they have had no rain since
early in May, and the drouth caught the
later planting before they had fully
taken root, and now it is probable that
great deal of this will either die or prove
almost worthless. With this condition
surrounding the dark market prices
should improve; and, as stated above, If
there was any way to obtain competition
between foreign buyers, prices would
improve. But when the foreign buyers
agree with each other that one Of them
will buy all the dark at one warehouse,
and another all at the next house, and
not bid against each other, there seems
little hope for the dark tobacco grower
getting rich at his business.
