lOnice of "The Weed" Saturday,
Dee. 81, lS9S.-The Burley mark ct
opened on Tuesday with a full at
tendance of buyers, and prices
were sustained on the basis of last
! weeks values. As the week pro-
gressed slight tendency to weak
ness developed on all grades of new
leaf, but not SD marked as to indi-
cate a decline, and quotations re-
main unchanged from last week.
Some very satisfactory sales, how
ever, were effected during the week
and several lines of new leaf of de-
cided merit passed the breaks.
The bulk of the offerings, as in
the past, was composed of common |
and medium grades-the latter
predominating, and such are rel
atively stronger than the finer
grades, which meet with less COM
petition. Several of the more prom
inent buyers have enacted the role
of lockers on, and the irregularity
in the market observable during
the week was due to the lack of in.
terest on the part of several of
those buyers. Much of the leaf
offered is in very soft order, but
rehaDdlers do not appear to be
strong competitors a present. The

demand, however, is for oomA-Ch .
and medium styles, and in view Of {,
the present and prospective compe-

and 4; ubines, which also necessi-
tate like action on the part OF the
Independent manufacturers, CON-
mon and medium grades of leaf
will show a strong front turing the
coming year. The offerings Of old
Burley continue to dwindle, ani
such as were offered elected little
competition. Prices on such are
without change. The Burley market
is now almost wholly composed of
new leaf, and holders of lines OF
old will probably try and dispose
of their holdings without passing
the ordeal of the auction market.
The stock of Green Rivers is now
very much reduced, but on the
whole the past transactions, both
for the home and foreign trade,
have been fairly satisfactory.
The receipts of Dark leaf have
been fairly good, and the market
has been very animated during the
entire week. Long rehandling leaf
continues on active demand at fully
sustained prices. Stemmers were
strong bidders, and rumors of ad-
ditional stemmeries about to be
started are in the air. The Dark
crop fully sustains its reputation
for size and general suitability for
stemmer's wants, and We look for a
large increase on the output of
strips for the English market the
coming year. Receipts of both
Burley and Dark continue to be
disappointing in volume, but with
Nppen weather, suitable for country
handling, We look for large arrivals
next month. The market for Dark
closed point or two lower.
