QUoTATIoNs MISLEADING. - I II {
reports of the tobacco market in
the daily papers are misleading
now. For instance, quotation
Gays 10 hhds. of Carter county
tobacco sold at SIl to &c, and s at
IS 10 $685." The average for that
tobacco was about six cents, which
is not a remun-rative price for to.
bacco at all. To reasonably com
pensa;e the growers tobacco must
bring not less than eight to ten
cents.
Owingsville outlook., 1898-12-22

The tobacco market the past weel
has not shown much change from
the previous week. The bidding hal
been spirited, but prices have moi
advanced on Old tobacco, though
We think the New crop has brought
better prices. The brokers are not
purchasing, ms many of the smaller
factories Will not be in the market
to any extent until after the hol-
idays. The manufacturers buyers
appear to he willing to take the
light offerings at the same prices,
but without the competition of the
brokers we can expect no perma-
nent advance. There is strong
demand for medium and low grades,
but the purchasers of the best
grades are not on the market, and
therefore prices are not satisfac-
tory to the holders of these grades.
1t is thought by many that as soon
as the factories take stock and
with the new year they will be lib
eral bidders for the the balance of
the old stock on hand.
The receipts of the New crop are
increasing and buyers are purchas-
ing freely. The sales are not con-
fined to any class of buyers, as all
are in the market. The handlers
have commenced to purchase for
redrying purposes, and with the
competition of all the buyers prices
are very satisfactory to most of
the shippers. We can not expect
very heavy sales now until after
the holidays, when, if the weather
permits, We expect large shipments,
and with so little Old stock on hand
we feel confident the demand will
insure good prices for tobacco in
winter order. Some good New leaf
was offered this week which brought
from 10 To II cents, which was
fully as good as ;he shippers could
expect at this stasbn Of the year.
The offerings Of the coming week
will probably close the year

A SUGGESTION TO THE TOBACCO
LEAGUE.-It Is very important to
get started in any enterprise in the
right direction. If yeu expect to
succeed you must Danish all selfish
motives for the interest of all. Too
much seltishness will just as GER
taInly cause a failure in the ends
expected to be gained for the inter
est of the tobacco growers. Now,
if the majority of the League from
any locality expects to turn the en-.
terprise to the advantage of any
locality or of private individuals
you can look for it to fail. This
thing of discriminating against
Louisville or Cincinnati warehouses
is a step in the wrong direction.
The argument is that the tobacco
warehouses at those points are in
the combine. 1t is true that good
many of them belong to the com
bine, but some of them do not
Patronize the ones that are indie
pendent enough to keep out of ths
combine.
Another thing we see is contem-
plated: that is, to start paper to
be made the official organ of the
growers. Can't you see the selfish
motive in such a move2 Are not
all the country papers in sympathy
with the move by the farmers? Why
discriminate against them to give
to some selfish firm the monopoly OF
the patronage of the growers
Eliminate all selfish interests il
you expect to succeed.
