men are adopting means to meet the
difficulty experienced in handling
the crop, on account OF the lack Of
cash. ]. w. Usher has asked loo
farmers to meet next Monday at the
court house in this city, with 500
each, making a fund of $4,000, to
be used by the association. Custom
arily the warehousemen secure funds
from the banks on warehouse re-
ceipts and advance the farmers 60
per cent on their crops. This year
the necessity of banks retaining their
cash until the money market eases
up, has crippled the association. in
this respect.
In his letter Mr. Usher says:
81 have recently attended a
meeting of the board of directors OF
the Dark Tobacco association, where
much business was transacted. A
schedule of prices was made. Lugs
range from 81 to sl1, and leaf from
$40 to $25 for 100 pounds.
