The report of the recent sale of T.
900 hogsheads of pooled tobacco has |
been confirmed by the executive COM !
mittee of the Burley Tobacco Society. |
The purchased was made by the brok-
erage firm of De RIdder & Griffith, of !
Louisville, for the American Tobacco |
Co. and the price is stated to have |
been Is cents. 1t is also stated that |
|, 500 hOgsheads of the pooled tobacco |
was bought two weeks ago by the same
parties at IA cents and when they
bought the 1,5c0 hogsheadS, took an
option on 1000 more and they closed
this option by Telephone message to
the society's headquarters at Winches-
ter on June Is. The purchasing brok-
ers are said to have been paid COM
mission of 81 per hogshead, or total
Of So. 500 for making the purchases.
Two carloads of tobacco from the
Planters Protective Association has
been shipped from Hopkinsville to New
York where it will be loaded on board
4 ship and taken direct to Liverpool.
England. The purchased, which is
rather small, was made by English
dealers, with the view of making an
experiment on the best method of
packing tobacco for transportation
across the ocean. The shipment was
lnpacked at Hopkinsville, redried and
repacked according to their idea. the
English trade having heretofore refus- !
ed to buy tobacco from the Planters
Association ON the ground that as that
could not sell loose the
tobacco was therefore unfit for their
trade; that it was impracticable to I'M
pack it once it had been priced. and to
put it through the process necessary to
give it the flavor and color demanded.
Recently they decided to give the mat
ter trial. The greatest thing threat
ening the success of the venture is the
increased expense, it being naturally
more expensive to handle tobacco that
has been priced than it is to take it in
its loose state and work it up, and
there is also bound to be more loss
from the priced tobacco. With this ex-

ment will prove thoroughly satisfac-
tory. The verdict from the Liverpool
purchasers will therefore be awaited
with much interest, for if it is favor
able it means that English dealers will
