BLACKSTONE. VA, March 2l.--
Sales of tobacco on this market have
been below the normal this week, ow-
ing to two causes. The farmers have
been buster with preparing for their
crcpr, with the pretty weather, and
there is not so much tobacco left un-
sold. Prices have shown little weak
ching, but are still far above past
years. Some sales have been as high
as s25. which, for dark tobacco, the
only kind sold on this market, is very
fine.
1t is estimated that only about Is
per cent. of the crop remains llnsold.
