Big Tobacco Deal.

About the last of the 1905 crop of
tobacco pooled with the American
Society OF Equity has been sold. This
deal was closed in Louisville and the
purchase was made by Robert Massie.
of greensboro, representing the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company. The prices
ranged from $11.50 down to So. The
total sales price will be about $40, 600.
AS this tobacco. which was stored with
the Louisville Warehouse Company,
passed out of the control of the Ameri-
can Society of Equity District Selling
Committee on January /, many feared
that the growers would get nothing out
of it, hut that has not proven to be the
case. The only tobacco in the five
counties of the Owenbsoro district
pooled with the American Society of
Equity which has not been sold is
about 300, 600 pounds of Breckenridge
county tobacco, and it is probable that
it will be sold in very short time.
There is no desire in this district tc
put the 1906 crop on the market at this
time, but tire chances of selling it are
said to be good.
