TOBACCO AND SHELBURNE'S
Richmond, Va, Nov. Both, 1909.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 30th, 1909.
Prices on our floor for the past week
have been very satisfactory to all
farmers. The common to medium grades
are higher than they have been, in fact
higher than for some years past, and
we advise the sales of these grades.
The good to fine tobacco had better be
held for some time yet until all the
buyers get on the market for this grade.
II will also run some If left hanging in
the barn and look better after Xmas.
We quote prices as follows: Primings
81 to $3.50. Common green tobacco $3.50
to Sc. so; green but sweet and waxey
Sc. so to 5000. Red Tugs $3.50 to $40.
Leaf $40 to $751; so. Fine filters $3.50 to
S26.
If the next season is good one it is
more than probable to bring us heavy
receipts. With the finest auctioneer in
the world to cry your tobacco, and
Victor Shelburne to make lively sale,
Shelburne s warehouse can get you more
for your tobacco than any warehouse
here. If you wish to hear from the
market write US.
Yours truly
