Good season" Is still lacking and
the result Ia that In Richmond the past
week there has been practically no to-
bacco market. - warm. wet season IL
badly needed In order to get the leaf
out OF the barns, and until there Is
rain there will be but little activity
and trading In this mart. For three
weeks nearly all OF Virginia and North
Carolina has been similarly affected.
However. sales were held In this city
on last Tuesday. Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday. All Of the local ware
houses together sold less than 10000
pounds. What was dtsposed Of. though.
brought good prices. probably shade
better than was offered in the early
part Of last season.
ON account OF the prolonged dry and
freezing weather the receipts during
the past two or three weeks have
amounted 10 practically nothing.
This years crop IL a big one. be-
lieved to be larger than that produced
In 1909. But manufacturers are ciaIn-
ortng for the weed. and. no matter
how large the yield. II would not sat-
isfy them.
The demand for chewing and smok-
ing stock II steadily increasing. 1t is
said. and the crop IL not in-excess of
the demand.
1t is believed by those who are ia
niliar with the situation that the pro-
longed light receipts have slightly
boosted the price. but outside figures
are not disturbing the manufacturer,
who Is eagerly waiting tn gobble up
everything offered.
