This included the few thousand Mound |,

last year.
OF the crop OF 1903 the saler In
the Richmond warehouses amounted
70 near 100000 pounds, and tr;s In
cluded the 100000 pounds OF BurIev
marketed here. The average price paid
Tor the sun-cured was s8.37 per hun
dred. and the average for Burlev was
s14.47 per hundred pounds.
Thus IL will be seen that while tho
total of deliveries up to Christmas of
the 1903 crop was something like 300
600 pounds lees than those for like
period of the previous year, the raIsers
OF the weed got considerably more
money for the 1900 deliveries than for
those of like period OF the former
year.
There was never a more active de-.
mand for the sun-cured stock or for
the dark goods than right now. II is
true that the dark shipping goods are
no higher now than they were a year
ago. possibly not quite as high, but
the figures for the sun-cured ere
much In advance of year ago and
as for Burley the figures and the de.
mand are in every way satisfactory.
The local warehouses are scheduled

they will be. but the chances are that
because OF the cold, harsh weather
that has prevailed for the past two
