FARMERS TOO BUSY
TO MARKET rRIMINGS
Tobacco Raisers Sold Only 419,
331 Pounds During August.
Price Better / han Last I ear.

Especial to The Richmond Firginian.1
DANNlLLE,, VA, Sept. io.-Farm-
ers have been too busy cutting tonac-
co all this week to market their prim-
ings. with the result that sales of leaf
tobacco have been lighter than last
week, aggregating hardly more than
$4,000 to 60, 000 pounds. If that much.
Practically all the oqerings have been
of primiugs, but those sold are com
manding very satisfactory prices. Some
have brought as much as II cents per
pound, and they range from to 10
or 9 cent Practically all the deal
ers are in the market for tobacco now,
and there is consequently a good de-
mand for all desirable offerings.
1t is difficult to form an estimate
OF the acreage and probable crop OF
tobacco In the "old belt" as this
bright tobacco section is known. Per-
haps as good an idea can be gained
from the sale OF fertilizers as in any
other way. These Indicate an acreage
equally as large as last year, and IT
is probable that the crop will be about
the same or but slightly greater in
quantity. The continued and almost
continuous rains Of fortnight ago
threatened al one time to damage the
crop seriously, but they ceased in good
time to enable the tobacco to mature
we'll. One result Of the weather pre-
vailing at the close OF the crop season
is that the tobacco will weigh out well
the leaf being of good body and rich
and waxy. 1t / scuring up Well. too
and promises TO be an unusually good
crop.
Good judges estimate that the sales
on the Danviiel market Will aggregate
from thirty-seven an da half to forty
million nrnha 9
more than last years crop, This city
is making special efforts to increase
its pre-eminence as bright loose to-
bacco market, and hopes in year or
two TO swell the total sales to fifty NIL
lion pounds, a figure reached in 1900.
when most of the tobacco grown in
the then new South Carolina market
were sold here.
Sales on this market during the
month of August. the first of the
l910-1si1 tobacco year, aggregated
only 419,331 pounds, decrease of
24s,534 pounds compared with August.
1909. The decrease is due to the fact
that the crop is later maturing this
year than last. The decrease in guam
tity sold is Offset by the increase price.
the offerings brought, the average
price being $5.24 per hundred pounds,
compared with SAIL in August, 1903.
The low price Is attributable to the
fact that only primngs are coming in
yet.
