TOBACCO SALES REACH

Average Price of $40 With High
Figure at $23 Causes of
Shortage.

Half million pounds OF sun-curea
leaf and some $50, GOO pounds of Bur.
ley changed hands on the local to-
bacco market this week, the average
price running in the neighhorhood of
$40 a hundred, though some OF the
best lots brought as much as $2S a
hundred.
The farmers are now bringing in
the last quarter of the crop. and aierg
with it comes some Of the very best
samples which have thus far been
held TO meet the late season high
prices " -
Compared with other average weeks
of the season, this weeks prices are
more than satisfactory to both the
farmers and tobacco dealers. since
both the prices paid and the qualities
received are considered more than ex-
cellent.
These prices. which have contin-
ued generally through the entire sea-
son. are somewhat higher than those
of last year. being the natural re-
suit of several causes, among them
being the scarcity of plants when the
crop was set out, the bad weather
prevailing when the young plants
were still delicate. the unfavorabIe
seasons following later in the year
and an unusually heavy demand for
the tobacco, caused in part. but not
entirely. by the resulting shortage.
