DANVILLE, VA, Feb. 4.--The sales
Of loose leaf tobacco on the Danyiile
market during the past week, have
been the largest OF the present tobacco
year. totaiing between four and i've
million pounds. The above Is consid-
ered q conservative estimate. Local
tobacconfsts, including both warehouse
men and buyers are elated over the fiie
showing made, not only this week. but
for the present season and especially
gratifying In the fact that the farmers.
arc pleased with the prices that have
been paid them for their produce,
Tuesday was the biggest day of khe
present season. the sales aggregatinE
about million pounds For the farst
time during the six months OF the
present TOBACCO year. the sales were

at tho same time. the auctioneers being
required under the rules Of the Tobacco
Board OF Trade to eeli az many a. 17s
pifes Per hour. although many Of them
sail - high - two hundred piles per
hour.
This big sales during the past week
have been due In a great measure to
the exceptionally good weather. which
has been most favorable for preparing
tobacco for market. The tobacco II

territory within q radius OF q hundred

been large shipments by freight espec-
tally from stations along the Atlantic

those on tho market are bringing very
