qelow what was paid duriug the period
of active buying.
From inquiries made among the grow
ers as to the acreage for the present
year, it is evident that it will be about
the same as last year, somewhere be-
tween $4,000 and 1900 acres. Some
of the growers have already made their
seed beds, and in another week or ten
days this will be general.
The local leaf market continues dull,
the sales being altogether along job
bling lines to manufacturers, and as the
cigar industry continues very depress-
ed, it goes without saying that the
manufacturers are not buying heavily.
