The dry weather of the past few
days has rendered it impossible to
handle tobacco, but with a change in
the condition since last Saturday,
farmers have been very active, with
the result the market is now receiv-
ing a large quantity. Yesterday eve
ming a ong line of wagons extended
on Main street from the warehouse
almost half way between Fourteenth
and Fifteenth streets, waiting to be
unloaded. Indications point to a
crowded floor for the sale Saturday.
At yesterdays sale the prices rang
ed to $21.50, which was the top price
of the day. The best average was
made on consignment of 2,945

80 per hundred.

tinues about the same as that which
