went as high as eleven cents on as much

Loose leaf floor managers continue TO
caution growers to classify the tobacco
more carefully, and give best of atten-
ton and not gIut the markets.
Owensboro's tobacco markets of the
past week have been of varied character.
Starting off the week with markets
crammed to their capacity, and with the
naturally low prices which this brought.
and the reflections by wholesale of bids
on the stuff, the week was ANYTHING but
bright to commence with. Growers
persisted i'll disregarding the warning Of
the warehousemen and rushed the stuff
i'll without the least regard to common
sense. For the first time, it is believed.
since the loose leaf floor system was
estab ished, tobacco was taxed off the
breaks and hauled back to the barns.
This, OF course, was an expensive pre-
cess, and led to a great deal of dissati
faction.
After the buyers saw that there WASH
much chance of putting one over on the
growers by trying to make themselves
present OF the offerings, SO low were tn
bids, and the producers then faced right
about and declined to haul it in 8,
strong, there came a rally in the market
which brought decidedly better tone to
the whole outlook. Averages on tn
prices during the past week have bee
the lowest since the market opened OH
