Well Pleased With Sales.

DR.. P. w. Foote, Irvington, was at
tending the loose leaf tobacco sales
Friday. 1t was his first visit to these
sales. He was we'll pleased with the
way things were handled and thought

$4,000 Pounds Sold Last
Friday. Top Price For Dark
SIG. Complete List Of Sales.
REGULAR SALE NEXT FRIDAY

The breckenridge Loose Leaf sale
last Friday came up to its usual stand
ard of prices on high grades of tobacco.
A leading buyer of these grades said
his average was higher than any pre-
vious sale, Low grades and trashes
were little sluggish and the price
was shade lower. But on the whole
it was a satisfactory sale to the farm
ers. There was very little dissats-
faction. Those who were not salts.
fled took advantage of their rights and
rejected.
1t was o lserved by many that it was
the best looking floor of tobacco that
has been offered. Every basket looked
in tlp'top order and conditions; well
handled and put in nice piles on the
baskets. Growers are taking more
pains ana devoting more time to pre-
pariug their tobacco for these sales,
and it pays them to do it. Nesting
and trying to fool the buyers don't paw
any more than it does in other lines.
Manager Robertson has set his foot
down on these practices and won't al.
low it. He says it must be a fair deal
all around. The buyer, he says, must
be protected as well as the seller
More farmers ought to attend these
sales
