CAUSE OF GOOD PRICES
European Dctmand for Lent Tobacco.
t.nrS" Increase in ENports-It
Helps the Growers

There arc several good reasons for
me good prices now being paid for
ieai TOBACCO in Virginia and North
carolina, good prices that are carry
me so much joy and comfort TO the
growers OF the weed. One OF the causes
- shc Increased foreign demand for
tobacco. as the lnnE-rcport of the gov
eminent viii show. According to that
report tho exports of leaf tobacco and
u" manufactured products for the nine
months OF the current year made sub
Staniiai gains in all branches except
plug tobacco. which showed n decrease
at the close OF the nine month period
OF 5l.l"i pounds. as compared with the
like period Of 1915.
similar comparison shows the fol-
lowing gains for the other branches:
leaf tobacco. 10.iiG.029 pounds: stems
and trimmings. 70S.739 pounds: cigars
gained 1,02S.000: cigarettes increased
lUii.i1l 1000, and smoking tobacco
gained $4,000 pounds
The value of all leaf and manufac-
turcd tobacco exported during the first
nine months Of the current year
amounted S66d52,G0?. or Il gain Of sI2.-
G2s,l2s over the value Of exports for
the like period Of last year.
