sales blocked several days this week
and other days barely got round before
dark. IT is estimated that fully 2.I50.-
900 pounds of loose tobacco have been
sold on the warehouse floors this week.
There is no change in the general
character of the tobacco sold this week.
Some very fine wrappers have been
sold as high as 20 cents, and quite
number of lots have sold between so
and 10 cents. Cigarette cutters of all
fine to fancy cutters are frequently
sold ut 80 to SO cents, while the lower
grades selling under % cents appear
TO be relatively dcarcr, owing to the
greater competition. on the whole,
prices are thought to have advanced
slightly, Notwithstanding the heavy
receipts. The demand from all sources
is very active, and does not appear to
have been in the least affected by the
difficulties of exporting facilities.
In Eastern Carolina two-thrds Of
the crop is said to be out Of the farm
crs' hands already, and the balance OF
the crop will he marketed as rapidly
as possible. In the old belt districts
the crop is expected to be marketed
equally as rapidly.
There Is II fair amount of trading in
rcdried new tobaccos; but dealers have
bought SO little OF the present crop
that there is not much offering. There
is practically no old tobacco the

the growers of the weed. both dark
and bright, carried of premiums, blue

proud But the best premiums the to-

past week were the big prices they got
for the priminEs and the early offer
ings OF the sun-curcd goods in Fridays
auction sales at tho Richmond ware
houses.
1t is true that tho sales were small,
because of fair week. a dry season and
other conditions. and less than $1,000
pounds were placed upon the warehouse
floors on Friday. but the buyers were
out in full force, and they did some
spirited bidding for the goods that
were offered. The high-watcr mark
for the primings was SIS per 100. and
this figure pleased the sellers not II

OPENED THIS WEEK
The regular sales for the sun cured

there shall come IL season I'm the mean
time, the breaks probably will be large.
However, the wnrchuuScmen. who are
also somewhat OF weather prophets. do
not look for season just yet, and the
proba bility is that the breaks will be

buyers are eager for the goods. and
whatever may be tho quantity of the
offerings, it is sure that they will
bring big figures.
The Indications arc that the sun
cured goods Will be marketed In Rich

fore known in the history of the trads.
Estimates are that something over TO-
100000 pounds of Sun-curcd will hit
the Richmond warehouse floors this
