Second Place

The Maysville Tobacco Market
closed yesterday after one of the most
successful seasons since the be-
ginning of the looseleaf market
in 1909. The records show total OF
24,O14,315 pounds Of tobacco sold. for
which was paid the enormous sum OF
$4,136,491.50, an average of $17.22 per
hundred pounds.
Since the beginning Of theq loose
leaf market in Maysville there has
been sold total of 145,21S,394 pounds
of tobacco at an average of $11.24 for
the total amount. OF the eight years
the market for 1867 is the best, the
average of the season being about GO
per cent higher than that of last year
and over double that of the year be-
fore.
The Seasons Market
The market this year was undoubt-
edly the best all around ever known
Not since the Civil War have such
prices been given for low and medium
grades of tobacco as there were this
year. The low price of the year, if we
remember correctly, was given soor
after the withdrawal of the American
Tobacco Co. from the market, about
the first of February, at which time
basket selling at s5.75 per hundred
pounds was reported to this office.
The season opened very auspicious
ly. Spectators had been offerint
good prices for the tobacco, while ye
uncut and all were on tip-toes, so Il
speak, to see If they were to be foole'
in the least In their buying.
But the market was even bette
than expected. The average of tn
sales of the first day was $16.S2, al
! most two dollars higher than predict
ed. The first part of the season o.
account of the dry weather the sale
were very light, but after the Christ
mas holidays the market soon bega
to pick up and before long daily av
erage of $19 per hundred pounds ha
been reached.
Withdrawal Of the American
Then came the withdrawal of tn
American Tobacco Company from tn
market. Spectators Immediately be
came panic stricken, thinking that tn
market would decrease until price.
half of the former ones were giver
The other buyers came to the rescu
however and, although, the marke
dropped, it was a steady decline. Th
American resumed buying within
few days, but the market did not re
gain its former place.
| For the past month the sales hav
been slow, now and then enlivene
with some good crops bringing avel
lagos of 500 or above
1 The Total Sales
Speculation has been rife during tn
season as to the total number {
pounds that would be sold. At tn
beginning Of the season the extreme
were fifteen and thirty million, an
many wagers were made on the r.
suits. We understand that one ma
placed the sales as high as 35 mllllo
before the season started.
The sales, although not as great {
in the season of 1914-15, are not fl
behind the record of that year. TT
sales this years were all straight, vel
little tobacco being resold, as in Il
case during that season.
