Lancaster Growers Expect Higher

Lancaster. Pa, Aug. 21.-The Buying
of Lancaster c0untyS new tobacco

representatives of several big clear
firms from outside the county. but the
sales were few.
Numerous buyers were inathe field,
but they agad the growers could moi sst
made above twenty cents a pound for
wrappers and eight cents for filters
the offers as rule were twenty cents
am rOUr cents.
This was just FIVE cents below what
most of the growers are demanding
for their crops. As a matter of fact
the growers have no desire TO sell now
preferring to go on the principle that
if their tobacco is worth certain sum
TO the packer Just now il Is worth as
much to the grower. So they prefer
to hold on to t'eir crop in expectation
OF getting higher prices later in the
season. They know. as well as the
packer. that old tobacco Is scarce and
daily growing scarcer. which means a
aigher value for the new crop.
