of considerably last week In tho

eninE in the prices paid for wrappers
and the higher grade of cutters nut
otherwise the high prices that havc
carried so much JOY TO the growers
Of the bright leaf ever since the OPEN
inc of the present season wore main
tanned.
The receipts of sun-curca leaf OF the
Richmond market were small AS com
pared with the past four weeks. the
"alee amounting TO only about lnV,ooe
bounds. The growers OF the sun-curcd
leaf have not had season for hand
ling the weed since the opening OF
November and they do not deem II
advisable to force the order" This.
together with the news OF the slump
in prices, deferred them from rushing
the weed to the warehouses last week.
The market showed but little change
from the previous week. the expected
rally from the slump In prices having
failed to materialize. The average
price last week for all sun-cured stock
WAS about 323 per hundred. However.
there were very few wrappers in the
deliveries. and this accounts in some
measure for the reduced average.
The warchousemen do not look for
larger receipts until there shall come
season, that Is to say. few days
OF warmer and rainy weather.
DanvilIe Market Firm and Active.
DANVILLE. VA. November 1.-THE
receipts OF leaf tobacco this week were
not as large as last week, owing to
unfavorable weather for tho handling
Of the loose leaf. The deliveries
amounted to but a little over 1000, 300
pounds. The average paid this week
was about 335. Good to fine wrappers
showed up In good proportion to other
tobaccos and on the finer goods there
was a slight weakening in prices. All
other grades Of leaf remain firm at
former quotations. Still lighter re-
ceipts arc looked for next week. owing
TO the fact that there has not been
season for several weeks and me
farmers have marketed about all OF the
weed they struck down during the last
season.
