TOBACCO SEASON CLOSES;
LAST OF SUN-CURED CROP IN
Richuuond Warehouses Are Now Lone
some Plncen mud the Long Holiday
season Has BcEun.

The season for the sale OF loose leaf
business at the warehouses last week.
There are no offerings OF frc-cured
leaf. tho growers OF this type OF to-
baccc having apparently sold their last
pound. The offerings OF sun-curcd
amounted to less than $4,000 pounds.
and this. too, seemed TO be about IN,
las; to come. although there may be
a few loads 10 wind up with this wcc,i.
\ lot Of good white hurley leaf. grown
in Western North Carolina. was sold
at Shockoe warehouse last week, and
tho sellers reported that it was the
last OF the crop OF that type TO be
offered in Richmond. This hurley was
"f good quality. and the 12.500 pounds
offered brought outside figures. one lot
going for $40 per hundred. The sun
cured goods offered sold at figures as
good rs any Of the season.
An idea Of tho scarcity OF leaf stock
may be gathered from tho fact that
New Yorker. in quest of bright leaf
has been on the Richmond market in
search of anything he could find. and
he cmptied the bins of the dealers OF
all the samples he could locate. lie
managed to gather up enough samples
of one grade and another to make
several ticrccs. and had them hauled 10
the prize house of prominent dealer
and priced into t.crccs for immediate
shipment. Thus tho dealers pick cd quite
little pile of pin money.
