Big Sales on Wednesday,

The two tobacco sales at the Glow

Wednesday and Thursday of last
week were very successful The bask-
cts brought good prices, one basket

There seemed to have been a de-
mand among the buyers for trash
grade tobacco, and in some instances
the trash brought better prices than
the Tugs
Apparently the farmers were well
satisfied with the prices their weed
paid them, and many of them who at
tended the sales were overheard to
remark that they had never seen GER
tain grades of tobacco that was sold
on this floor bring such high prices.
