~ TOBACCO MARKETS :
><<>>>>>>>>>>>>S
A lower average prevailed on the
Paris market at the sales held Fri
day, owing partly to the fact that
the offerings were mainly that por-
ton of the crop that had matured
late, and had colored badly in the
barns. Wherever crops that had
color and texture were offered UNI
der the auctioneer's hammer they
brought fair prices. The sale was
blocked at the Bourbon Tobacco
Warehouse, and no report was OBJ
tanned. The block sale at the INDIE
pendent House showed a floor of
149,500 pounds, which sold for an
average of $56.21. 4
At the Bourbon House, Friday.
Willis Hamm, of Nicholas county,
sold a crop from two acres, amount
ing to 1895 pounds, for an average
of S75.77. Mr.. Hamm purchased
the land on which the crop was
raised for 5000 per acre. and the to-
bacco produced this year on the
place will almost pay for it.
The Paris market will close for
the Christmas holidays on Tuesday,
December %, and reopen on Mon
Gay, December 20.
At Lexington, five acres of tobac-
so raised by boys at the Odd Eel
lows Home, not over fifteen years
of age, sold for $4,554.3O, an aver
arge of $76.56, or $910.85 an acre.

Local market men have noted with
a great deal of satisfaction the fact
that I'D to date there has been very
little tobacco sold on other markets
by the Bourbon county growers.
They seem to be satisfied with the
home market, which is logical bit
of reasoning, due to the fact that
they are getting the very pest
prices and the most courteous treat
ment at the hands of the local ware
hOusemen.
Two tobacco growers, well-knoWn
in the city and county as Liberal.
open-handed men, square in all their
dealings, and men whose word is as
good as their bond, were discussing
the tobacco markets yesterday morn
too in q local restaurant. Alter
