The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1919-02-18

w Hen the week 8 sales closed Oh
the Paris market Friday night a sea-
sons total of S,924,S05 pounds of to-
bacco had been sold or, the floors of
The different houses. OF this amount
the Independent House sold ,809,-
$50 pounds for an average of $42.23,
and the Bourbon Tobacco Warehouse
Company sold a total of 6,924,805
pounds, for an average of $42A7.
The receipts for the past week
were rather light, owing to the dry
weather, but = the weekend rains
again put the tobacco in good lease, "
and heavy receipts are again looked
for this week. Close estimates place
the tobacco in this county yet to be
placed on the market at about three
million pounds. This is now being
rapidly stripped and prepared for the
market. 1t is estimated that between
eleven and twelve million pounds of
tobacco will have been sold on the
floors of the Paris houses when the
season has reached the end. This will
be an increase of two million pounds
over that of last season. So rapidly
has the Paris market advanced that
both the Independent and the Bour-
bon Warehouse companies are plan
mig the erection of new brick ware
houses to hold an immense quantity
of tobacco for next season, which,
Judging from preparation being made
by the growers and predictions made
by well-posted tobacco men, will be
one of the greatest and most profit
able ever known in the history OF
the" industry.

season. Mr. Wicoff came to Paris
