nounce Ready For the Opening Of
the1919-20 Market on Next
Tuesday-Good Breaks Of
Tobacco Expected.

Although there is now no great
quantity Of tobacco on the floor of the
local looseleaf tobacco warehouses, all
local warehousemen are expecting
good breaks on their floors when the
market Is formally opened on Tues
day morning at o'clock. 1t is thought
that there will be quite rush of the
weed to market on Monday and quite
number Of farmers are planning to
bring in several loads on Saturday
and Sunday nights.
Every warehouse on the market is
ready with its complete organization.
Tobacco men are arriving in Maysville
| today in goodly numbers and all trains
reaching here Monday are expected to
bring others ready for the season of
fighting for high prices. The buildings
have been rut in shape for the open
| ing. All of the houses will have the
same floor space for this season with
the exception of the Growers, which
during the vacation period, has been
building and has doubled their eitire
floor space.
The majority of the employees of the
warehouses will begin their work on
Monday getting the tobacco, which by
that time shall have arrived at the
houses, lined up for the safes.
The opening sale will be determined
lat meeting probably to be held on
Monday night The sale will be start
ed by Supervisor Mitchell promptly at
10 o'clock on Tuesday morning and
only one set Of buyers will be used
until the big rush comes when there
will be two sets and If the rush is
large enough to warrant it, three sets
OF buyers may be used this season.
The majority of the buyers repre-
senting all of the large dealers are
now on hand and those who are miss
ing will arrive before the sales begin
and all of the regular factories will
be represented in the buyers line
when the gong is sounded.
1
A great crowd of people, dealers
and growers from all over this en-.
tire district are expected here on the
opening day and the city will be
thronged with people anxious to know
how the Maysville market starts fol
the starting price on this market will
have much to do with the opening
price on the smaller markets in this
district
Every indication is that the price OF
the Maysville market will be as goot
If not better than the opening price
on the Lexington market and ever,
farmer who can possibly do so SHOULD
have load on the opening sales.
