Coming IN Streams.
There is probably the biggest rush
on the Maysville tobacco market to-
day that there has been this season.
Every house was filled this morning
and wagons were standing in the
streets In front of most every one OF
the warehouses waiting for room to
get in to be unloaded.
Sales were In progress at the Plant
ers and the Home warehouses-th
two largest houses in the city. Both
houses were we'll filled and although
the buyers are working fast and the
auctioneers are moving rapidly thru
the lines of baskets the weed keeps
coming in over all roads and It appears
as though there would be pretty big
block the rest Of the week. Ware
housemen think however. that as
soon as the sales reach the smaller
houses more progress can be made
and the block will soon be cleared
again.
Redrying houses are working day
and night forces at top notch speed
and are handling great amount of
tobacco. They are endeavoring to
keep the tobacco away from the ware
house floors as quickly as 1t is sold to
prevent any blocking in that end OF
the business and they feel certain that
they will be able to handle the stu
alton well without any Jam such as
the market has experienced before by
the redrying houses being unable to
handle the tobacco quickly.
