WEATHER HAS EFFECT ON
TOBACCO SALES IN SOUTH
Smaller Deliveries Last Week OH
South Carolina Alarkcts-Big
Buyers Still Eager for Weed.

Weather conditions in the bright
tobacco growing regions of South
Carolina and Georgia were not ia
vorabie las; week for heavy deliveries
OF the weed on the markets. Then
the growers, who have so far cut and
crop. were giving their best atten-
ton to the tobacco still standing and
took but little time for marketing
that which had already been cut and
cured.
For thcse reasons the saleston the
markets IN both states were smaller
than the week previous. The Gc-
mand on the part OF the big COM
and everything else on the market
Was as active as ever. and. for the
better grades of bright leaf seemed
TO he even keencr. There was some
grades brought. but the better
grades were higher than the week
previous and the breaks. showing a
somewhat larger proportion OF the
was greater than the week before. be-
ing. on the South Carolina markets
around S3l per hundred pounds.
Favorable Reports From Other Fields.
From both South Carolina and
Georgia there come reports of some
damage by rains 10 that part of the
crop remaining on the bill and this,
Il is believed. will reduce the size OF
the crop from former estimates. Even
before this damage was done II was
known that the South Carolina crop
would not weigh out as much as that
of last year.
The growers all over eastern North
Carolina are as busy as can be cut
ting and curing, and all reports agree
that the eastern Carolina crop OF this
year will be the largest that new to-
bacco growing region ever produced.
The damage done last week by the
rains was about in spots and in no
large section was II serious.
All the reports from the old belt
of Virginia continue 10 tell OF the
finest crop of bright TOBACCO for sew
eral years. There has been much
early cutting and the indications now
are that the crop will be housed and
cured much earlier than usual. Fewer
primings are being saved this year
than last. and that is giving the
farmers a better chance at early cut
ting and curing OF the main crop. So
far the late rains have done no harm
in the Virginia Carolina old belt. and.
generally speaking the crop may be
said to have passed all danger
points.
