Great Record Made This Season
BY Richmond's Two

VIII close friday, March lLttl.
This has been finally decided upon
as it is believed that all weed that
is out will be on the floors on that
day The last sale will be held
Friday, the 18th, and the season
will then close as far as the local
market is concerned. There was
some selling Monday and there
will be other sales on Friday,
March 5th, and Tuesday, the 9th,
with the closing sale on the 18th.
The season just closing has
been the most successful ever
known on the local market. Grow
ers have received higher prices
than ever before in the history of
tobacco raising and everyone is
we'll pleased. SO far the Rich
mond market has sold over 5000
900 pounds and there will be sew
eral hundred thousand pounds
sold before the close comes. Su-
