Hemingway July 25.-Our tobacco
market opened Tuesday, the 10th with
$4,000 pounds of the weed offered for
sale. Prices were fairly good, rang
ing from S1.e0 to S26.00 per hundred
pounds The farmers generally were
we'll pleased at the beginning. Since
the opening, however, much of the
burnt and green stock has been offered
creating some dissatisfaction, but the
current opinion is that when these
grades are throuh selling all clean
and desirable tobacco will sell well.
The citizens are organized into a
working board of trade for the good
of the market and will do much good
towards the upbullding of the Hem
ingway tobacco market. Sales are
expected to improve in quality this
week and prices will likewise improve
so that we may hope to report some
good prices for this week.
