l00SE-LEAF SEASON 5
WEEKS LATER THAN USUAL
Continued Dry Weather Re-
tards Marketing of
Tobacco.
OPENING BREAKS ARE SMALL.
Few Farmers bringing Small Lots
To Test Market and Ascertni State
OF Mind of Iiuycrs-PrIceS Obtained
GrntIfyIpE.

The opening OF the loose leaf to-
barco selling season in Richmond
was three weeks later this year than
usual. and IL might well have been
put off at least II week longer. Be-
cause OF the continued dry weather,
the growers of tho sun-curcd weed
could not get the goods In order for
marketing. and the opening breaks
last week were consequently very
small.
However. IL few farmers brought
In small lots, merely to test the mar
ket and ascertain the state Of mind
OF the buyers. II may be said that
they were highly pleased with the
prices they obtained for the few
thousand pounds of sun-cured they
brought to the warehouses for the
auction sales.
The offerings. in tho main. were OF
common leaf. with hero and there a
pile that could be called good 10 very
GOOD, but there was no Offering of
strictly fine. The prices paid ranged
from SIS TO s43 per 100 pounds, tho
average on the entire weeks offer
ings being around sl3. These figures
are much better than those paid tho
opening week OF last year, the aver
age for that week being $3.50 per
100.
Taking the lots sold tho pas week
as a criterion. 81 is certain that this
years crop Of sun-cured Is much bet
ter than that OF last year. II is true
that there is much OF the low grades
or the leaf in the crop. but there Is
much smaller proportion OF the
very common and far low grades
than In last years crop. and no dam
aged leat has yet shown up. The
farmers have had splendid seasons
for curing the weed. and little, or
none. has been damaged in the cur
Ing process.
IT is believed that the rains OF last
week brought forth a partial sea
son" that enabled the farmers to
strip goodiy quantity of their to-
baccos. and get IL in marketing or
der for this week. The Warehouse
men. therefore. look for heavier, de-
hvcries this week. The first sales
OF the week Will be on Tuesday.
