Buyers Active In Northern
End Of Black Patch
Weed Section.
Price Ranging Up From 20
Cents; Some Selling
At -35 High.
Local Buyers Are Not Yet
Ready To Enter The
Buying Field.

The market for loose tobacco of
good and fine quality has been ac-
tive in the country around Murray
Mayfield and Fulton, with quite a
good deal of tobacco selling. Prices
ranging from 20 to 35 cents for
leaf. OF course these are the best
crops in the district and are bring
ing more money than we expected to
see. A great part of the buying is
by spectators. At the same time
good. part of it is being taken on
orders, and farmers are very much
delighted who have tobacco of the
kind and quality that is being sought
after. Lugs are bringing from to 6
cents when sold with the leaf,
A few scattering loads of low,
common and medium leaf have found
their way to the street markets.
These are selling relatively lower.
Quite q good deal of the common,
nondescript leaf selling at to 10
cents, and some medium leaf sold
up as high as 20 cents on the street
markets, but as a rule the sales are
of the low and common grades
which are selling at low prices.
Very few of the larger buying inter
ests have entered the market and it
Is hard to say what prices will be
on the common and medium grades,
but we expect to see more activity
and more of the buying interests
interested from now on.
Buyers have had good opportunity
for inspecting the new crop, sand all

fine leaf very much Low our esti-
mates. The crop ~ a showy one
and most of it has been well fired,
but a great deal OF 1t is lacking In
.lnish and body A. the same time
the show and cor will help to
make prices better than they would
be IL it was dead and colorless.
We have had no loose floor sales
so far but they will likely open in
a few days.
The hid. market has been more
active this week than for some time.
The Planters Association has sold
something over 800 hhds of 1919
crop. which were made up of low
and common -grades of leaf with
prices ranging from 10 to Is cents.
They also sold a few hhds of some
better grades of 1920 crop at prices
ranging from Is to 20 cents. There
have also been a few hhds. sold
privately by Independent dealers and
the market has in every way been
more active in old stock.
The weather for the past week
has been pleasant with sufficient
moisture to keep tobacco in case and
a large part of the new crop has
been stripped and gotten ready for
market.
