TOBACCO PRICES
HOLDING UP WELL
Good Tobacco Commands
Fair Price, But Offer
ings Rather Poor.
(By w. B. Kennedy.l

The market has been some more
active this week than last. Still the
sales have been light. Somehow
farmers are not hauling off and
6isposing of their stock as fast as
we had expected. The greater part
of what is moving is low and com
mon grades. All of it shows deteri
Grafton that has been hanging in the
barns through the summer months
and the greater part of it is selling
at very low prices. AT the same
time when anything with merit
makes its appearance it sells rather
high. Prices are ranging from s
to cents for low leaf 8 to l..
cents for common, IL to 20 cents
for medium. Nothing above medium
offering. Lugs where sold with tht
leaf on wagons bring from / to 2
cents. These prices are not satisfy
ing farmers but they realize their
tobacco is low grade and most OF
them are selling. At the same time
number of them are having their
crops packed in hhds. for future
sale.
Some of the larger buying inter
ests have re-entered the market,
while others are disseminating, but
the market prices continue about
the same as they have been for the
past month.
Some sales of hid. tobacco have
been reported. Most of which was
self workers and wrappers of the
1920 crop at prices ranging from
20 to 35 cents. There is very little
activity in Jugs or the common
grades of leaf in hhds.
We have had good general rains
over the district and the weather is
considerably cooler, which is helping
the growing crop, and we look for
rapid improvement since the much
needed rains have come, but the
rains were not good over the entire
territory. Some sections having
more than others, and Improvement
can not be general like it would
have been with good soaking
season. but we should see a big cut
come in the crop right away.
The crop is looking well, but
very irregular and late. A very
topped but topping will become gen
eral now and will continue until the
crop is harvested
1t is impossible to say what the
crop will be, but the present indica-
tons are the greater part of it will
be very late in maturing, and wealth
er conditions must be perfect for
the crop to mature and make good
yield, but this we will hope for
and hope some of the shortage in
acreage may be overcome by the
extra yield, but conditions today do
not justify this belief.
