The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-05-12

We were very much surprised on
Thursday evening to be told that it
was expected that around 200 cases of
tobacco were to be delivered at West
Manchester on Friday, and that the
buyers had secured the bulk of it at
cents to cents per pound. On ask
ing if this leaf was off-grade stuff we
were told that it was good tobacco;
in fact, was the very same tobacco
some of the sellers had refused II
cents for when that was the going
price Our informant, w. B. Eddins,
of Eldorado, is leaf buyer. He says
that he understood this tobacco is TO
be worked at West Manchester, and
! that it was bought for Smith Bros.
who are interested at Greenville, Bal
timore and other points where they
have storage. Mr. Eddins was under
the impression that some deliveries
were made to the same concern at
| Greenville on Thursday.
What was paid at Greenville was not
| learned, but if to s cents per pound
has been the recent price in the Edo
RADIO district, that is likely to be the
figure paid at Greenville. After inves-
tigation we shall print the facts relat-
] ing to the amount of tobacco recently
! bought, and the prices paid No doubt
there are holders who refused II cents
who are still less inclined to sell now
What the effect will be on the planting
/ this spring would seem self-evident

acreage in the Miami valley will ex

The present Equity elevator former

Eaton, and was taken over last June
in time to handle the wheat harvest
i Wheat Is LOOKING Fine.
i The elevator at Lewisburg, Ohio
reDorts that the late and wet season
will result in an increase of thei
corn acreage, at the expense of oats
Considerable land DESIGNED for oat
will go into corn, is the statement
Corn planting has begun to get vel
under way in the Lewisburg section
They were bidding s127 for wheat an
80 cents for corn both on a shippin
basis, on THURSDAY morning. TIL
Jump of 8 cents in Nav wheat durin
|, the day advanced the Lewisburg bid
a trifle. Growing wheat looks YER
promising, It's claimed.
o. V. Chance, manager of the Louis
vile elevator, thinks that while whea
looks well, the crop will be short
comparatively, because of POSSIBLY
. IS per cent reduction in acreage las
, fall. Mr. Chance says that corn plant
. ing has just begun over his way Dat
will be a short crop because of lat
season. He was paying So cents 70
corn on Thursday, but no wheat wa
I coming in, being about cleaned up.
