LEXINGTON. XIV.

BY the Associated Press.
LEXINGTON, Ky, December g.
Kentucky's tobacco problem became
more complicated yesterday as hurley
growers, irate over low prices, halted
opening sales at four warehouses here
by shouting them down as the dark leaf
growers did last week when sales open
ed at Owensboro, Henderson and
Seottsville.
The reopening of the three dark to-
bacco markets forced to close last week
was attended by slightly better prices
than week ago and, aside from some
verbal protests over warehouse charges
for selling, there was no interruption.
The entire Kentucky tobacco produc-
ton has been estimated by the United
States Department of Agriculture at
5e2, ,565 900 pounds, IS per cent more
than last year and So per cent more
than the average production from 1928

Weiner, leader of the protesting farm
ers here, were elected from one ware
house without their intended prisoner.
AS the sales progressed during the

jections and demonstrated so vehe-
mently that sales were postponed until
the afternoon. On several occasions
fists were swung freely but no casual
ties were reported.

chairman.
However, the four warehousemen in
dicated they would resume sales If pos
sible with police aid. The 18 other
here have scheduled sales.
Approximately 1900 growers took
part in the demonstrations. 1t was es-
timated more than 5000 farmers were
here for the sales.
Average Price SII74.
Sales amounted to eo2.61o pounds and
brought $40, ,792.99 for an average of
s1l.74 per hundred pounds, compared

RICHMOND. Va, December 8.-Vir-
ginia's "orchard-to- market tour" con-
tinued its invasion of the English apple
markets Saturday, 1t was stated In q
caolegram received by the Virginia
state Chamber Of Commerce.
The Virginisns were the guests of the
London Fruit Brokers Association at
dinner Saturday night. The party was
said to be much impressed with its
inspection during the day of the Lon
con Fruit Exchange and the Spittal-
fields Market
Verbon Kemp. executive secretary Of
the party. states that much valuable
information has been obtained by the
growers which, If adopted. will vitality
affect their system of shipping and
packing. Besides inspecting the mar
kets. the party conferred with F. A.
Motz, formerly of the extenson division
of Virginia Polytechnic Institute, now

Railroad Wage Question.

NEW YORK, December 8 (SpeciaD -
The beginning Of conferences in Chi
cago between representatives of the four
railroad brotherhoods had tendency
to check speculation in railroad stocks.
Their market was also influenced by
the impending decisions in the New

New Haven dividend policies. The news
over the week end from Washington
that the administration was inclined to
postpone any specific recommendations
Of relief of the railroad credit situation
was discouraging, as Wall Street Of late

STOCK YIELD UP
TO 1Q.4 PER CENT
Average for 308 Issues Used
in Comparisons-RaiIs
at Record Peak.

Average yield ON the 3es active CASH
dividend paying common stocks listed
ON the New York Stock Exchange
amounted to la.44 per cent December /.
according to Meody's Investors service.
The average return one month earlier
was s.72 per cent, comparing with IL .O4
per cent at the low prices oil October s.
Ine fact that the current yield is still
so Iar below that of the October lows Is
partly explained by the somewhat
nigher prices except for rails) and by
the large number of dividend reductions
ana omissions during the last two
months Moodys states. Another con-
triouting factor is the better resistance
10 price declines which has been dis
played by the low-priced stocks as a
group, when contrasted with the
higher-valued shares.
For this reason" the analysis con-
tinues, "an average covering practically
the entire active list ON the New York
Stock Exchange tends to be relatively
higher, compared to the October lows,
tnan are some stock averages which are
either heavily weighted by the rails or
else based largely on the higher priced
issues"
The Moody daily index of prices for
100 stocks was 3l2 points higher De-
cember l than ON October 5, although
the additional declines last "wednesday
brought 1T approximately within the
October range
The yield on rails established a new
high December /, with an average of
12.07 per cent, as compared with 1854
per cent early in October.
