BURLEY TOBACCO SALES
RESUMED IN KENTUCKY
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LEXINGTON, KY. January 8.-Sales
of hurley tobacco halted in December
after weeks sales were reopened in
Kentucky again today but promptly
closed at Carrollton and at some ware
houses in Hopkinsville and Owensboro
because of dissatisfaction with prices
offered.
First sales at Lexington indicated a
price trend of around S12 for 100
pounds, practically the same as in
December, and the minimum figure set
in the hurley marketing agreement
signed last week.
AT Richmond prices of around S12 so
to $13 were indicated and growers who
expressed themselves seemed satisfied
Those at Carrollton shouted down the
auctions before a definite price trend
could be learned.
ASHEVILLE, N. c., January CP.-
Burley tobacco brought an average price
of $3.50 per 100 during the first hour
of resumed sales here today. This was
2 cents less than the price paid prior
kets in the principal hurley States.
