after the holidays on Monday, jan
ua1y IS vacation period of slightly
more than four weeks. Officials of the
board have been advised formally that
the Durham market will observe the
same holiday dates, and, while moth
ing positive has come from Oxford, it
is considered certain that market will
fall in line with the other two largest
markets Of the Middle Belt.
1t now appears that season sales
on the Henderson, market will be we'll
over the 10000, 0OO-pound mark, or
slightly less than 1895, due to the
sharp and drastic reduction in the
years production as the result of UNI
favorable growing weather during the
late spring and early summer.
Official figures for the weekend
sale on Friday on the Henderson mar
ket showed a total of 314 ,464 pounds,
which brought $68 51702 for an aver
age of $21.53. Price levels continue
high, and the slight decline in aver
ages is ascribed to the inferior types
of leaf offered.
