Season Starts
SALES BLOCKED BY
VERY HEAVY BREAK
Floors Cleared Today, How
ever, With Increaped Of
ferings Looked for Toward
End of Week; Prices Here
Among Best in Any Flue-
Cured Market

Official figures announced to-
day by J. R. McDuffie, sales
supervisor revealed that the
opening sale on the Henderson
tobacco market as the season
started Tuesday amounted to
496,154 pounds, which brought
$13O,857.59 for an average Of
$26.37 per hundred.
1t was the highest opening day
average the Henderson market has
had since 1919, with the exception of
1884, when the figure was about a
quarter of a cent per pound better
than that of Tuesday.
Growers were highly pleased with
the prices paid for their offerings,
and were optimistic over the outlook
for the season. The market was
blocked by an estimated 100000 to
100000 pounds left over, but which,
together with new offerings brought
in, was cleared in today's sales.
Heavier offerings are looked for
Thursday and Friday, and especial
ly Friday. Averages made here
Tuesday for the opening were among
the best for any flue-cured market
in any belt already opened for this
season.
Warehousemen said the market
average would have been much high
