Meanwhile. independent meet

Virginia Expects
Bumper Leaf Crop;
Curing Under Way
Flue-Cured Tobacco
Yield to Be Largest
Since 1927, Is Report
BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 12.-
Henry M. Taylor, agricultural statis-
tician, said today the largest flue-
cured tobacco crop since 1927 was
in prospect for Virginia leaf grow
ers. Ffre-cured. hurley and sun
cured crops also were above aver
age, he said.
Mr.. Taylor, statistician with the
Virginia cooperative crop report
Ing service, said the f1ue-cured crop
matured about week or 10 days
earlier than expected and that cur
ing already was under way.
Frequent rains during the latter
part OF July caused heavy growth
and some damage from firing re-
suited, but the damage was not
expected to be serious II weather
conditions were favorable during
the next two or three weeks.
Well Above 1888 Figure.
The estimated production as OF
August was 93,775,0O0 pounds. >
per cent above the July forecast.
The 1898 crop was 71,710,OOO pounds
and the average for the lO-year Pc
riod 1928-l937 was IS. .O93 600 pounds.
Mr.. Taylor said If the present
crop materialized it would be the
largest f1ue-cured production since
1927, when 95,OO00O0 pounds were
harvested.
The fire-cured crop, which grew
rapidly during July, was damaged
In some places due to too much
rain. The estimated production Of
l7,655.OO0 pounds, Mr.. Taylor said,
was about 10 per cent larger than the
July forecast and was also greater
than the small 1888 crop of a.
484000 pounds.
Burley Progress Slow.
The crop reporting service said
hurley tobacco had made slow prog
ress during the early season and
that on August the crop had not
recovered from its poor start. Pro-
duction was estimated at 1880, 900
pounds in Virginia, compared with
the 1888 crop Of 10,528 900 pounds.
Sun-cured tobacco production was
expected to be above average due
to rapid growth during July, Mr..
Taylor said, although some growers
reported there was too much rain
during the latter part of July for
proper growth. The total produc-
tion OF sun-cured was estimated
at 2490 900 pounds, compared with
2,l84000 pounds last year and s.
004 900 pounds for the lO-year aver
age.

Bond Market Makes
Minor Advance
|nLight Session
Trading Is Smallest
For Any Saturday
Since 1918
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. l2.-In the
smallest Saturday trading since
1918 the bond market advanced q
little today
Some rails and utilities rose for
gains running to a point or so.
Dealings were too restricted to make
much difference in prices in the
rank and file of the list
A better tone in the stock market
helped encourage investment de-
mand. Reports of a further rise in
steel operations in leading indus
trial centers kept hopes high for the
business future.
Transactions in foreign bonds were
scant, while traders waited the out
come of the Italian talks
and the next move in the European
power politics" play. United States
Treasury loans held to a narrow
groove.
For the two hours bonds with
a face value of $1,071,0O were
traded, compared with 1888 300 a
week ago. Only rails among the four
major groups In the Associated Press
averages showed any change. The
20 carrier bonds on the average were
up i at 57.1.
Finishing fractionally to more
than point higher were Western
