Sales Supervisor. Henderson
Tohaor0 Market.

The Henderson tobacco market,
with 15.889,280 pounds sold through
last night. is far ahead Of the same
date last year or the wear before. A.
though many concede this hlgher
tonnage to the increase IN the local
crop. the extensive advertising Ell
forts carried on by the market have
borne fruit which IS proven by the
large amount Of tobacco sold from
many far away points. Tobacco has
been brought to Henderson many
times this season from points welt
over two hundred miles away, and
although some types Of these tobac-
cos from far awoy points are not
comparable to tobacco grown in this
belt, it has been graded by buyers
and has brought very satisfactory
prices. which is also borne out by
the return of many of these long dis
lance sellers.
The Henderson market sold yester
day 566,744 pounds for S97, 63823, or
an average for all grades Of Sl7.29,
bringing the seasons totals to 49,
889 ,28O pounds for an average Of
1854.
year in the same number of selling
days-27-10,18 1874 pounds, and in
1887, 10,977438 pounds Most est
mates from tobacco officials place
the crop in this territory as approx
mately so per cent sold, althoug h
heavy offerings are anticipated on
the local market from now until
Christmas. While there is no chance
for the market to close for the sea-
son at Christmas, as it did last year
for the first time in the markets his
tory, sales following Christmas, are
not expected to exceed possibly two
million pounds, and this pOundage
would probably be sold in two weeks
time No date has been set as yet for
Thanksgiving on the local market;
however, it is expected to be set for
November 80, following Governor
Hoey's proclamation for ThankSgiv-
Ling on that date.
Over two and half million dollars
have been paid out to farmers thro-
ughOut the Henderson trading terri
tory since the market opened in Sep
tember The crop which is now being
sold was an expensive one to make,
and a large part Of the money paid
out has been used on defraying costs
of producing the crop. For the past
two weeks, however, local merchants
have begun to feel the results of the
market by a good increase in sales.
With approximately two and a half
million more dollars expected to be
paid out on the tobacco market,
large percentage Of this amount will
find its way into local trade chan
nels as tobacco growers purchase
their winter needs
Farmers during the past season so
far have been very we'll satisfied
over prices which have been paid
for leaf. While prices have been low
er on many grades, as compared to
previous years, about the same a.
mount OF money or more will be
paid out this year due to the increase
Of tobacco. A much smaller amount
Of tickets have been turned on to-
baccO thus far this season, showing
that farmers, while anxious for a
higher price, are not entirely dis
pleased with prices their crop is
