Over 100000 Pounds
Average for Season Through Friday Exceed
IS Gents, Supervisor states; Better Grades
Appearing and Better Prize Likely

An unusually large volume of dee!-
aged tobacco held back sales and re-
duced the general price average A.
len said.
Friday sales saw much Of the con-
gestion relieved, with sales eXpcctca
to revert more nearly to normal br
Monday. The supervisor said systems
had been worked out whereby tn-
bacco will not have to remain oa
floors for several days before being
sold, thus eliminating the possbi II
of the leaf damaging to the eXteut
of the past several days. He added
that better grades are now appCst-
ing on warehouse floors, with the
consequent Improvement Of price
averages.
Prices the past week were doscrib-
ed as considerably higher" DIAN

tobacco holiday in mid-Soptcmbc=
Prices here were we'll in line with
other markets, and in some instances
higher, Mr.. Allen stated.
Domestic and export types Of AL
description appear TO be in good de-
mand, particularly the better grade
and considerable competition Was
noted on all sales for all SQUAD
grades Of tobacco, the supervisor
said.
| Farmers have been urged to hcn
/ as far as possible in their power, -
help relieve the congested condition
that were prevalent during the p,
week, by marketing their leaf NOR
slowly. Many farmers interviews j
on the market Friday expressed the
purpose to withhold their tobacco
from the market for a week or So
and then sell it in somewhat smaller
quantities.
