bacco Expected Mon
day, it'll Better
Prices.

Sales on the Henderson tobacco
market for the week were capacity
ones. marked on several days by two
and three dollar jumps in prices LOT
the entire market average, Fred M
Allen. sales supervisor, stated To-Day.
Over two and three quarter million
mounds Of tobacco were sold during
the week. bringing the seasons total
TO a mere fraction short OF the ten
million pound mark, or four million
pounds ahead Of the same number OF
selling days last year, the supervisor
said
Fridays sales amounted to 61O,018
pounds, which sold for $11O, 405.49,
or an official average Of Sl8.ll per
hundred.
Sales for the week were 2,086,59O
pounds, bringing total Of S497,-
297.60, the average being S17.24.
Seasons sales total 9,939,5o2
pounds, for s1,453, 1862, the sea-
sons average being S14.65.
Comparing Fridays average and
the past weeks average the super
visor said, with that of the entire
season, shows that prices have in
creased during the past week.
All floors on the Henderson mar
ket have been completely cleared,
following Fridays sale, making room
for capacity sales, which are expect
ed Monday Every effort is being
made to sell the town out Monday,
making room for more gold leaf. All
warehouses in the city are now re-
serving space, and this newly adopt
ed system enables formers to place
their tobacco on floors the day be-
fore sales, and prevents WaitOvers
with accompanying damage and
dried out tobacco.
Higher prices are looked for on
Mondays break, Mr. Allen said, with
better offerings on the market.
The supervisor advised formers
to sell their better grades now, hold
ing off inferior tobacco until later,
for the demand, he said, is for bet
ter quality leaf.
On the whole, Mr. Allen continued,
farmers appear we'll pleased with
prices during the past week, with
few tags being turned. Prices are
lower than the same period last
year, but those interested take the
situation into consideration, and that
prices being paid now are compara-
lively good in the face of develop
ments in the tobacco belt.
