fore closing, which was $36.2i. First,
second and third quality leaf Of
good color sold well above the peg
price. but heavy offerings of fair
and low quality leaf continue to pull
the average down
The abundance Of leaf Of the
lower qualities has resulted from
the difficulties encountered during
the growing season. Considerable
quantity Of the tobacco was graded
in nondescript or no grade classes
