Folks were hard pressed to
recall when last it was neces-
sary to hold the third sale after
lunch and a late one at
that as had to be done three
straight days this week. 1t was
long time ago.
High on the list Of pleasan-
tries also is the S. to $40 above
peg prices that exists on auc-
tons of Tugs and common
grades Of leaf. Likewise, the
strong market for the medium
grades which are selling from So
to S. above pegs.
Only Fair Crop
A disappointment is the reali-
cation that the 1861 crop is only
fair. quality-Wise. Grower after
grower admits that his tobacco
now shows the effect of the
weather troubles at plant bed
time and the excess rain in late
summer.
A good half of the baskets are
graded in mixed color or
green, and that means a little
less peg support than holds for
baskets with uniform color. A
considerable portion Of the Of
ferings also show the damage
that was done by the rain
droWningS Of late summer.
The general consensus Of opin-
ion is that the 1861 crop is
light bodied. or on the thin side,
lacks leaf width and runs to the
IF" or medium brown color.
The other major disappoint-
ment is lack of the demand for
top grades Of tobacco, particu-
larly the thin and wrapped type
leaf. This is offset by the high
prices for the common tobacco,
and so the first weeks general
average is expected to round
out at approximately $40 a hun
dredweight, and that is a good
average achieved only rarely for
a weeks auctions of dark taboo
co.
81 Top Price
The market top here for the
week was $61 paid for choice
quality medium brown heavy
leaf. the BIZ grade.
Tuesdays opening day auc-
tons totalled 3O2 900 pounds,
making it one of the busiest Of
recent years. Growers earned
approximately $4,000 with the
general average just above $40.
Wednesdays auctions were
slightly lighter at about PCS 1000
pounds and $40 averag
Thursday, warehouse floors
were again crowded as farmers
showed they had made good use
of the best season in years in
preparation for marketing.
Growers generally were well
satisfied with prices considering
the overall lack of quality in the
1861 crop. and the results Of
harvesting over a long period Of
time some Of that in eX-
