TOBACCO BUYERS ARE OUT
. |
Growers Are Not Anxious to Sell |
Jus: at Present
Generally for some time before the |
holidays the toba¢co trade has been |
dull and little tobacco was sold, but |
this year has been an exception and
the trade in old goods has been un-|
usually good and more goods have|
changed hands than in any December
or years. And almost all of it has
gone into the hands of a trade that
we are assured will take it out of our
market, |
It is a long time since a sale of
1,600 cases has been made here, as|
it is reported a Lancaster packer has |
made to a manufacturer. It seems |
that the tobacco is of a quality that
they must Have. |
When we take into consideration |
that for the last two seasons only |
about one-fourth of the crops have]
gone into the hands of local dealers,
the balance having gone into the|
hands of the large concerns who use|
it in their business, it does not take
much calculation to figure out how,
soon all the old goods in this market
will be gone,
With
our county packers having
Feresd :
| their warehouses practically cleaned
out and a demand for our tobaeccos,
we see no reason for our growers to
feel gloomy over the outlook.
