In December, there were leaf tobacco sales only three days this week, the market closing on the tenth to open again. The sales amounted to 314,200 pounds, an increase of 1,731,000 over the same period last year. In the closing week, the market was more active than at any time this season, and prices for all trades were higher. Indications point to prices recovery after the holidays, and, with good seasons, for handling tobacco, receipts will be large. The closing quotations this week were: lugs, $1.50 to $1.50 per 100; dairies, $1.50 to $1.50; lons leaf, to $1.50; lons leaf, to $1.50; apples, to $1.50; wrappers, $1.50 to $2.50. The market in closing for the holidays wound up the most satisfactory half-year known for the past years. Today, the market in the tobacco market was strong, with prices recovering from the start.
