1. This Order may be cited as Price Order No. 890, and shall

   "Air-dried leaf" means leaf other than flue-cured leaf.

APPLICATION OF THIS ORDER

3. This Order applies with respect to all raw-leaf tobacco grown
   in New Zealand during the 1947-48 season: Provided that the
   Tribunal may, in any case where it considers it proper so to do and
   subject to such conditions (if any) as it thinks fit, exempt any such
   tobacco from the operation of this Order.

FIXING AVERAGE PRICES OF RAW-LEAF TOBACCO TO WHICH THIS
ORDER APPLIES

4. (1) The average price to be paid by any tobacco-manufacturer

   (b) For air-dried leaf 2s. 2½d. per pound.

(2) For the purposes of this clause the weight of any raw-leaf
tobacco shall be deemed to be its weight at the time and place of
delivery by the grower to the manufacturer or to his agent in the
district in which it is grown: Provided, however, that in any case
where the grower and the manufacturer or his agent agree that the
moisture-content of the leaf in any lot of tobacco is excessive, then
for the purpose of calculating the value of the lot the weight of the
lot shall be deemed to be reduced by a reasonable amount to make
allowance for the excessive moisture.

5. This Order shall be read subject to the provisions of the
   Board of Trade (Raw Tobacco Price) Regulations 1943.*
