have 20 minutes after a final bid is made upon any lots of
tobacco offered for sale by the owner, in which to accept or
reject the final bid. If a bid is not rejected within this time
limit, the sale is final.

(b)  Every buyer on the warehouse floor shall accept the
tobacco at the auction price at which sold to him, and may reject
the tobacco only under terms and conditions established by the

designated and who is directly in charge of sales, from
purchasing any tobacco for the account of the commission selling
agency.

[(d) If any commission selling agency purchases for its own
account any tobacco lawfully consigned to it, the tobacco shall
be reoffered for sale on the same sales floor at public auction
during the current marketing season, if the market is open at the
time.]
