The opening was very favorable considering the very low prices reported from the border and eastern markets. The total sales amounted to fifty odd thousand rounds with an average of near ten cents or a little more than last years opening average. The Planters had first sale followed by the Union and the Bouthslde closed the day. The grade as a whole was poor, but quits a bit sold for around 20 cents with the prise going as high as' SI cents. The sing-song of the auctioneers seemed to inject new life and a new Inspiration in all present. Genie Bobbltt was the first to bring a load to the market this season, ar raring early in the afternoon Monday.

Among those selling on the Louis burg market Tuesday was Mr. L. A Bullock,, of near Stem, who expressed himself as well pleased with his salee It was interesting to hear him toll o a former experience here, this havtni been his former choice of market* upon which to sell his tobacco. Ai one time he told a load of tobacci here that brought over $500 and at that time tobacco was being paid for li silver money. He had so mncb hi didn't know what to do with It Hi finally decided to depoalt It in the lo cal bank. He returned the next da; with a bag In which to toke It homi and said he never heard so muct fuss as that silver made, It was rat tling all the Uma. The local ware housemen are expecting to make i regular visitor to Loulsburg of Mr Bullock. The opening was very pleasing t< both farmers and warehousemen, ii that It indicated advanced pricee, and etch day since has brought splendid sale averages.

The report coming from New Orleans head quarters of the American Cotton Cooperative Association shows' that the receipts of cotton cooperatives to talled approximately a quarter mil lion bales September 13 whfeb was nearly four times as much cotton as they pad received np to the same date last year. All states without excep tion showed a very large Increase ev er last year's deliveries up te UM same date although it was too early (or any state association to receive the full effect of the 90 per cent ad vance only two weeks before. The North Carolina Association was still maintaining its dhlMaiy of more than eleven times as much cotton as It received np to the same date last year at the close of business yester, day, said Vice-President and General Manager, U. B. Blalock, tonight. The Association had paid drafts tor first advance on considerably more than 11,000 bales tonight or a total of more than a halt million dollars. Only 1,000 bales had been received on the same date last year. When aaked what percentage ot the crop the North Carolina organisation would handle this year, Mr. Blalock remarked that, at the present rate of Increase, it looks as If 110 per cent of this year's crop might not be an unreasonable estimate. He explain ed that it la not so much of a joke after all when the large amount of old cotton of the 1929 crop which the Association is receiving is taken in to account Edward Purdue, prominent busi ness man and farmer of Dunn and also Director of the Cotton Growers Association, said in a letter to the Association September 18 that more than 50 per cent of the cotton com ing to Dunn, which is the largest wagon cotton market in the State, was being delivered to the Associa tion.
