Ooncuding the two days of fun and frolic, intermingled with edu cational displays and ' talks, , the coronation. ball was held tn the Watson warehouse. Wilson did- itself proud putting on such a splendid prspram for the people of this state, and every one in attendance thoroughly en joyed the splendid events that tool place during this period, and a hospitable atmosphere that pre vailed at ell times. . . U4;v;rd Trend in Price cf Tobacco On Market Noted r LUMBSBTON, H. C August 23 last Friday saw the Lumberton warehousemen bring to an end the second week of the 1937 market ing season with two new records established for the market The market's all-time high mark for pounds sold in one week-was shat tered; and mare dollars went into the pockets of the tobtcco growers than has ever been naid out dur ing any previous marketing week. It was truly record week, for Lumberton; and to ada to Uus market's glory, it can be said that another record was made. It is a record that local tobacconists are more proud of than the two men tioned above. This ' record Store satisfied tobacco ' growers left lumberton headed homeward than ever before duringa similar period is based on the fact that there wasnU a known instance -' of a grower's taking in his tobacco, re moving it to another market. ' . After opening high on the 10th, prices were firm for several days' when there was a general npwSrd trend in prices.' This marxet's wide advance was shared by ev ery type of tobacco; common, me dium and the better grades; and it sent prices on many grides far above those being paid last year, The higher prices being paid on the Lumberton market are reflect ed in the gains this market is making over 1834 1935, and 19' 36. Lumberton advertises th'lt "t growing market is a high mark et." How the Lumberton market has grown is shown by a oompari- soa of sales since the reat nnt anted. ... ' ;u Daring the first two weeks of 1934, the Lumberton market told 2,394,834 pounds; the first two sreeks of 1935 saw the mtrket sell i 2,978,060 pounds; in 1936, higher prices for tobacco were responsible for another increase the market selling 8,909,438 pounds in the same period of time. This year a new all-time record was set when 1,658,838 pounds were disposed of in che first two sellina weeks of the year j Such growth is good evidence of the splendid service offered by I the Lumbertsti warehousemen and ; the highei.ajicet they ntv for to-1 nacoo. Today, the market seems to be headed into another week that, while last week's record mark mas not be reached, will add at least 2, 600,000 pounds more to ns poundage figures. Beports from the warehouse floors state that prices are firm and stabilia- ca; ana seemingly, on tne up ward trend again. Those who are ' ; (Intended for Last Week) -. . , Mrs. Emma Fate and daugh ters Miss Christine Bate, DeLoris and Beverly Brock spent last Fri day in Dunn where DeLoris was joint honoree with her aunt, Mrs. I, L.
