Soup Injects Enthusiasm.
Although the 'downpour of rain on
Tuesday and several days previous
caused the opening tobacao sale on
the Loulsburg market to be small, the
prides brought much encouragement
to farmers and warehousemen alike.'
About thirty thousand pounds of the
golden weed was sold at an average
of around 13 cents or an average of
around a cent a pound above the
opening sale average of 1928. The
prices are still low, but are so mudh
better than was expected that gen
eral satisfaction prevailed at all
houses. The prices seemed to range
mostly from 8 to 22 cents a pound.
The first sale was had at the Plant
ers Warehouse wh|ere the notes from
Auctioneer Woltz crying out the bids
?brought a realization of the return of
the fall season, when growers and
business alike would begin new ac
tivities.
The Second Sale was at the South
side where the famlllrr voice of auc
tioneer Burton, sang out the bids on
tobacco with as much fervor as he
used to bids on land, when a brass
bund was around.
The Union had last Sale but added
to the interest when, the many piles
that were sold were inspected by
those eager to see "how it was sell
ing."
Quite a large crowd was present
to witness these sales among whom
vere many old time tobacco farmers
who expressed the opinion that the
prices this year were fully as high
or higher than last year, and were
-Roused with the start off.
A full corps of buyers were pres
ent at the start and bid lively on this
piles as they proceeded over the
floors. Among them are Charlie Lee,
for the American, W. B. Ingram for
the Imperial, John Tarwater for the
R. J. Reynolds Co., C. M. Howard for

In addition there were Several Inde
pendent buyers.
The prices Wednesday showed a
slight advance oMar Tuesday and the
indications thus far speak a big and
successful tear for Loulsburg market.
Many fanners are taking the posi
tion that Loulsburg Is leading.
