LION S. LOJJJSBURG MARKET Making to averages MONDAY BROUGHT BLOCK SALES AND - SATISFACTION Saoker finlti <?H>% High?BcSy Averages Put Week lugtaf Frem l&tt to Jf-M?Tebaeeo Pram Long Distances Being Sold la UdMui great ? cle* jreadk Prices of tobacco on the Loulsburg market bare been holding up especial ly good the past week and instead of weakening under the influence of the big sales hare showed a tendency to Increase. Monday climaxed a ' week of big sales when near on to a quarter mil lion pounds were offered resulting in a blocked sale. The floors of the Union and Southslde warehouses were cleared but only about a third of the floor of the Planters was sold. Bven with these sales the price average as reported by tobacco men remained about the 17 cent mark with many individual averages running any where from 2g to 36 cents a pound, and the planters generally voicing the satisfaction that most always fel lows sales beyond expectations. No sale day, we are Informed, dur ing the past week has fallen under an average of 18.48 with a high of 17.88. The companies all seem especially anxious for the smoker grades and these are considered to be selling at a premium as compared with the i tbe market started. The heavier1 body tobaccos, Including the redlor greenish grades are not selling jas well as is desired or as expec they will later on in the season, iret many of these are bringing fafrly good prices. This type of tobacco* we are informed, is now undergoing ec advance in price, each day shew ing It to' be stronger. It is especially gratifying to leuls buTg to know that the local market is being apprecintad'ln so wide a ter ritory and that so many are vtsitfeg tbe city on the Tar from so gram aj distance. This appreciation is shared by Louisburg's wide-*' merchants who are offering prices on dependable articles, their advertisements In this AMERICAN LEGION 3 AUXILIARY MEETING The American Legion < Auxiliary held its regular monthly meeting with Mrs. H.
