A review of the market for the i past two years shows that prices have been stcadity mounting- In 1924 Lum berton sold 2,009,520 pounds of tobac co for $321,527.20, an average of $16 per hundred. Last year, with consid erable more floor space and double i sales for the first time in its history, ! the market sold the most tobacco ever ! sold here in one season. The total for ! that year was 4,336,399 pounds for , $705,532.09, an average of $16.27. { It is therefore seen that the mar ket sold a few thousand pounds more out of a big crop last year than out j of a light one this time. The price, ! however, this year was far above that j of a year ago. This season's average was an advance of 37 per cent over ithat of 1925 and of 40 per cent over that of 1924 Double sales were in force on the I.umberton market until the past .week, and they have helped to take ! care of what might have been an overftooded market had they not been employed. Not a single load of tobac } co has had to be carried back home or to some other market this year be I cause it could not be handled by one of the four warehouses here. Farmers are thoroughly pleased with the season, and present indica ting, are that a,.pipfh larger acreage of tobacco will be planted another .'year. ..
