Farmers thrilled to the chant of the tobacco auct ioneer as the money started rolling. First load of tobacco sold on the Dunn Market was brought in by I. B. Raynor of Benson, and | brought him and his tenant 70 cents per pound, well above the grade figure, at Buck Currin’s New Big-4 Warehouse. Prices generally ran well out in front of the graders estimates and the sellers were accordingly happy about the amount of long green they would collect from the front office. “That first million pounds is the hardest,” said one tired and perspiration soaked warehouseman, “but we are sure well on our way to that first million now.” Figures on the total for the opening had not been tabulated at press time but the volume was lighter than usual on an opening day. Observers credited the late ness of the crop and the rain yes terday with the light offerings. Hfcwever. a steamy stream of leaf, is' comihg in now and tomorrow's sales should be lieavier. FARMERS HAPPY Record reporters, talking with farmers who had made, sales today, found them in almost unanimous agreement on their satisfaction with the prices they received. One who was disappointed, ex plained however, “We worked that tobacco in the dark in order to get in on the first day. I might have got a little better price if 1 had been able to give it more time.” However, he admitted that the price was good based on the "looks” of the baskets. The second sale was to be held this afternoon at the Growers Warehouse and will probably not be concluded until late this after noon. but if prices, as they should, run as good as the opening sale, the opening day average should prove inspiring to farmers in the area. Warehouseman Dick Owen re ported an unusually heavy sale to day and opening prices were re ported good. Both Currin and Owen were well pleased with the first day’s sales. They attributed the volume to the fact that most tobacco is still in the fields. The amount sold today was exceptionally good in comparison with other markets. First sale Friday will be at Owen’s Growers Warehouse and the second sale will be at Currin's Old Big 4 Warehouse.
