TOBACCO PRICE
OUTLOOK GOOD.

Webb, of Kinston, Say -

I > risk.
Kinr.ton, A tig. IJ. Tho too a •>
price outli" kin tit.- part ' f N'-r.ii
 arolina is tho best "in several
yours, possibly since tho period ,
ing tlu l war w her. prices wore run
ning away.'
This opinion came today from
F.rne.st V. Webb. local indopon.ii r.t.,
Webb is a "onsorvativo-progros- !
sivi l ." His word is law with thous
and* of growers, and his prediction
will carry weight.
"Tiio Kuropoan prospect is bright."
Webb declared. Ho has been abroad
I.lis year and sized up tho situation
f.»r himself. "Europe is emerging
from tho economic tangle that has
hold it shackled for a number of
yoars. It is using more tobacco. 1
believe tho manufacturers in tho
British Isles and or. tho continent
will buy large quantities of the
Eastern Carolina weed this fall.
They expect to pay well for it."
Webb has been acclaimed a "mar
ket saver" in times of depression.
Ln an interview this afternoon lie
.said the over-measure of caution
manifested by some buyers in this
bolt was not justitied. Influential
t >baeconist- have warned growers
that there is a chance for a slump
before tho opening of tin l markets
in the local belt.
"There are some buyers who
would like to see this crop soil for
eight cents a pound," ho declared.
"I would like to seoo it sol! for 2S
cents. I am going to see to it that
farmers in this immediate territory
got the value of their crop, if it is
humanly within my power." Webb
stands ready, ho indicated, to buy
heavily and force others in the mar
ket to "come across" in tho trading.
('rowers recall times in the past
when Webb and others like him
'"stepped in the breach" to send
prices soaring when sales wore go
ing badly. •
The situation in (leorgia since
tin 1 opening there early in tho month
has been an index to what should
be experienced in the Eastern Caro
lina bolt next month, ho asserted.
There is no way to construe it.
"Georgia has produced a tine crop
and an exceptionally good crop, !
am told.
"And Eastern Carolina has pro
duced a good crop also, a very good
crop. It should bring more than
last year's crop. I believe it will."
The tobacconist added that shabby
t ibacco will not bring more than
last year. "There is no great de
mand for it Manufacturers have
little use for it; consumers prefer
finality in tobacco as in everything
else, m d when the.' .-.it siblt to
have ihe g "d th 1 will i. it hive
