Our tobacco men stepped around rather briskly Friday as the far mers rolled In at rather a lively rate with new tobacco, and all the warehouses had fairly good breaks. The Farmers Warehouse took the lead in pounds, and one farmer av eraged $22.34 around net for his load on the floor. There was much interest manifest ed as to prices by the farmers, owing to the fact that Oxford always takes the lead as to high averages, and the buyers make It a point to maintain a steady, reliable market, which they deem is best for the farmers. . Some better grades of tobacco were offered Friday, and some wrappers sold for $39 per hundred, while common to bacco hovers at about half the price paid last year. Th6 Independent buyers seem to be in the lead as the American Tobacco Co. Is buying very sparingly so far. It is not intimated when they will fully enter the field for the purchase of the weed. The concensus of opin ion among tobacco men is that com mon grades will not sell much higher than at present, while fine wrappers will probably sell higher than last year, so our farmer friends can gov ern themselves accordingly. It is a well settled fact that the warehousemen In Oxford cannot be excelled In their efforts to reach the high dollar on all grades of tobacco, and our splendid corps of buyers are always ready and willing to go their limit on each pile of tobacco This being so our farmers certainly can not do better than to sell their to bacco in Oxford when they get ready to market their crop.
