Davis Sons, Publishers Wendell Tobacco Sales Increase After Slow Start Wendell tobacco markets opened last Thursday to the sound of high predictions for a successful season locally, and ended dismally with reports of disappointing sales. Average prices on opening day for the big crop of to bacco, which had given indications of being one of the best in recent years in North Carolina, were $46 to SSO in the individual markets. It was reported that many farm ers, discouraged with the bids v'hich their tobacco received, re jected the bids and returned home with thnir tobacco unsold. Explanation for the dispairing results of the opening day opera tions came partially in the fact that nearly 47 per cent of the gross sales on Thursday went to the Stabilization Corporation under the government loan program. A report whith was released Friday by the Federal-State Mar ket News Service said that 14,297,- 168 pounds were hold on the open ing day of operations in the East ern North Carolina flue-cured to bacco belt for an average of $47.88 per hundred. This marked a de cline of $5.47 from last year’s opening day when only three and one-half million pounds were sold in the belt. Average prices gained slightly during the weekend as compared with prives recorded on Thurs day. It was reported that gains were mostly $1 to $3 per hundred. One of thg main tobacco companies which was not represented at opening day sales, was buying Fri day. Slow Bidding Some of the companies which were present at the initial day of sales did no bidding at all. The majority of the warehouses re ported that basket after basket went under loan as the day pro gressed. Assurance came from the offi cials of the Stabilization Corpora tion that their organization would support tobacco prices throughout the remainder of the current sea son. They advised, however, against tobacco farmers rushing their product to market too soon, in order that the quality of the leaf will not be demolished. The corporation advised that farmers approach the market in an orderly fashion so that the to bacco held as collateral on Com modity Credit Corporation loans can be adequately protected. L. R. Clark, Jr. said yesterday that Wendell tobacco sales had “picked up good” since the disap pointing opening on the market. “We were just as bad as every one else all over the belt,” Mr. Clark said, speaking about the opening day operations. “But things are very much be ter now,” Mr. Clark said. “Things have settled down quite a bit now, sales are a lot better, and every one seems to be very satisfied.” MASONIC NOTICE There will be an Emer gent Communication of the White Stone Masonic Lodge Number 155, AF &AM, Tuesday evening at 7:30 p.m. for work in the Fellow Craft Degree.
