The tobacco market opened Bere yesterday and while there
had been no great hurrah made about the opening there was a big
crowd of farmers in town, all anxious to se how the market was go
ing to open. They had been hearjj&of the good prices which the
weed was bringing n Eastern Carolina, but still they Were afraid
that something might happen to n$ke such prices here unobtainable.
But to all, such fears were quickly dismissed for the very first pile
sold bro.ught satisfactory pricesT and so on through the day, for there
were sales at all the warehouses.
While all the houses had 15 bgre wasno heavy sales at any of
them, but a larger quantity than usual on the first days sales- here.
The quantity was f atff or first offering, but no fancy grades were of
fered, still the price soared away up, the entire average for the days
sales at all of the houses was $19.33, From this fact it would seem
that the Roxboro tobacco market is still doomed to be the highest
average market in the State, an honor she has maintained for the
past several years.
There was nothing exciting about the sales, every pound
was sold on its merit, and there seemed a determination by all of the
buyers to hve tobacco. In fact hey seemed anxious for it. It was
indeed good to see such fine feeling existing between the farmer, the
buyer and the warehousemen, alljdetermined that there should be no
cry raised that the buyers did not want the tobacco, or the farmers
claiming that prices were higher elsewhere. With such feeling the
market is sure to seil the largest pbrtlcn of this crop within reach of
the market.
