XXXVIV HO MARKET OPEN THE OLD AUCTION WAY *-J MORE THAN 2500 PEOPLE " ATTEND THE SALES. q Nearly Thirty Thousand Pounds Sold . at an Average of Twenty Five .w Dollar*. It sure did look good to til? business men of Roxboro yesterday, for the streets were full of farmers who >. .... l ad come to town to see how tobacco was going to start off, it being the opening day for the New Htyco, .the .only house here that will sell tobacco the old auction way this year. Many had declared it was too soon, that the p.'" farmers did not have tobacco ready for market and few expected thereto Ik, "be such a large amount on hand. Ear 1y Monday evening the wagons began w/fr to come in and by sale time yesterday morning the large floor of the New Hyco was more than half cov ered with the golden weed. The sales amounted to more tBan 26000 pounds bringing an svera'ge of Twenty Five Dollars, the highest pile bringing the handsome sum of Seventy One Dollars per hundred. We did not see a single tucked tag and the farmers all. seemed to be well pleased at the prices, especially considering it was the opening day, with quality always of the poorer kind. True, it was just about the best tobacco we ever saw offered on an ppening sale, and it was decidedly trt? best price for an opening sale. The-price was a little mbre than fifty per cent higher titan the opening sale last year, the price _for that * :*a8e being $16.20. * Ml of the big companies Are re represented and you can oaake the pre< ,iiction that when the sale# are over Rbxboro will still maintain her reI cord for making the highest svorage of any imA?t in, tiji* section, either 1^?in North Cs'r.T.nn Wjvinrtnmr F" '.
