Friday, August 28, 1936. High Prices Continue on Lumberton Market Over Two Million Pounds Sold on Market There Last Week at Average of $24.08 Tobacco poured into Lumberton all last week in record breaking volume, and as a result, this mark^< has shat tered all early season records, but it has assumed leadership among the big border belt markets of North Car olina. A comparison of official figures show that when sales ended last week, Lumberton had sold [more pounds, paid out more money and had the highest avemge of all North Caro lina’s big border belt markets. The daily average has climbed steadily on the Lumberton market. As a result, the market average is near 1934 fig ures. During the past week Lumber ton sold 2,755,030 pounds of tobacco for $663,340.35, or an average price of $24.08 per hundred. Daily averages went above the $25.00 mark in in stances, and individual warehouses having better quality tobacco on their floors, reported official averages near $27.00 per hundred. A computa'tion of official figures shows that Lumber- ton’s sales for the season are 3,909,- 438 pounds. This is 931,378 pounds more than was sold during the same period last season, and 1,514,596 pounds more than was sold in 1934. This comparison exemplifies the truth in the old adage, ‘‘The Proof Of The Pudding Is In The Eating". In other words, higher prices and courteous service have brought more and more tobacco growers to Lumberton each year until it looks as if this year will ■be the greatest in the history of the market. The fact that the crop this season is from thirty to forty per cent short of the 1935 crop, empha sizes this phenominal growth, and causes one to believe that this mar ket’s slogan, Lumberton Pays High er Prices” is well chosen. Sales during the first part of this week have been typical of past sales days this season. Between six and seven hundred thousand pounds fac ed the buyers Monday: a gratifying break ’Tuesday, and while no official figures are available as this paper goes to press, the market is reported stronger than it has been this year, and the highest averages since open ing day will probably be reported.
