Martin County, North Carotina, Tuesday, January 14,1930 478 CARS IN LAST 6 MONTHS OF 1929; 737 CARS IN 1928 • Is Index As To Why Money Is So Scarce in This Section PRICES MUCH* LOWER ■ ♦ " Tobacco Shipment! Dropped Prom 354 Car* in 1928 to 231 in 1929; Cotton Shipment* Off About 50 Per Cent Four hundred and seventy-eight sol id carloads of farm produce were ship ped from this point to various places in the United States and China during the last six months of 1929 as com pared with 737 carloads of similar prod uce billed out during the last six months of 1928. TW decrease, 259 carloads less than the shipments in the 1928 period, coupled with lower prices, accounts for this section's plight. There are certain factors to be con sidered however, but in those cases the price is so low that the situation re mains practically unaltered. Peanut deliveries are understood to be behind those of last year, but when the crop is sold in its entirety, a decrease will be in order, it is believed. There were a few shipments of farm produce made in the first six months of the year, but they were very few. In the last six months of 1928, there were 134 cars of peanuts shipped from here, as compared with 87 during the last six months of 1929. Tobacco ship ments dropped from 354 in the six months period of 1928 to 231 in the cor responding period of 1929. There was over a 50 per cent decrease in cotton shipments, the last period falling be hind 68 carloads. Manufactured lumber showed a sub stantial increase during the last period, shippers billing out 61 cars as against 40 during the 1928 period. In addition to the shipments men tioned, there were many thousands of feef of timber loaded here for mills irt other states. As these shipments' are individual in their nature, they"*are not included. -While a few shipments Were made direct by truck and are not included here, the majority of outgoing prod uce was handled byjhe Atlantic-Coast Line and the Norfolk, Baltimore and Carolina Boat Line.
