BIGGEST WEEK in HISTORY of the That William*ton is now recognized as the best marketing center in the Carolines was proved beyond all doubt last week when over one million pounds of tobacco were sold on its warehouse floors. If the market had had Ave sets of buyers and ample floor space to accommodate its patrons, sales would have passed the five-million pound mark, basing the estimate on what one set of buyers and an able selling organization did during the week. And the record continues. Whole Barns Tobacco Are Being Sold for $52 a lOO lbs. .arge Piles Bought by Company Buyers Are Up to $85 a Hundred Pounds Money paid out the first 18 selling days this season is more than was paid out the whole of last season, jclearly indicating that prices are higher and that the farmers are getting higher prices on the Williamston To bacco Market. The tobacco farmers of this section, and for miles around are turning to Williamston as never before, for they are convinced that it is one of the best markets in North Carolina. Intelligent people know that a one-day's average at any house, or any market?Williamston or any where else?means but little. If the percentage of good tobacco on the sale is greater than that of the lower grades, it pulls up the average for the whole day, although the grade prices may be lower or vice versa. But, DAY IN AND DAY OUT THIS ENTIRE SEASON, THERE HAS BEEN NO MARKET, ANWHERE, ON ANY GRADES?HIGH OR LOW?BETTER THAN WILLIAMSTON. AND BUT FEW AS GOOD. More attention is paid by the buyers in Williamston to the tobacco being sold than on anymarket, any where, and no better buyers and warehousemen exist. They just haven't made 'em.
