'era and a, third tonight ; among ;. - themselves. - i ' .' , , - ' Seasonal Hope : : ,The spirit of hope was-due chief ly to an apparent general senti ment that the slight upturn in : - prices noted this week will likely A continue. It was pointed out that prices-after October' 1 have been . in the past 23.5 per cent above priced prior to that date.- That ' would mean this year an average ii of about 21.5. cents from now on and an average for the, season of between. 20- and 21 cents..' .

Buyers Aloof , ;':'.''?V: . ' All were somewhat surprised at the attitude of the buyers, who'ex i pressed a desire to cooperate but who. declined to makei&ny specific suggestions whatever. - The buyers' group, which was headed by S. Clay Williams, of the , R. J. Reyholds Tobacco Coniny, who came back from vacation .to attend the meeting, took a decid edly aloof position.- ' ' , Mr. Williams asserted that the fixing of policies is solely a matter between the growers and the. gov ernment and refused to answer "a shower of questions as to . various proposals on the grounds that they involved matters concerning which it was not proper for him to ex press an opinion; - ' - In answer to questions by Sena torBailey, . Governor Ehrlnghaus and 'Representatives Harold D. Cooley and Frank Hancock, he did say that he regarded continuance of the. processing tax and the in ferior quality of the crop as the! principal reasons for pie present prices. He also : said specifically thai! h6 did not regard alleged ov erproduction as a factor. 4 Exchanges at the meetings were far , less acrimonious than ' they have .been on numerous r other si- milar occasions in the past Governor Ehrlnghaus was con-1 made a big success and 200 guests dilatory in his questions to Mr. were entertained at Mr. O.
