:'-'( Bob Thompson,' Lumberton salea
supervisor, said the spirit of opti
mism had 'mounted , as surveys
showed that hail and water damage
was spotty rather than general, p
i rwhile "the weight "or the crop
may be a little less than last year,
? there is' every reason to believe that
f higher prices Witt Wore than offset
I that loss '.Thompson said. "In fact
we are predicting that 1961 will be
a better year dollar-wise, than the
fine season 'Of i960,'' ' -. , i
' Once again, the Lumberton mar
, ket will have 30 acres of floor
space for the auctioning of tobacco,
telling 6600- gaskets of tobacco
daily, six of the larger firms a
mong those operating on the Bor

Buying power will be at its peak
this year, Supervisor Thompson
said. Three sets of buyers will be
sent to the. market by vail the big
tobacco " manf acturlng companies
and by the larger buying firms
fronvall over e world.. - ,
v Person-Garrett 'Mullins Leaf To
bacco Company, I nterstate and
Chine American Tobacco Company
will join buyers from Reynolds, Ex
port American, Imperial and Lig
gett and Myers to provide the "str
ength which has been a factor in
the success of the market over the
years": Supervisor Thompson add-
s Furman K. Biggs, Pr. is presi
dent of 'the.' Lumberton Tobacco
Board of trade.'
"About the best and most impor
tant thing we can say as the open
ing nears is that our warehousemen
are ready,' the sales supervisor as
serted' in Connection with the Aug
ust 3rd date. "They have rounded
up an experienced staff. A' few
new faces will, be seen in the var
ious warehouses, but mostly they
are old hands at the business who
are replacements : for those, who,
for one reason 'or another, are not
returning, Old-Timers tell me that
the market is in the best shape for
receipts of tobacco that it has been
in jnany. years."
V The crop which will reach the
market this season will rank with
the best from the , standpoint of
quality. Very little of the heavy leaf
which went Into the hands of the
stabilization corporation in recent
years is in prospect.
