'**' *' ' "!^ 'v.-' Though Thursday's sales figures had not been completed ; at this writing, the total through Wednes day's sales indicated (hat 'the market would barely miss the 14 million mark Thursday. ?' Through Wednesday .of this week Farmvilie had sold 18^709^902 pounds of tobacco for $8,245,840.09; an aver age of $28.60, one of 'the highest averages, if not the highest for the season in the entire belt. Farmvilie has been able to keep its average up with or above the larger markets :wj Eastern Carolina this season in sp&ffl of the fact that a few of them were I selling much better tobacco. Reports of higher sales on other markets only [indicated that that tobacco was su perior to the grade being offered for [sale in Farmville. Proof of this fact I was shown here Monday when an ex* ceptionally high gratfe sold for nine 1 ty-two cents per pound. With Farm I ville setting the pace in average with I poorer tobacco, imagine what it could do if .the best grades were of I fered for sale hue. The market has had a few brakes of really good to bacco, but those breaks are as few land far between as the well-known I hen's teeth. However, figures will prove that grade for grade no other I market sells higher than Farmville. I Gethting back to a few of these figures: Monday's sale of 77}.,350 pounds sold at an average of $29.53, boosted the poundage for the season above the fourteen million mark. Though I the sales were light on Tuesday and ? T- a I Thursday, 236,810 pounds ana ix*, 058 pounds, the average of $25.29 and $25.39 on these days pulled upf the season's average to its mark barely under $24.00. Through Friday of the eighth week last season, the week corresponding with this week, th market had Bold 16,908,578 pounds at an average slightly above that of this season. Those figures have an advantage of two day's sales over the report is sued for this week; Thursday and Friday not being included. It is generally thought that next week will be the end of heavy sales for the season, but many believe that Farmville wiirreach its goal, I * * REV. MR. WILSON HOLDS SERIES MEETINGS Rev. . H. M.
