Monday's Average Re
veals $18.85 Paid Per
Cwt; Rash Reported
As Passed with Space
Available Any Day
An average price of $18.85 per
pound was paid on the Farmville
market Monday, as 838,862 pounds
of the golden weed were sold for a
total of $158,101.78. This average
was paid despite the fact a large
amount of the offerings was of low
and medium quality.
Wednesday's sales brought the
season's offerings to 25,342,310 lbs.
which was sold for $4,050,590.40 at
an average of $15.99. These figures
include- the 9*740,9*6- pounds- sold
prior to the marketing holiday for
an average of $14.32 a pound.
While the rush is over, and sales
during the middle of the week be
coming lighter, the competition on
the market each day is just as keen
and prices just as strong as at any
time so far this season.
Farmers will not experience any
trouble from this time on in getting
space on the market any day, but it
is advisable to bring your tobacco to
market before the weather becomes
too cold to handle to an advantage.
After this week farmers will be able
to sell their tobacco the day it is
brought to market.
The records so far show that
Farmville is "Your Best Tobacco
Market", so bring the remainder of
yoor tobacco to this market where
you will know that the warehouse
men wilt give it that careful atten
tion that is so necessary in order to
get the top price.
Ark Royal Takes
Nazi Ship Prize
London, Nov. 9.?First Lord of the
Admiralty Winston Churchill told the
House of Commons today that the
aircraft carrier Ark Royal,- which
Germany repeatedly claimed to have
sunk, baa captured a valuable Nazi
ship.
He referred to the captured ship
as a most valuable recent prize, in
dicating it was a merchant ship.
Churchill estimated that Germany
has lost between two and four* sub
marines every week since the war be
gan.
"What I told the house with much
reserve -six weeks ago," he sail, "I
can now repeat with- much more as
surance?namely, that we are gain
ing definite mastery over U-boat at
tacks."
He estimated Germany is complet
ing two new U-boats each w*ek?
"at a rate our expectation is that we
must face tire, prospect of 169 U
boats- being available - by January,
less-whatever sinkings occur in the
interval."
