inatoa's $23.76 ranking highest

Second to Washington and top- !
ping the so-called "big new bi!ght
belt marts was Greenville, with a
$23.24 average, with Wil&on's
$23.23 next. Rocky Mount's $23.12
third for all sales and Kinstan
fourth, getting $22.60 for its av
erage, .
In 1935-36 the averages were
given as about $2 a hundred low
er than for 1936-37 in this belt.
In total 1936-37 offerings, Pitt
county's capital.was next to Wil
son. as it had 47.517.591 pounds
chalked up for its season; third
came Ktoston, with 40,351.114. and
below Ktoston ranked Rocky
Mount, with 39,905,905.
Meanwhile, to the old bright
belt, Winston-Salem this last year
managed to gain the number one
post insofar as total selling for
the year was concerned, getting
46,055,322 pounds. This was,
roughly, 13,000,000 more pounds
than its nearest competitor in
volume, Durham, which had 33,-
026,798. Oxford third, with 23,-
458,158 was followed closely^by

The leaf tobacco sold on State 1
markets this last season was only
79 per cent of the previous sea- 1
son's offerings, the warehouse
sales report released by the Fed
eral-State Crop Reporting service :
indicated.
Quoting from the services state- ;
ment, "The high average of $38.28
reported for the burley market at
Asheville reflects the situation ]
created by the short burley crops
produced last year in the Ken
tucky and Tennessee area, where
spring drought conditions did
considerable damage.
"The situation relative to flue- ,
cured tobacco has shown some im
provement over that of a year
ago. The increase to consumption
is mostly to flue-cured types. On
the other hand, the stocks of flue
cured tobacco on hand January 1.
1937, were reported at 971,859.-
000 pounds (an all-time high rec
ord). as compared with 964,122,-
000 pounds on hand January 1.
1936. The 1936 production of all
flue-cured tobacco was only 86
per cent of the 1935 crop, but it
was a 2 per cent increase over the
average crop to the five-year per
iod from 1928 to 1932."
