Mr.. John NJ. Taylor. OF E. J. Parrish
a. Co, who has just returned from trip
10 North Carolina, says: Il went 10
Durham, n. G., and to Danville. Va. /
went 10 Durham 10 attend the opening
of the Farmers Alliance.
"The Farmers Warehouse was crowd.
ed with tobacco and yet did not see 900
pounds Of wrappers OF all descriptions
on the floor and don't suppose the break
averaged six cents.
"The great impression In Durham is
that about oneJoVrM Of tho new crop has
been sold. IL WAS expected that on &C.
count of the occasion being the opening
sales OF the Farmers Alliance Ware
house that the break would be unusually
fine, the farmers bringing in their best
tObaccOs 10 make as good a display az
possible, but such was not the case, and
If what they have at home is not better
than that they marketed Tuesday, the
crop is indeed a Gerry poor one
"The breaks in Danyille, Va, yesterday
were cfry hency, the sales lasting nearly
all day, but as to quality, there was no
improvement on the Durham, n c.,
breaks
81 have not seen one houaad p3uHds OF
ntso sorapDcrs OF IN descriptions since !
left home and those ! saw were Gerry tn
terior IN quality, and prices ridiouloasiy
high
"Parishs warehouse, Durham, n. c.,
sold 100000 pounds of tobacco In the
month Of January at an average Of 1927,
but it is proper to state that a great pro-
portion of these tobaccOs were old. and
much of them old might toraPpeys, which
readily accounts for the big average"
The Louisville C0nrer-Joarnai, re-
csived to-day, says
whenever the Kentucky and Virginia
farmers become fully acquainted with
the law Of supply and de'aand they will
get good prices for their tobaccos," TO
which we will add, when Virginia
farmers make the character of tobaccos
that Jqgcrs want. and discontinue the At
tempt to foist upon them one sucker tobac-
co, and raise Just SO much tobacco as they
can work faithfully and make fine any
regulate the quantity they plant with due
of the law Of sappN and
demand, then and hen only will they
get satisfactory prices for the tobacco
they raise" G. Mel.
