PRICES STILL HIGH.
Raleigh Tobacco Market is
no Quarter Horse.
There We're About $4,000 Pounds on Breaks
at the Two Houses Yesterday. Aver
age Vas Over IL 10.

Another big sale on the tobacco market
yesterday delighted both the farmers
and the merchants of the city. The sale
in number Of pounds was nearly equal TO
that of the opening day on August 1st.
The quality of the tobacco was much
better, and the prices We're splendid,
ranging from 50 to s26. 50 per hundred at
the Farmers Warehouse, and s. to 24.50
at the Capital City.
There were about 50, 600 pounds in the
break altogether, and the average price
brought was something like s12.5O, or
possibly a little over. These figures are
estimated.
The counties of Harnett, Johnston,
Franklin, urham and Wake We're all
represented by leading farmers, who
were very We'll pleased with the prices
they received.
The sale aroused a great deal Of inter-
est and enthusiasm, there being many
business men present besides the ware
housomen and farmers. 1t was feared at
first tha the splendid prices of the open
ing break would not be maintained, but
The fordest hopes in this direction have
been realized. Tn prices nave steadily
increased as the quality of the tobacco
has improved, until now the Raleigh
market stands for fine prices.
Merchants in various lines of business
say they have very materially felt the
difference in their receipts since the mar
ket was established here. The hustling
Warehousemen, who have been person
ally visiting the farmers and soliciting
their business, are doing lots of good for
Raleigh as we'll as themselves.
