TOBACCO MARKET IS
OPEN Fer SEASON
SALES BREAK RECORDS IN SEW.
ERAL TOWNS IN THE
STATE.
RECEIVE VERY GOOD PRICES
Growers Are Well Pleased with Rc-
turns.-Yfelds Are Promising In
Most Sections.

Columbia.-Last week many OF the
tobacco markets were opened In the
sections OF the state in which the
weed" Is grown commercially and
without exception the prices received
by the growers seem to have been
satisfactory. A number Of the towns
report that the opening business has
been above the average, with most
OF the big tobacco concerns Of the
country represented by buyers, all ap.
parently eager to secure as big amount
Of the offerings as possible The
prices tho growers were able to secure
for their product this year were con
siderably ahead Of the prices Of the
last few years. The average price
seems to have been in excess Of 15c
r.er pound. The lowest average price
paid for tobacco in the last eight
years was for the 1909 crop which sold
for S.35 cents, while the highest aver
age price secured in those years was
for the 1916 crop, which brought 14.11
cents per pound. The best OF the crop
is not ready for market for some time
subsequent to the first days sales, sc
the prices paid were generally for an
inferior quality. 1t Is thought that
the average for the season will be con
siderably moro than Is cents.
