glance and see his tobacco weighed.
All the larger concerns that handle
great quantities of tobacco are putting
in these scales. l have already con-
tracted with large and competent
force of book help to figure out your
scales correctly and promptly. 1t will
be my purpose this year to work for
an early opening Of warehouses. l
believe we will have large crop, and
IT nothing happens, a very early one.
l am getting inquiries from time to
time in regard to same. 1 hope to see
this the banner year for the Manning
tobacco market. With your co-opera-
tion, l am sure it will be. I want to
see us sell at least three and one-half
million pounds of tobacco this year.
You can bet on me doing my square
best to this end. Let's 90 our best to
grow good crop and get all the col
or we can. An early crop usually
means good ripe, colory one. I want
every man that grows tobacco in Clar-
endon county this year to make up his
mind to sell in Manning this year, and
thus protect his own home market.
You will find me on the job, if I am
living, ready to stand by your interest
to the last limit. / thank you most
heartily for your past patronage.
Here's hoping that will see all of you
from time to time at the Central
warehouse this year.

beyond the dreams of the most opti
mistic tobacconist have prevailed. Rap
ld selling-no lct-up in demand-cn
thuslastic bidding-have characterized
the crop movement. 1t is a settled
tact that the crop was not large one
! IN pounds, taking the worlds produc
ton into the estimate, and it is also
a TACT that the consumption is gerater
a fact that the consumption is greater
ever before.
And now while we are to some ex-
/ tent enjoying the fruits of a prosper
! Gus season, we can contemplate and
speculate as to the future. From all
we can gather, the crop next year will
not be an extra large one in acreage.
FARMERS are awake to the Importance
Oh producing all the foodstuffs they
can; and then labor is scarce. and
these facts, together with other con.
sideratlons, will check any tendency on
the. part of farmers to plant an abnor.
mai crop. With a demand that can
scarcely be supplied, with a rapid in
crease IN consumption, and in the face
OF what we ebelieve will be a decrease
IN the worlds production-we predict
that prices next season will, if any,
thing, exceed the prices of the crop
that has just been sold.
| And now while we are discussinr
these things in connection with the to-
bacco trade. let us not for a moment
forget the most important thing in all
the world today, and that is the great
worldwide war. Tobaccomen are pa-
ttriots, and they have been ever since
the weed was discovered in the streets
OF old jamestown. Tobaccomen are
gong to the front. Many of them have
peen killed. Tobaccomen are investing
profits IN Government securities, Red
Cross work, etc. They are giving TO-.
bacco to the boys. In fact, tobacco
men can be counted on to do their part
IN the great struggle that is now on

sales for the week have been very
small, amounting to less than one
one hundred thousand pounds, and con-
slStlng of very common stock. In an
other week the loose market closes
for the season.
1t is probable that the exporters
have good many orders on their
books which they hoped to fill from
the loose sales. Very few of these can
be filled from the stocks held by deal
ers, as their holdings of rcdried tobac-
cos are very limited, and the assort-
ment small: Judging from the prices
at which these are held with conf
dence of realizing, it appears that
farmers may expect as high average
prices next season as they realized
for the 1917 crop. The worlds supply
OF tobacco is equally as short as many
other commodities and it is certain
that the demand for cigarettes of Vir-
glnla and Carolina brig:ts is growing
with leaps and bounds.
