SITUATION RELIEVED-TOBACCO
ADVANCING

The tobacco situation is relieved,
the rush Is over and the breaks are
of medium size. The buyers here
after will not have tobacco shipped
here from distance as long as there
is a congestion of local tobacco and
this of course means that the weed
will be handled better on this mar
ket than heretofore recently. The
average on the breaks today was
around S3 cents, the improvement
being more largely noticeable in the
poorer grades.
The warehousemen of Eastern
North Carolina met here last night
and formed temporary organiza-
tion for Eastern North Carolina.
They will meet here on Saturday,
October the 5th and make permanent
this organization when more of the
warehouse men of the east are ex-
pected. This organization will en-
deavor to take care of emergencies
and situations such as have arisen
during the past few days.
