for the poor grade ground leaves to
Sd cents for the best grade offered

average for the days sale was around
20 cents the pound, which compares
fa9orably with the prices at the open

blocked throughout the day.

WILL BREAK UP MONOPOLY

Washington, July 19-Monopoly of
shipping held by few Atlantic sea-
ports is to be broken up by the ship
ping board and the shipping business
distributed among the various ports
of the country, Chairman Benson de-
clared tonight in an address at the
opening session Of the School of Pan
American and Foreign Commerce.
"ln planning steamship service un-
der the new Transportation Act the
board proposes to break up the mo-
nopoly heretofore held by few At
lantic seapOrts," said Chairman Ben
son. Services will be maintained at
American ports with view to relicv-
ing congestion of railroads and bring
goods to the seaports nearest the point
of consumption. Monopoly Of shipping
heretofore held by large scaports has
rctcardcd the development of The mer-
chant marine. The bad facilities for
the loading and discharging of YES
sells and the spirit Of Indifference of
many commercial interests have done
much to curb proper growth Of the
shipping in this country"

HELP THE TOBACCO MARK EFT

First by leaving your money in your
local Bank. There is little help to be
had from the North on account Of the
money stringcncy, so the local banks
and local farmers must hold up the
markets. If you do not leave Money
in Banks, Market is sure to fall ser
iously.
Second, do not rush tobaccos on the
market. Cure your tobaccos bright
and bulk down till they bleach. Only
bright tobaccos will sell good.
Third, If prices fall below reason,
withhold your tobacco from the mar
ket.
Fourth, join the South Carolina To-
bacco Association and do your part to
keep up the prices.
