than usual, and it is expected tnt
by that time about all of the South
Carolina crop will be out Of first
hands, giving the big houses the
chance to transfer their buyers to
North Carolina.
The reports from Eastern Carolina
are to the effect that so far the
heavy rains have not materially dam
aged the leaf, and if they will now
hold up for a reasonable length OF
time the tobacco will cure up well
and fine crop will be gathered. All
of the Eastern Carolina marts have
made extensive preparations for
handling large crop this season,
many of the warehouses adding large
ly to their floor space and nearly all
of the dealers building larger prizer-
ties and storage houses.
The date for the opening Of the Old
Belt bright markets of Virginia and
North Carolina has not yet been set,
but Danville, South Boston, Chase
City and South Hill, in Virginia, and
Winston Salem, Reidsville, Durham,
Milton and Greensboro in North Car
olina will probably agree upon Sep
tember Is or thereabouts as the open
ing date.-Richmond Times-Dispatch.

TOBACCO SEASON OPENS
IN SOUTH CAROLINA
Prices Reported From Two to Eight
Dollars Higher Than Last
Opening.

The long vacation of the leaf to-
bacco dealers of Virginia and the Car
olinas is about at an end and the
deep-lunged leaf tobacco auctioneer
is again heard in the land, that is,
he was heard in all of the South Caro-
lima markets last week.
The Palmetto State always starts
the ball in motion and this season
the beginning was a little later than
usual. All of the markets there OPP
ened for the season Tuesday, July 20.
The offerings on all of the markets
were largely of the commoner grades
of the leaf, although here and there
some good leaf showed up. This is
usually the case. The leaf started off
in South Carolina higher than the
dealers had expected, the average be-
ing from 81 to So per hundred higher
than at the opening last year, being
81 to 81 higher on common goods and
SIS to So higher on the limited guam
titles of good to fine goods that
showed up.
The above were the figures for
Tuesday, the opening day, and there
was some weakening for the remain
der of the week. However, the mar
kets closed strong on Friday with
the averages well in advance Of those
of a year ago. On one of the larger
markets the average for the week
was $1s per hundred against an aver
age of $14 last year. The farmers
were highly pleased with prices.
The offerings showed rather large
proportion of what the dealers call
"wet dog" or soggy tobacco, but the
farmers always, as rule, market
their poorest leaf and worst condi-
toned at the first of the season.
The tobaccos offered last week were
taken mainly by the large companies,
the Export Tobacco Company and the
Imperial Tobacco Company being tbs
largest buyers. Warehousemen and
local rehandlers were also strong bid
ders, while the leaf dealers, prizers
and spectators seemed disposed to
hold off, evidently thinking tn high
prices had not come to stay.
The South Carolina farmers have
cut and cured less than Is per cent
of the crop so far and tie IS per
cent yet on the hill, still shows back,
wardness and the most of it is yet
quite green.

eide whether the will was obtained

was a nephew Of the millionaire. He
was beoueathed $250,000 under the
will with the stipulation that II he
