A fine feeling exists on the Wilson
tobacco market which opened today
in full blast. The farmers seem to be
generally satisfied, and the trade il
looking for better prices as the sea-
son advances. The crop in the old belt
is very poor on account of the Con-
1inued drought. and the buyers be-
lieve shat when the trade under
stands there is comparatively little
good tobacco in the old belt, that
prices for the better grades will
greatly improve.
The farmers are advised to sell
their poor grades, and hold their
good tobacco for better prices, and to
market all tobaccos slowly. The mar
ket sold around 100000 pounds to-
day, and the sales were not blocked.
II is estimated the average on the
Wilson market today is from Is to
twenty cents per pound. The grades
from fifteen cents up are bringing
good prices, and those from fifteen
cents down are bringing a compar-
atively low price.
The green export leaf or a low
grade of lug is bringing around $4.00.
$3.50. The next best lug is. bringing
1915. The good export leaf is bring
ing from s4100 up
Prices of all good grades are better
than last year, the common grades
are bringing about the same price.
The average of the tobacco sold to-
day does not represent the average OF
the crop. The majority of the to-
bacco sold today are first primings.
From the basis of prices today it is
believed the market should average
S25g00 provided the farmers handle
their crop carefully and do not rush
it to market
The largest crowd ever assembled
was in attendance today. People came
in every conceivable conveyance. 1t
is estimated there were more than
a thousand automobiles here The
"oAiOOl f1SiIO1S 10 SSIIHdISO dt w.
OOO..
Practically all the buying is being
done by the big companies eompos-
ed of Messrs. Liggett and Myers, The
Imperial, r. J. Reynolds, and R. P
Watson, The Independents are buying
little.
The tobacco shows a good body
and is what the trade calls dry ma
tured,' showing very little of the
soggy and wet dog" types.
An estimate regarding the old bel
is that the crop in that section vii
yield less than hall of last year.

early spring, when it was thought
that few canning houses would pack
tomatoes this year, thought they
would better contract for ten dollars a
ton and grow smaller acreage. The
long dry period during June, however,
caused most of the young plants to
die. Farmers who found new plants
hard to get decided to set other crops
and thus the acreage was reduced. 1t
is now about one-tenth of the usual
acreage While the tomato plants
survived have made large growth in
spite of the dry season and very few
green tomatoes and blossoms are To
be found. That is why Gamers who
sold packs in advance are anxious 20
secure supplies. Some farmers have
turned their attention to growing the
little yellow preserving tomatoes
which seem to have stood the drought
better than the larger red tomatoes.
1t is expected that the yellow toma-
toes will be bought for preserving
purposes to take the place of fruit
that rs scarce.
