Selling Tobacco -,

Charleston, Oct. 10-Vhe past week
witnessed the real beginning Of the
usual fall movement Of Carolina
tobacco through this port en- route
to European countries. Charles
ton for several years has been the

Pee Dee section OF this State and
in the lower part of North Caro-

been Delayed somewhat on account
Of the new system which is being
employed in the, South Carolina
markets for the first time this sea
son-the cooperative plan Of mar
keting. Under this form Of mar
keting the selling season in the
Pee Dee markets opened virtually
one month later than it did dur
ing the auction regime and. as a
result. the markets are still busy,
while at this time last year all
South Carolina markets had prac-
tically concluded their season.
Good rates have directed large
proportion of the Carolina crop en-
route to Europe through this port,
and substantial rail shipments are
arriving almost daily from the in
land markets and are being stored
pending loading aboard steamers
for shipment to England and Con-
tinenta1 points. The first large
shipment Of the season was car
ried by the steamship West Har-
shaw, of the Carolina line, which
sailed for England on Friday with
fifteen hundred hogsliead Of the
the value of this shipment being
placed at more than a million dol
