SOUTHEAST'S
TRADE STILL
ON UPTREND
Already Is Pegged at the
Highest Levels Since
Depression

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 5. (UP).
Pegged at the highest levels since
pre-depression years, southeastern
business headed into the final one
third of the year this week with
all induces pointing to continual
ton of abnormally emphasized ac-
tivity.
The millions of dollars spilled
into all channels of commerce
through payment of the veterans
bonus was an important factor
this summer in sustaining business
during a period which normally
sees a sharp recession.
AS a result of this Influence,
southeastern industry and business
looked forward to a season OF
hustling activity, perhaps almost
the equal of the so-called "boom"
days of the 1929 period.
Bullish private crop estimates
and strengthening of the southern
spot basis sharpened demand for
cotton futures today and prices
pushed up about so cents bale,
closing to IL points higher. Spot
rose 8 points to 1904 cents and
even favorable moisture reports
from Oklahoma. northwest Texas
and other drouth districts failed
| to check the advances.
Private cotton crop estimates,
however, continued below the gov
ernment's Aug. estimate of 12,-
481, 200 bales, ranging from H.
$4,000 to 100000 bales.
Tobacco marketing was pouring
cash into pockets of Georgia,
North and South Carolina farm
ers while Florida multi-million-
dollar citrus crop began to move
northward in the first action of
the 1886 marketing season.
The tobacco market is in full
swing in North Carolina. At the
worlds largest market at Wilson,
n. c., prices were averaging
around % dollars while the aver
age at Tarboro went to S24.19 on
sales of 41,002 pounds. Averages
, in the Tarheel state were running
from two to three dollars a hun
dred over last years levels.
Georgia's tobacco marketing,
now completed, smashed all rec
ords for revenue since 1917 as the
crop brought $1S,364,727. The
previous high aggregate price was
| SIG, $50, 768-established in 1929
The average price at the Georgia
markets was 20.92 cents, material.
| ly above the 1885 average OF
1891 cents. ..
Backed by a 100000 advertis-
ing campaign, first Florida citrus
began leaving the state this week,
although heavy movement is not
expected to start before Sept. 10
or later. While accurate estimates
of the new crop are not available
FLORIDA is expected to market more
citrus than last year when 2S,-
100000 boxes of oranges, grape
| fruit and tangerines brought a
gross of $55, 100000. The next
| few weeks will see the citrus !;
movement develop into 1ull
swing.
