Prices dipped fractions to as much

Utility shares, especially the lower

and scattering of industrials, played
the principal part In tipping the scales
upward after the initial decline. The
firmness was, fairly general. however,
by the finish.
While the Associated Press average
OF 60 stocks advanced 2 OF q point
at $50, the IS utilities tn the aggre-
gate made new 1856 high of 473,

pace, particularly at the beginning,

season gets off to a start September

Mr.. McNeny said the prospective
short crop and increased consumption
of tobacco has resulted in very ex-
tensive purchases of leaf stocks from
independents by domestic and foreign
accounts. He also said that the trade
at this time anticipates higher prices
than in 1885, due to the short crop and
also heavier demands. He thought the
outlook for the coming season was
even better than a year ago.

next week, it was stated today by d.
l.. Cannon, manager of the Carolina
Power & Light Company offices here.
That does not mean that all prospec-
tive customers will have their homes
wired and connections made, but onlv
that the line will have been strung
from Henderson into the territory to
be served
The lines will extend several miles
east of EPSON to the Wilson store
and the residences of the Wilson
,5Iothers who own and operate that
business.
Many prospective customers already
have their homes wired for the cur
rent and are awaiting the connections
to modernize their residences.
Already rural electric service has
been provided in the Middleburg sec
tion, and additional lines are contem-
plated in various parts of the county

Use OF furnishing rural identification
to large portion of the county. Lines
are contemplated from Henderson OF
other connecting points in the county
