HEAVIER SALE MONDAY

Sales for the first week of the 1887
38 selling season on the Henderson
tobacco market, which opened only
last Thursday and has been in opera
ton only two days, amounted to $780,
$50 pounds, and sold for $143, 030.02 for
an average lof $25.71 per hundred
pounds, it was announced officially
today " R.. w. Mcfarland, sales SUI
pervisor for the market.
Most of the offerings were on
Thursday, the opening day, when it
was estimated 100000 pounds of leaf
was on sale. The estimate overshot
the market of the actual sales but
very little, since the total was only
556,330 pounds, but there was very lit
tie new tobacco on Friday.
At the opening last year the mar
ket sold 496,154 pounds for 1SO,857.57
for an average of $26.37 per hundred
pounds:
Thursdays sale as officially given
as 4S3, O0S pounds for Sill, 25381 at an
average of $25.70. Fridays figures
showed 123, 1922 pounds sold for $31,-
776.21 for an average of $25.76, or
slightly better than the first day.
Medium grades of leaf were selling
higher than on the opening last year
according to the supervisor, but TOP
quality and inferior grades were 2
trifle under the opening last year
Much of the tobacco on the warehouse
floors the first two days was of the
medium types, however, and ran w
the average. There were countless
piles that went for prices well up in
the 3Os The highest observed open
ing day was 40 cents a pound, and a
few piles were as low as two cents
Henderson's price so far has been
in excess. of that of any of the lead
ing markets in the belt, although sales
have not been as large in volume as
in one or two instances.
Mondays offerings are expected to
be about equal to those of opening
day here in volume, though farmers
are not yet ready to bring in their
crop in great quantities. Some little
curing is still in progress here and
there, and there has not been time
for stripping. Moderate sales during
the week, with a sharp pickup or
Friday, is anticipated, and after that

stride.
Much late tobacco as damaged by
heavy rains in The past month, but
that portion of the crop that was
cured before the, rains set in is re-
ported to be Of good grade, and is
expected to bring a fairly good price.
High averages for the first week
were satisfactory to growers, and
there was no turning of tags and no
outright complaining, so far as was
observed. Moreover, the good opening
impaired a general feeling of op-
timism to the business community
and the expectation now is for the
growers and the business that de-
ponds so largely on the farmers for
tunes for it's character to have good
season this fall.

The lawyer claimed the commission
is exercising an unconstitutional
power when it attempts to regulate

Justice Morris Soper Of the Fourth

siding at today's session, granted to
Rosenfeld that the milk Is transported

ARMS RACE HALT
IS URGED BY HULL
Hopes U. S. Can Share Lead,
He Informs Foreign
Governments.
BY the Associated Press.

BY tht Associated Press.
Secretary Hull has conveyed to
foreign governments his hope that
the United States can share leader
ship Of movement to halt the world
armament race when and II" an
agreement appears possible.
This was disclosed today by pub
hcation of instructions sent recently
to all diplomatic and consular agents
in new effort by the Secretary of
State to promote world peace through
international economic rehabilitation.
The circular suggested that the
departments representatives make
every effort to impress Americas
economic policies on foreign officials
and stress the Importance of adoption
by individual countries of q similar
program.
War Trade Held "Ominous."
Describing as "ominous" the grow
ing Importance Of international trade
in war materials, Hull said:
Through every source of persua-
sion and in every act Of policy within
the limits of our established inde-
pendent foreign policy, this Govern
ment is exerting itself in the effort
to safeguard against having the arma-
ment race eventuate into catastrophe
war
Barring such a calamitous event.
the constant increase in armament
must be halted, either by agreement
or merely by exhaustion and mutual
consent.
Il think that the maintenance of
the most jealous insistence and en-
phas1s upon economic questions may
serve to bring nearer the time when
the armament race can be halted.
1t should serve to awaken and to
strengthen all Of those in every coun-
try who are aware of the terrible sac
rihces being required for armament"
Observers generally said the pro-
nouncement constituted the most di-
rect assurance yet proclaimed of this
Governments willingness to cooperate
in new armament limitations confer
ence-provided it is convinced of the
good faith Of other world powers.
Trade Liberalization Move.
Informed persons also professed to
see in it renewed evidence that the
United States is determined to insist
on constructive action toward a lib
eralization of international trade as
a necessary condition to such CO.
operation.
These persons, cycling the undeclared
war between China and Japan and the
Mediterranean crisis engendered by
the Spanish war, stressed conviction.
however, that there is little immediate
hope for concerted international action
toward these ends.
Hull made clear in his memorandum.
nevertheless, that he does not intend
to relent in his efforts to achieve the
goal of international economic CO.
operation.
He recommended general adoption
of principles embodied in the United
States most-favored-n reciprocal
trade program as proved method by
which a world trade rehabilitation
movement could be launched.
When and If a promising oppor-
tunity comes to bring about a halt
thereon Con armaments) by agree
ment," Hull wrote. Il hope this Gov
ernment will be able to share in the
leadership OF that move"
