THURSDAY TOBACCO
HIGHEST FOR WEEK
Average of $28.42 Made for
. 1886 Pounds on Hen

Sale of 411,846 pounds of tobacco
on the Henderson market yesterday
brought the highest average of the
entire week at $28.42 per hundred
pounds. 1t was shade higher than
the $28.40 on Monday, and Sill, O6O.52

I, Through Thursday the market has
sold just under 100000 pounds for
the week for nearly 100000 and an
average still we'll above the 28-cent
figure.
r. W. Mcfarland, sales supervisor,
in announcing the statistics said sales
TODAY, last of the week, would be right
around half a million pounds. He pre-
dicted the best average for any day
of the week. Clear, cool weather made
ideal selling conditions for the leaf
and growers brought in large guam
titles for sale.
Indications were that the week s
total would be right at the figure for
last week, which was just short of
two and half million pounds. It was
one of the biggest weeks in the history
of the market.
Growers continue well pleased with
prices being paid here, and individuals
are making averages ranking with the
highest of recent years. Some ware
houesmen are predicting high prices
will prevail until near Thanksgiving
by which time it is estimated the bulk
Of the years crop will have been sold.
Sales this week are expected to put

Board of County Commissioners is
to be held in the court house tomor-
row morning at 10 o'clock for the
purpose, chiefly, of considering an ex-

be done was for the governors office
in Raleigh to assign a judge to hold
the term.
