EASTERN TOBACCO
PRICES LOOK FAIR
Nothing for Jubilation Or
Alarm, Is View from
This Distance

Prices paid at the season opening
of the tobacco markets of Eastern
North Carolina Thursday were sized
up today by growers and business
men here, and the conclusion reached
was that there was nothing in the
first days sales to become excited
over nor anything to cause alarm. The
averages appeared to be fairly salts
factory, and at a level which, if main
tanned for the season, will enable
growers to realize some profit from
their years efforts on the farm.
There seemed to be disposition to
sense a slightly lower level for the
day than was attained on the open
ing in the Border Belt markets lit
tie over two weeks ago, and there
were some reports of price tags being
turned by growers in few instances.
This was not general, however, and
payments by the buyers were under
stood to be fairly satisfactory.
AS is usually the case, number
of Henderson business men and ware
housemen visited various markets in
the eastern belt on the opening day
to see firsthand the prices being paid
and the levels reached by tobacco OF
varying types.
1t is believed that prices on the
Henderson market when the season
begins in the Middle Belt three weeks
hence will be fairly pleasing.
A reasonably good quality Of leaf
is being cured on Vance county farms
as tobacco has shown considerable
comeback in the late growing season
following a poor start in the spring
because of unfavorable weather. The
volume is expected to be much the
same in this territory. as that last
year, and the price is expected to be
very close to that paid at that time.

vision than in any other. Good hunt
ing and fishing pictures continue

of 500 for the best picture from all
divisions, and $50 in prizes in each
of these categories. Fishing, hunting
