NEW BRIGHT BELT

RALEIGH, Aug. 31-R- From
the New Bright Belt tobacco belt
tonight there came general pre-
dictions that prices on Tuesdays
opening sales would be satisfactory.
The forecasts were made in the
face of an agriculture department
report that much green weed, some
of it hurt by erratic weather, would
find its place on the warehouse
floors at the states IA markets.
Farmers may weed out the
green leaves in the. grading pro-
cess, insuring better prices. Poor
ly graded, green leaf offerings were
quickly discounted on the Georgia
and Border Belts.
Pre-sale speculation was that
opening day prices would exceed
the 1854 average last year on
the New Bright Belt. A total of
1888, $40, $40 pounds was sold in the
belt last year, compared with a
crop of ZIG ,27O, 900 pounds forecast
this year.
Growers optimism was bolster
ed by the short crops, the recent
ly voted control program and that
TACT that British buyers were on
the floors purchasing the weed
through the Commodity Credit Cor
poration.

HIGHER TREND

FLORENCE, S. c., Aug. S1.-R-
The agricultural marketing service
reported today that average prices

bacco sold this week on the Border
Belt markets of the Carolinas show
ed IAN irregularly higher trend"
practically all grades were higher
than last week, the increases rang.
ing from 25 cents to 81 a hundred"
the report said. Cutters and most
of the better quality grades of Tugs
were steady to 81 a hundred higher
for the week"
Some of the lower quality grades
of Tugs and virtually all grades of
primings showed decreases of rs
cents to $1.75 a hundred.
THE tobacco sold, consisted prin-
cipally of common and low quality
leaf and fair and good Tugs. Lugs
predominated. A considerable vol.
m of primings-mainly of low to
good quality-also was included In
the sales.
considered as a whole, the offer.
ings were inferior in quality to those
of the opening week. Most markets
reported that sales were heavy dur
ing the week and some warehouse
floors were not cleared at the close
of sales on Friday. However, deliv-
cries were lighter toward the end
of the week, indicating somewhat
smaller marketings for next week.
Thirteen out of the 16 type 13
markets, representing 20 out of the
20 sets of buyers in the belt, re.
ported gross sales for the week OF
25,704,880 pounds at an average of
$17.83 a hundred. On the three mar
kets which failed to report it is
estimated that about $500, 900 pounds
were sold bringing the weeks sales
to a total of approximately 8 ,O0O,-
900 pounds.
"The seasons gross sales to date,
based on the 10 markets reporting,
total 44,424,678 pounds at an aver
age of 1874 a hundred. It is esti.
mated that an additional IL, 800, 900
pounds have been sold on markets
not reporting. This would bring the
seasons gross sales to a total of
around 81, 900, GOO pounds"

of us may have to do-to 60 back
to private life"
The announcement climaxed an
event marked by extreme informal
ity. Some Of the Speakers called
tn President and Mrs. Roosevelt
FRANKLIN" and "Elanor."
moe" Smith,. the most, said the
meetings would continue right on
in 1871, and thrugh 1915. Standing
on a platform in front of his white
frame house, Smith asserted:
president Roosevelt in Novem-
Der, is going to be reelected. And
I quite agree with Jim Farley's
statement in 1896 when he said,
"Mr. President, had you gone
over to Maine and Vermont, you'd
have carried the whole 48 states
II think maybe the opposition
might get Maine and Vermont and
they've got a fighting chance for
New Hampshire, and further than
that, I don't concede a thing"
Judge John E. Mack of Pough-
keepse, who nominated the chief
executive at the 1882 and 1886
conventions, said that Duchess
county and the rest of the country
knew Mr.. Roosevelt had a job to
do in Washington, even though he
wanted to retire to his stone cot
tage and his library.
Governor Herbert Lehman of
New York, who came to Hyde
Park to discuss the st. Lawrence
waterway project with the Presi-
dent, was present. So were Crown
Princess Martha of Norway,
group of local d%ign1xarIes and the
United States military academy
band.
Mr.. Roosevelt. speaking extern
portaneously, told his ''neighbors''
he wished he could see more Of
them in the course Of the year.
"And it should not be k e n
politically" he went on, IF I say
I hope Twill see more of youth

NATIONAL, STATE

Census Shows Population
Gain Of 10 Per Cent?;
Other Cities Lose

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81. Up
Census figures disclosed today tina
Washington and the 48 state capital.
had an average 1930-4O population
gain of 10 per cent while many in
dustrial cities declined in size.
The figures are not yet detailed
enough to show how governmental.
employment figured in gains of state
capitals, but Washington's SO pei
cent jump to 663,153 was attributed
almost wholly to increases in the fed
eral payroll.
Among state capitals, there was a
81 per cent rise that brought Austin,
Texas, to S6,311; a 50 per cent boost
bringing Tallahassee, Fla, to 16,097;
and a 40 per cent leap to 65,434 in
the count of Phoenix, Ariz.
Boston, Mass, one Of the two los
ers among state capitals, fell from
781, 188 to 1853, $40. However, business
is a far greater factor in Boston's
population than government.
Frankfort, KY, only other capital
loser, declines from 1926 to Hap.
Here are the figures on other
state capitals, giving 1910 and 1880
figures in that order:
