l was just sorry he was forced
into the observation at all be-
cause 1, and everybody else who
mas any connection with the
Wallace market, would like to
see tobacco sell higher and
higher.
1t is no consolation to US on
the market over here that oil
tobacco markets everywhere
have been affected by this vir.
tual withdrawal OF the British
interests from the market.
NO OO1IllOEC
It. is certainly no comfor. to
us that we have heard today
that Wallace has suffered less
from the withdrawal than most
markets in the Eastern North
Carolina belt. It is only natural
that Wallace should hold up per-
haps a bit better than the 9TH
ers because it is a patent fact
that the farmers of our section
grow better tobaccos than in
most sections--and better tcbac-
cos are holding firm despite the
British cut. This fact is attested
to by the figures that show Wal
lace to be at the top of all
markets in the belt for price
averages.
No, this gives us little con-

terest in the problems of farm
ers who sell tobacco with them.
1t hurts them when their farm
er-cusomers r forced to get
less for their tobaccos than they
think they should.
Now, let's see just how the
British cut, which just became
effective with today's sales, is
affecting the farmer and mis-
pocketbook.
Up through yesterday the
Wallace Market had sold 49,.
289, 154 gross pounds of tobacco
this year for a total of S., $780,
529.44. That is an average per
hundred pounds of $43 80. {The
net pounds - actual amount of
producers tobacco that has
flown across warehouse floors
here this year-would be a bit
less than that, but the average
would be a few cents per pound
hlgher.)
Yesterdays sales of 277, 900
pounds brought an average of
$44.44 per hundred.
AVERAGES S4O.94
Today with the Export and
Imperial Tobacco companies
buyers in the sales line but buy
ing comparatively few pounds.
224, 1886 pounds were sold for
$91, 1905 "a. This was an average
of $40.94 per hundred.
Thus, the difference between
today, when British buyers
were not buying, and yesterday,
when they were, was $3.50 per
hundred pounds-$3.50 per hun
dred pounds less than it vas
yesterday. hat is also $3.50 per
hundred pounds less than the
seasons average.
I do not know yet whether
these figures reflect a true pic
ture of the situation. I do know
they scotch frantic and gossipy
reports that the market was off
$1,000 per hundred.
The market was not off $40 90,
or even near it, per hundred
pounds. 1t was off $50 per hum
dred pounds from YESTERDAY
and $2.88 from the seasons
average. They are figures taken
directly from the reports made
by the buyers here to their
companies.
The domestic companies -
Liggett and Myers, Reynolds,
American, Brown and William
son, P. Lorrilard. Philip Morris,
and others-paid as much for
their types of tobacco today as
they've been paying all along.
The better grades of smoking
tobacco were bought lust as
readily today by these domestic
companies as they were yester-
day.
Prices of $50 per hundred
were just as usual today as they
were yesterday.
I know of one farmer-Clay-
ton Bats, who farms near Tin
City for Roy Baines of Wallace
= who happened to be selling
his tobacco nearby while I was
talking to Reynolds. Bats aver
aged $50 per hundred for about
1900 pounds of tobacco. There
were many others with individ.
ual averages equally as good,

GRANGE STUNNED
BY BRITISH ACT
Recall OF Tobacco BUYERS
Puts Farmers AT Meet
In Others

GREENSBORO, Oct. 23-iR-
North Carolina farm leaders
went into a huddle here tonight
after announcement of the Brit
ish ban on tobacco imports ex-
ploded during a session Of the
state grange convention.
After Mrs. Harry B. Caldwell,
master, stunned abut 400 dele
gates with the announcement,
her husband and newly elected
successor called an emergency
meeting of the executive COM
mittee for tonight. Caldwell ex-
planned the report shocked
Grange farmers so they took no
action during committee reports
which followed.
A report to state tobacco
growers was expected follow
ing the executive committee
meeting.
Mrs. Caldwell issued the fol-
lowing statement:
"While We sympathize fully
with the plight of the British in
this emergency, we realize
more than ever that it is i'm
perative that we develop pro-
grams to help in the restoration
of economic conditions through
out the world which will make
possible the establishment of
normal trade relations.
"This startling announcement
should stimulate increase pro-
duction of milk, livestock, and
other commodities in short sup
ply so North Carolina economy
will not suffer too much from
these recent developments
abroad"
Convention delegates voted at
this mornings session to hold
their 1948 meeting in Wilson.
This selection followed the Gus
tom of rotating the convention
between the east and west.
Senator William B. Umstead
of Durham spoke to the session
at a meeting at Guilford col
lege tonight.

I jotted down.
HEAVY LEAF OFF

I jotted down.
HEAVY LEAF OFF
The prices were off on the
heavy leaf normally bought by
Imperial and Export, These
companies had been paying
from $50 to $50 for a lot OF
these types. Today some Of
these sold as low as $46. These
prices were the ones that gave
rise to the erroneous rumor
that tobacco prices had
dropped $40 per hundred.
Since Export and Imperial do
not normally buy as heavily as
the American companies it IS as
incorrect to judge the entire
market by these type reductions
as it would be to say a whole
herd of dairy COWS was no good
because VIC cows gave only
three gallons of milk per day
while all the rest were each
giving five gallons per day.
The figures as a whole, while
admittedly off from yesterday
and when compared with the
figures for the entire season,
were off just what I wrote
above: 1888 per hundred from
the entire seasons figures and
$3.50 per hundred from yeSrer-
days.
I have no idea how tobacco
will sell tomorrow, nor whether
subsequent sales will recoup the
losses suffered today. I do not
believe anybody knows, even
Prime Minister Clement Attlee
of England, himself. It's one OF
these situations which involves
the whole complex problems OF
world economy, which have
been increasing ever since, and
| before, World War TWo's end.
