JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 6.
-W.D-High tides and gale-force
winds lashed Jacksonville, Nep-
tune and Atlantic beaches near
here for the third time in nine
days today threatening to was:
beach homes into the ocean and
to flood business streets.
Police Chief J. r. Jarboe of
Neptune Beach broadcast a spec
ial radio appeal for every
able bodied citizen to come i'm
mediately with at least five
shovels and five ~sandbags -
more if possible" He described
the high tides as "unprecedent-
ed" and estimated that winds
were blowing between As and so
miles an hour from the North
east.
Navy Sends Men
The Navy sent 200 men from
it's naval air station here, and
the Coast Guard base dispatch
ed 100 men to help bulwark the
crumbling beaches. They al
ready had been preached by an
other severe Northeast gale
September % which left 81 ,0O0,-
600 worth of destruction in it's
wake.
Jarboe said that the storm
already had washed out new gull
lies that were deep enough to
span for the first time the dune
ridge separating the beaches
from the main business thorough
fares.
Some three inches of rain had
fallen in the Jacksonville area
in the last 4 hours adding to the
flood threat. Jacksonville report
ed steady winds of 27 miles an
hours with gusts over 80 mph.

Then when the figures kept
pouring in and the buyers be-
came stronger as the day wore
on I found that always try
ing to keep on the high side

tual figures by S. per hundred.
There seems to be no lmme-
date explanation for this con-
tinuing upward spiral for tobac-
CO prices, some of which made
farmers on the market here to-
dav think of the high prices OF
1915 and 1916.
There were many good tobac-
cos on the market. That's true
These went strong. A whole
row. in which there was about
1900 pounds, was knocked off
quickly at $50 per hundred. The
highest price paid by any prl,-
waite buyer was also recorded
today. That was $62 per hun
dred. (The Sterilization Corpo-
ration regularly takes tobaccos
Up to $69, but today was the
first time this season q private
company had paid as high as
1927 ,
But there was also a good
deal of the common grades. So
the conclusion can't be reached
that todayfs farmer heart
ening average was the result OF
an overwhelming preponder'
ance of fine tobaccos.
The prices were just up.
That's all. Inferior grades that
two weeks ago were dropping
at from S28 to $40 per hundred
were taken today at from $40
to $50. Common grades brought
on up to $50. And, again, pile

fifties and the early sixties.

If the Wallace Market could get

weather that prevailed for so
many weeks after the market
opened on Aug. Is the prices

Their prophecies came true
with a bang today. They were
confident tonight that prices
would hold good for a spell,
depending somewhat on the
weather again, and they urged
farmers everywhere to bring
their tobaccos on to the Wallace
market as soon as possible.
The market went back on q
five-hour-per-day selling sched-
ule with today's sales. AS a re-
suit the warehouses were able
to take care of some 75,ON
pounds more tobacco than or
last weeks daily sales.

 GET HEARING ON
 LICENSE REFUSAL

Frank Kardanoff will appear be- fore Federal Judge George w. Folta tomorrow morning in U s. District Court to prove that his character warrants the issuance of a 1948 liquor license to the Occidental Bar. of which he is a partner. Decision to give Kardanoff a hearing was made this morning by Judge Folta on the plea of his attorney Howard D. Stabler
 The Judge also postponed further action on the applications of c. G. Brown until February IS. Brown had been refused licenses for his own store at Front and Franklin and as administrator of the Jim Ellen estate for the Ellen Liquor Store.
 Correctly filled out applications were received from the two appli- cants at Warm Springs Bay and the Judge said that he will hold them up until he has made an investigation of their merits. The applications had been previously re- iected because a sufficient number of local residents had not indicated their desire for the creation of the licenses. The applicants are Shipp and Gamble and O'Neill and Fenton.
