Excitement Is Lacking Florence, Aug. 7.-Nothing like the exeitement and rush of the old auction days attended the opening today of the Florence tobacco market, which this year, is 100 per cent Tri-State Tobacco Growers' Co-operative mar ket. What tobacco came in today was delivered in the usual hours of busi ness-not, as in the old days, as if the grower were ashamed to be seen coming into town in daylight with a load of his product. Orderliness certainly characterized the husi '"iess today. Most planters are believed to have thought the market would open to morrow. This accounts for the fact that more tobacco was not deliv ered. With the opening of the ware houses this morning, the association posted the scale of advances which. it will make upon delivery of to bacco to the warehouse. The out side figures for L.e various classes of tobacco are as follows. Wrappers-$22.75 to $17.50 per 100 pounds. Cutting leaf-$15.05 to $7 per 100 pounds. Damaged $4.20 to $1.40. Cutters-$15.75 to $7.7$ per 100 pounds. Smoking lugs-$6.30 to $1.05 per 100 pounds. Primings-$5.60 to $1.05 per 190 pounds. In addition to this advance by the association, the owner is able to borrow 50 per cent more from his local' bank upon the certificate which the association issues upon receipt and grading of the tobac 2. In instance, if he receives $22.75 ior 100 pounds of first grade wrap pers he may borrow $11.37 more from the bank upon his certificate making a total of $34.12 on his delivery. Bamberg, Aug. 7.-The farmers to bacco warehouse, operating a member of the Tobacco Growers' Co-operative Association, opened here this morning, under the warehouse management of J. F. Lane, who has heretofore op erated an independent house here. The advances made to tobacco growers by the association through the local warehouse were quite sat isfactory, and the farmers doing business with the warehouse today were highly pleased, it is said. The advances ranged as follows: Wrappers-$17.50 to $22.75 per 100. pounds. Cutters- 70 to $15.75 per hun dred pounds. Lugs-35c to $6.60 per hundred pounds. The grade of the tobacco brought in , todlay wvas very good, it wvas stated at cne warehouse this after noon. Several fa rmers receivedl in advances around ten and eleven cents per pound, while the quantity of very low grade tobacco wvas very small. In fact there was practically no tob~acco on wvhich there wvas not an adlvance of at least three cents a pound, and little of that. Trhe farmers were given the cash right on the spot for their advances. On the opening (lay last year, to bacco sold on the local market at an average of slightly above six cents a pound. On the opening day two .years ago it sold1 for about twenty-one cents a pound. Opens at Manning Manning, Autg. 7.-Tobacco p~rices on the independent market here have been improving since the opening break and while most of the offerings ar low grades today's average was $15.70 Per hundred. The "Co-ops" bega n functioning today and are now receiving and gradling at the Clark Warehouse. Each pile is graded, given a grade niumber weighced and placed in its proper grade bin, the seller is then Child-birth Valuable lilustrated Book Sent Free How thousands of women, by the simple method of an eminent physician, have avoided unnecessary mistries through many months and up to the moment B~aby has arrived, is fully explained i the remarkable ook, "Motherhood andl tho Baby."
