Several mem bers have brought in tobacco under this newv system and are trying it out 'I'O A C C ~'D l~ &~~ Q today. They are receiving approxi mately one-third the market value as the first paymient or the cash advance. The remainder will be paid out as the difi'erent grades of tobacco are ~ c n av y ursold.

Excitement Is Lacking Florence, Aug. 7.-Nothing like the excitement 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 busi ess 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 the 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 co. In instance, if he receives $22.75 for 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 crated 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-$7.70 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 was stated at the wvarehouse this after. noon. Several farmers received in advances around ten and eleven cents per pound, while the quantity of very lowv grade tobacco was very small. In fact there was practically no tobacco on which there was not an advance of at least three cents a pound, andl little of that. The farmers wvere given the cash right on the spot for their advances. On the opening day last year, to b~acco) sold on the local market at an average of slightly above six cents a p~ound. On the opening (lay two .years ago it sold for about twenty-one cents a pound. Opens at Manning Manning, Aug. 7.-Tobacco prices on the independent market here have b~een improving since the opeCning break and while most of the offerings are lowv gr'ades todlay's average was $15.70 Per hundired.
