(J o 13 TOBACCO SELLS LOW. e Nearly all North and South Carolina \ .Markets Made Different Aver. i ages Tuesday. ]c 1 ( The prices paid on the opening of the markets in North and South Car- f olina Tuesday were below what the s farmers expected ami the dissatis- ] tion seems to be pretty general. To-, bacco men claim that lugs and infer- Ti tor tobacco brought the averages down. Farmers were advised not to v bring this quality of tobacco to mar- l ket, but some of them took a chance| in the hopq that it would bring g enough to pay for n*aking and liar-i v vesting. The average in the two states, according to newspaper accounts, was s about half "what it was last year. li Eighty-five thousand pounds were* sold on the Dillon market Tuesday r and the average price was $5.10 per v hundred. Some tobacco sold as low as;a 10 cents per 100 while several piles! brought as much as 4 0 cents per,j pound. Several loads of inferior to-ja bacco were taken back home where! it will be converted into compost. j| Doth warehousemen and buyers are a confident, however, that as the better grades begin to come in the prices! l will improve, and the farmers should'\ not be discouraged over the opening prices. The averages on the various neighboring markets Tuesday were as fol-< lows: jl Marion 8 cents; Kingstrec 7.10;'t Florence 7 cents; Johnsonville 8. cents; Timmonsville 10 cents; An-It drews 11 cents; Lake City 10 cents; Is Manning 4 cents; Fitzgerald, Ga., 7; i cents; Lumberton 5 cents, Fairmont! 7.10 cents. it These figures, however, should uotji be accepted at their face value, asjt the average depended altogether 011 it th? quality of the tobacco offerd. On | j some markets the quality was high; while on others it was low, and wherei] low figures are given the quantity ofp inferior tobacco brought the average; down without affecting the price ofij the better grades. , o Calvary.
