KINGSTREE TOBACCO MARKET.
150,000 Pounds Sold Opening-Day
Prices Going Higher.
The Kingstree tobacco market
opened Thursday of last week. It
is estimated that 150,000- pounds
were sold, the bulk of which was
bought in by the warehousemen, as
there were only two or three representative
buyers on the market that
day. The tobacco offered for sale
was mostly ground lugs, or inferior
grades,and under normal conditions
would have brought very little more
than was paid Thursday, as at present
there seems to be but little demand
for low grades..
Since the opening day sales have
been small and up until yesterday
the opening prices seemed to prevail.
Yesterday, however, the market
brightened up and prices generally
ranged higher, from 5 to as
hinrh aa Ifi ppnfe thft lflUpr ficure be
...6w ^ ~aj
ing paid for an exceptionally good
grade, but nothing extra as compared
to our best grades later on in
the season. This rise in the market
is attributable to two causes, viz:
better tobacco and more buyers.
Attending the sales yesterday were
noted the following buyers, gentlemen
representing the largest tobacco
dealers and manufacturers in the
world: Messrs J S Jenkins, Imperial
Tobacco Co; Henry Wood, Jr, Export
Tobacco Co; M C Ferrell,American
Tobacco Co; W K Medernach,
Liggett & Meyers; J C Coleman, Dibbel
Bros; T E Martin,Martin,Hughes
& Co; T E Person, Person, Garrett &
Co. andtMr Faulkner,Faulkner &Co.
Besides these, axnumber of independent
or individual buyers were on
the market, and while the quantity j
of tobacco offered was small,bidding
was spirited and prices ranged higher
than at any time since the opening
sales.
All our warehousemen are strictly
on the job and doing all they can
for their patrons. They are experts
in the tobacco business and are as
competent to judge the value of a
pile of tobacco as any of the buyers
are.which qualification enables them
to force each buyer to his limit if
fie gets the goods. In addition they ,
are each provided with an expert auch'nnppr
And ritrht here let us sav ! i
from our personal knowledge that
the four auctioneers on the Kingstree
market are known on all large
leaf tobacco markets in the United!
States and are recognized as among
the very best of the:r profession.
They are: Messrs Lee Hopper, Gorrell's
new warehouse; F E Boone,
Central warehouse; George Bass,
Morgan's warehouse; and the doubly !
famous Johnny Reb Drake, Nelson's
warehouse. Each warehouse is also
well equipped for handling the weed i
promptly and properly; their office |
forces and floor managers are pains- j
taking, competent and efficient.
Lastly?When your tobacco is
ready for the market bringit straight
to Kingstree, the best tobacco market
in the State.
