As we go to press sales continue in two of the large warehouses, there fore we are unable to know just how much will be sold and what the aver age will be, but at least 600,000 will be sold an a good average is exepected since the weed is bringing a good price today. Tobacco sales started here Monday morning with a million and a half pounds of bright leaf in town. Extra space was secured at orfce, and after the floors were filled the overage was warehoused for Tuesday’s sale and it was large also. The offerings were of good grades from well up on the stalk and av eraged high, 26 cents being the best estimate that could be had at the writ ing. Laurens County Weed Monday was designated as Laurens County Day and all three warehouses Mad a heavy percentage of the sale from Laurens with growers from that section in evidence. It is stated that Laurens county i will increase the tobacco acreage next season to not less than 10,000 acres, which is good indication that the growers are well satisfied with the prices which they are recieving here this season. Third Set Os Buyers Needed All three tobacco warehouses were full of bright leaf again Tuesday but sales were completed at only two of the houses, the two sales totaling 632, 000 pounds with something like 400, 000 pounds left for Wednesday's sale. A larger percentage of low grades was offered Tuesday, which reduced the general average to below Mon day’s figures and although good com mon grades sold around 30 cents the sales only showed and average of 24.- 60. A third set of buyers is badly needed at this point in order for all the offerings to be cleared each day. Rains Curtail Sales Here Some Tobacco sales Wednesday totaled 597,000 pounds at the three houses, averaging $25.17. Rains n this sec tion Tuesday and Wednesday night slightly curtailed the sales. Some tips are coming during the last few days which keeps the average price f»om running as high as it should. Good common tobacco is bringng 30 to 40 cents per pound, f* f '** '• .■, „ ■ Presbyterian Church , (CITY HALL) f Sunday at 10.00 A.
