UP TO PRESENT
Estimate Says That Much
Tobacco Already
Sold Here.
According to the monthly report of
Supervisor Wharton, of the local to-
market Greenville has sold
the mouth of November
pounds of tobacco at an average of
per hundred pounds.
This totals for tho season up to the
first of December about seventeen mil-
lion pounds, making an average in
price of nearly lit for all
cos Including the common and good.
A tobacconist this morning when
speaking of the report, stated that
this price will equal any East-
Carolina city, and It was probable
would lead all others.
It la predicted among the ware-
housemen that this market will sell
close to three pounds more
before the close of the season, while
some expect the totals for tho season
even more.
