JOYNER. meri Old Stocks. * There probably uever has been a time in the history of this mar- ket when the wurket has been. as bare of old stocks as at the pres: ent time. Practically the last ves. tige of old sto. ks of wrappers has disappeared, double old cutters are hard to find, smokers are al-— most equally 80, while the big accumulation of old stocks of fillers have gradually disappeared until there are uot five hundred hogsheads to be found, hanting every nook and corner in the market. In fact the position ino working stocks is stronger than at anv time for the past five years. Already manufacturers are mak ing inquiries for the ‘94 stocks, und dealers have disposed of -_ liberal quantities of their not over large stocks. Business haying been so unset- tled for the past twelve months, speculators have been wary of buying anything that they could not find immediate sale for. In consequence of this, speculators touched working stock very light. Hence it will take no very large demand to clean up the 94 stock of these goods that are in the hands of epeculators.— Danville Journal. W.1L Pender and VD. D. Over- ton had a five mile bicycle race Thursday. Pender made the dis tance in 14} minutes and Over- ton in 143 minutes. ‘the warehouses. IT CAME TO-DAY. ‘The Hundred Thousand Mark Passed. Fridays have developed into record breakers for the Green- ville tobacco market. Every day during theis week the sales were good, averaging about 20,000 pounds per day the first four days, but the quantity that came in to day wasa surprise to everybody. Just think of it! there were 125,- 000 pourds of tobacco brought to Greenville. Our people never saw the like before, and it looked Winking---B Buying —_ FALL & WINTER. GOODS, almost like a circus day around Tobacco began coming in by day break, and when the sales started at 10o0’clock there were rows of wagons around every warehouse waiting to get in. There was more toboccu by fully 20,000 pounds than could get on the warehouse floors and it had to be stored away in the prize houses. The Star opened the breaks with 25,000 pounds apd _ fairly made the price hom. It sold away up yonder, and the sellers were never better pleased. Ola Forbes rang his new beli for the second sale at the Plant- ers, and made the nice lay out of 28,000 pounds for the buyers to bid on. It was fine, too, and he spurred them on to the very top notch. When they struck the Eastern there was such a sea of tobacco that the boys said they had to stuy themselves up with some dinner before tackling it. This excellent house just broke the record of the Greenville market. There were 700 piles on the floor which aggregated 50,000 pounds, and twenty loads more had to be stored. When a 60 feet addition was recently made to the length of this house sometody wanted to know if they ever expected to fillup so much room. But to day showed. The floor was full. the drive way was full, and even thep more room was needed. much tobacco going there is suf ficient proof that prices at the The King ¢ Wait for Me. FRANK WILSON, Clothier. The Greenville had the closing sale with 16,000 pounds. Leon Evans says that while he has not! got the largest house and cannot get quite so many pounds on his floor as the others, he would like to see anybody seli for higher prices than he does. And right then the “parson” spoke a para- ble. Another great thing about this big break is the prices at which tobacco sold. The REFLEcToR took particular pains to go among the farmers on eyery floor and ask him about prices. Not a dis- satisfied man was found on the wholebreak. On the contrary we received such answer» as these : “‘Never saw prices higher” “It is selling better than I ever knew.” “Better prices were neyer had in Greenville than to-day.” “I am delighted with my prices—could not ask for better” There were many other similar expressions. Please the sellers and everybody else is pleased. Like we have said before, just So| watch Greenville—she is going | above 5,000,000 pounds this sea— rn are all right. ——— A Big Dou’t.
