Kinston, September 15—Conservative tobacconists here today warned planters to “ease up” in their marketing operations. With deliveries here recently running as high as 500,00 pounds a day, prices may sag if the rush continues, it is feared. Growers in the local territory are putting the product on the market at the rate of 10 million pounds a month. Even with a bumper crop, gradual selling to carry the season past the holidays would be preferrable to forcing the market, tobacconists say.
