Kinston, Dec. 26—The Tobacco Board of Trade’s best guessers here proved themselves too conservative in forecasting 1924 sales at Kinston. At curing time the general estimate called for the marketing of 20 million pounds on the local market. In October the estimate was advanced to 22 million pounds.
Today with the market suspended for the holidays, the season’s total stood at more than 22 million pounds with 1.5 to 2 million pounds believed to be outstanding.
