During the 1915-16 season the service rendered at Tarboro was 
extended to Goldsboro and Wilson, in the Coastal Plain section, with 
the result that at the towns where cotton was classed before sale a 
higher average price was received than in towns where the cotton was 
unclassed. Table VI gives a comparison of prices received for cotton 
that was classed before sale as compared with prices received for un- 
classed cotton in certain towns during this season. Prices received 
in the three towns where classing work was done averaged 30 points,
