Weather Favorable
For Growing Peanuts
Weather conditions during the past
week were generally favorable over
the Virginia-Carolina area for the
growing peanut crop. Stands were
reported as ranging from good to ex
cellent. Lack of supplies in the hand
of dealers and shellers has reduced
the volume of offerings for trading.
Most mills are reported to be practic
ally cleaned out of all grades of both
shelled and cleaned stocks. The mar
ket was steady.
A few scattered sales and quota
tions f.o.b. shipping point, per pound,
were reported as follows: Virginias,
