Third Week Of Sales Char- f

Heavy Deliveries To All d
Points 11
FLORENCE, S. C., Aug. 18? c
The third week of sales on South;
Carolina and border North Caro- ^
lina tobacco markets was characterized
by extremely heavy deliveries
to all points. According
to the United States and North
Carolina Departments of Agriculture,
43,376,810 pounds were sold ^
at an average of $44.91.
This was an increase of 4,379,107
pounds over the volume marketed
last week. Heavy deliveries
during the entire week caused
blocked sales on all markets, some si
were reporting enough tobacco j y
on hand for two or three days' t;
sales of next week. Considerable i ej
amount of damaged tobacco ap-.
peared on floors due to blocked
conditions and excess rains. j
. Average prices for most med-ld|
ium and better quality grades
this week were steady to S1.00
lower than last week's high
levels. However, most lower quali-' 01
ties wer# $1.00 to $5.00 higher.'"
Greater advances occurred InM'
green and nondescript. This decrease
in better qualities and increase
in lower has narrowed e<
price range until all tobacco is B
selling between $36.00 and $46.00. "
However, the bulk of offerings "
is selling between $44.00 and $46 00
with $46. practically top. The ef
general average for season w
through Friday was $44.80, an
increase of 15 cents per hundred | M
aver last week's average of j B
544.65. This increase in general!^
average is attributed to higher j
prices paid for lower qualities.' a
