Federal Munitions Industry Forecast Georgia, Florida iobacco Markets Set for Opening (B.v The Associated Press.) Confronted b.v scant export prospects but heartened by promise of prices bolstered b.v better than average leaf. Geor gia and Florida tobacco growers trucked the season's first offer ings to warehouses today pre paratory to tomorrow's opening sales. Auctioneers will start their chants about mid-morning on 15 Georgia and two Florida mar kets. and earlv prices were ex pected b.v growers and ware housemen alike to five indication of tiic 1!) 10 trend. A year ago. opening day prices fluctuated in a 'li> to 30 cent range. Thereafter, prices dipped and the season's average for Georgia's fKS.i.'jO.tGO pounds was Iri.fc'J cents. Although Great Britain^. us ually purchaser of about 150. 000.000 pounds annually, is not a factor in this year's sales, buy ers of the Imperial Tobacco Company were expected to bid as agents for the Commodity Credit Corporation. The move, tobacco circles said, would approximately offset the withdrawal of Imperial and oth er companies because of the Fu ropcan war. The two Florida markets re ported slightly less than 2,000. 000 pounds of tobacco on the warehouse floors. There were no figures available on the widely scattered markets in the 15 Georgia cities. A sustained c;;m paiun to slow down the market ing of the crop, however, was expected to lessen the pressure on the wareh-/ ,es and reduce the volume offered at the first sales.
