The highest price reported was six cents a pound. There were many piles in the 40 to 45 cent ranjre. and a few at the minimum price reported. While there \v;is general satisfaction on the part of the grower-, under the circumstances, there was considerable complaining and dissatisfaction with what growers considered the muddling of the situation by government authorities in the ceiling manipulation. The market started the new season on resti icted sales hours, operating from 9:30 a. in. to 1 p. in., but with two separate sales periods within that range, from 9:30 to 11:15 a. in., and from 11:15 a. m. to the 1 p. m. closing. The shorter hours schedule was adopted because of labor scarcity and inability on that account of buyers to handle larger quantities. Offerings for thc day were estimated at -IDO to 500 thousand pounds, much smaller than last year's opening of 70(1 to l!0ft thousand pounds, because growers had been urged not to glut the market on account of difficulties buyers were experiencing in handling their purchases. It was thought that probably 200.000 pounds of leaf was on floors of warehouses where no sales were conducted today and where first sales will be (Continued on Page Five) Tobacco Men From Old Belt Protest Delayed Opening Raleigh.

Middle Belt Prices Estimated 35-41c; Leaf Quality Fair The Middle flue-cured tobacco belt opened its sales today with unofficial averages that ranged from to 41 cents for mostly medium «rade leaf, an abundance of which had been damaged by continued dry, hot weather. The opening was sunn v. Ii.it shaky. From the State Agriculture Department had come a recommendation that growers move slowly in placing their offerings on the floors. The average on the big Kastern Belt had nose-dived to about cent- and there was little hope of the Middle Belt equalling the -in.:',!! a hundred averagc recorded on la.it year's opening. Only last week Governor Broughton advised tanners to retard the movement ol thi.r crop to market. l)i>th to afford labor for, food and tibre crops ready tharvesting and to prevent veed damage by lung waits on the fi<«>rs. lieports Irotn the nine markets today indicated, however, tli.it farmer-: for the must part were satislied. even though efforts had failed t" set the Office <>t Price Administration to increase its 41 cents a pound weighted average ceiling.
