WARRENTON, COUNTY (
TOBACCO PRICES !
SHOW INCREASE
Farmers And Merchants Are
Jubilant As Prices For
Golden Weed Soar
WEEK'S AWRAGE IS 27C
Tobacco prices have skyrocketed
here this week, leaving in their
wake smiling farmers and nipnopd
merchants who are feeling to some
extent the stimulant of the money
which falls into the channels of
trade as farmers receive their
checks from the warehousemen for
their labor.
Sales here during the entire
week have averaged around 27
cents a pound, although the prices
were slightly under this figure yesterday
when the market averaged
$26.92 per hundred.
The approximately 27c average of
this week is about 40 per cent
higher than the average for the ;
corresponding week last year when
the weed brought $19.05 per him- j
dred- The season's average last ,
year was $20-59. ,
Due to inclement weather the (
sales have not been as heavy this
week as has been the case on other ,
occasions, but many of those who
did bring their tobacco here received
prices as high as 50c per pound
and above- The lower grades kept (
the average down to around 27c per
pound, bu; this average, considered
unusually high, has brought forth
words of praise up and down the
streets this week.
