July 26 Opening day's sales on the Georgia and Flor ida flue-cured tobacco markets were marked by lower prices than on the first day in 1948 and a very heavy sales volume. 'The U. S. Dept. of Agriculture reports that practically all grades averaged below last year's open day prices. Better qualities declined $1.00 to $3.00 per hundred in most cases while fair grades were off $3.00 to $9.00. Low and common quality leaf and low lugs dropped $5.00 to $11.00. The largest losses were recorded for low orange pri mings and best thin nondescript which saeeed $20.00 and $16.75 re spectively, under the previous year's onenins. Chief difference in the offerings as compared with first sales in VJ 48 was the great increase in the pro portion of leaf while there was a correspondingly smaller percentage of cutters and lugs. Although the crop as a whole is reported to con tain more lemon Colored tobacco than last year, there was less on opening day. The ratio of green marketings decreased whereas there vas more orange. Fair to fine lugs and low and fair leaf predom inated sales. Praptirallv all warehouses were filled to capacity and volume was (he greatest in many years. Tt was estimated that 8 to 12'f of the offerings were received by the Flue-cured Stabilization Cor poration under the Government loan program. This was a larger percentage than on opening day last year. Only one grade avcrasea below the loan rate - choice lemon lugs. Estimated general averages on several individual markets ranged from $45.00 to $50.00 a hundred pounds. Last year on opening day gross sales for the belt totaled 8, 763,151 pounds averaging $53.20.
