The United States and North Carolina Departments of Agriculture report practically all grades ranged from $1 tof $17 below averages estab lished during the first week of sales last year. The general aver age was $43.34 per hundred—$9.02 under that paid during the same period in 1946. The chief reason for this lower average was the de | clines in averages by grades. Another main factor in this week’s marketing was the large amount of tobacco delivered to the Flue-Cured Tobacco Cooperative Stabilization corporation. Re ceipts were estimated at 18.5 per cent of sales. Loans were avail able last season but prevailing prices were considerably above the advance and deliveries were negligible. This year much in terest was manifested by the growers and most eligible produc ers have taken advantage of the support program; The majority of the grades turned over to the stabilization corporation were top | cutters and lugs and a few of the lower lugs. Other grades ranged from $1 to $8 over the Commodity Credit corporation support level. Most leaf and medium lug and Priming grades were around $5 ab°ve the loan rates. News of Eno By Mrs. 8. H.
