Tobacco Price Rise
Is Believed Unlikely

Prospects of prices going up today
on the three loose-aeaf tobacco
auction markets at Upper Marlboro
appeared slight as result of con-
ttnued failure Of buyers and grow
ers to agree.
Sales still were lighter than usual
yesterday with little change antici-
pated today, tobacco warehouse
men reported.
Approximately 100000 pounds
were sold on the three markets,
compared to about 100000 pounds
normal for this time of year, a
spokesman said.
Only change noted from last
week was lowering of bottom
levels from 10 to cents a 100
pounds, causing the general average
for sales to drop also.
One warehouse, Edelen Brothers.
sold $4,000 pounds at a slightly
better than Ascent average. The
price level there was from 5 to
63 cents per 100 pounds.
The Marlboro Tobacco Market re-
ported sale of 62,488 pounds to
buyers from cigarette and cigar
manufacturing companies at 40 to
SO cent average, with prices rang
ing from 10 to 81 cents. Planters
Tobacco Market sold $4,000 pounds
at a 501s-cent average. Prices here
ranged from to 81 cents.
Company spokesmen said growers
still were not bringing the better
grades Of tobacco to market, hop
ing prices would go up. This years
crop, one of the largest In South
ern Maryland history, was expected
to bring considerably higher prices
than offered so far.
