Abbeville Alabama reports a marked rise in tobacco prices across most grades today with increases from 10 to 15 cents per pound. Several large lots sold at about 75 cents a pound while averages ranged from 60 to 80 cents. All saleable tobacco was moved through the three warehouses. One cotton warehouse has been repurposed as a tobacco warehouse to handle the increased output.
