Tobacco Prices Fluctuate Slightly Across NC VA Markets
Fluctuations marked yesterday's flue cured tobacco sales in North Carolina and Virginia with light volume. The Star Warehouse in Wendell NC reported a pickup in weekly sales while the Flue Cured Stabilization Corp. cancelled a price support contract for a discount variety. Curtis A Walker said daily sales ran about 30 000 pounds at 41 to 42 dollars per hundredweight, mainly bought by speculators and the American Tobacco Co. The USDA asked for detailed daily reports to monitor speculator activity. Hobgood's Warehouse in Carthage, leased to Jack Neal, will be dropped from price support starting today. Virginia North Carolina Old Blot markets held steady to slightly higher amid light volume and improved quality. Eastern Belt NC reported steady prices with better quality, while Middle Belt NC showed weaker demand and fluctuating prices.
