Anothei i esolution called for pro

spirited.
Warehouse floor speculation .n
d cates that the crop as .1 whole
will not grade as high as the 19.76
crop. I'his durk' of the growing
season, however, is offset by a
$2 50 hnher average support price
this year.
Higher Supports
The 1957 crop support price

us against a 3(5.1 cents per pound
rate last year. A difference of

A characteristic of the lust

the smallness of the made piles.
Cf i o w rrs and warehousemen
meed that he indicative of a
lower weight crop this year.
Tobacco cut after the ranis
broke the drought has lost some
of its weight in the curing process,
farmers report. Where farms wa re
hard hit by drought, considerable
of their first day offerings were
on the "snuffy" side quality-wise.
This may work to hold prices on
lower quality grades higher, how
ever.
