Sweet potatoes are moving briskly from Currituck County these days. Shipments to date have aggregated 20 to 25 cars, according to Norfolk Southern officials, who predict still heavier consignments through the coming week.
Sweets are bringing $6 to $6.75 a barrel, f.o.b. Elizabeth City commission men state, and from $7 to $8 a barrel on the Northern markets. It is anticipated that the price will continue high as the crop is substantially shorter than usual this year.
