and forward delivery.
With regard to the tobacco trade, the following
remarks are from Messrs. Grant, Hodgson, and
Co.'s monthly circular :—" The market has con-
tinued to present a very firm character, and the
principal transactions have been at extreme quota-
tions ; in some instances, for particular descriptions
a fractional advance 'has been submitted to ; busi-
ness may be described as more active than the pre
'nous month, and resulting in sales of 1,936 hhds.,
viz., 70 hhds. Virginia leaf, 44 hhds. and tierces
strip, 1,151 Kentucky leaf, 450 strips, and 221
hhds. of Maryland ; " substitutes" have also com-
mended a ready sale, and considerable parcels have
been taken at very full prices, and for some sorts,
at an advance on last month's quotations. Latest
adlices from Kentucky give an estimate of the crop,
at about two-thirds of that of last year; a very
active demand existed, and any parcels offering
Were freely taken at extreme rates. No reliable
estimate has yet been received of the probable make
of strips.
