TALLow.—P.Y.C. is as to 388 6d per owt on the spot,

TEA.—The market is firm, and the deliveries are good.
TOBACCO.—The market for American during the last
month, as in the preceding one, has continued active, and
a lair extent of sales has been effected, principally of
home descriptions, at firea, aed in some instances, at im-
proved prices. The larger amount of business has been
done in old imports, and sales of all sorts may be sad-
mated at 1,570 hhds, which have consisted of 140 hhds
of Virginia Leaf, 200 hh(ei Strips, 210 Wads Kentucky
and Mieaouri Leaf, and 1,010 hhds of Strips, and a few
hhds of Maryland. We confirm our previous statement,
that the present importation of Kentucky Stripe,
although possessing generally more colour than the last,
will be found very deficient in substance, and much in-
ferior in oue essential quality. Advices received on
the 30th ultimo, from America, have brought im-
proved prices, and a good business doing ; the pre-
sent Kentucky crop is estimated at 10,000 to 15,000
hhds more than the last; but this increase it was pre-
sumed would have no effect on prospective prices, owing
to the greatly reduced stock of old. Imports, 903 hhds;
stock, 25,005 hhds against 28,950 hhds in 1848. In
Virginia sales have been (with the exception of a few
hhds), for home consumption, at firm prices; Leaf at
41d to Sid, and Strips at 41d to 6id. In Kentucky Leaf
and Strips, although buyers have reluctantly submitted
to recent advanced rates, and in some instances have
contracted their purchases, considerable sales have
been effected, chiefly in old Strips of good and middling
descriptions, which are relatively cheaper than the new;
some oaks have been made of the latter at Td to Id.
and holders appear firm at these prices. Ia Maryland
sake were limited at 5d to 10d. In llayannah Leaf
a good business has been transacted, both for home
trade and exportation, and scarcely anything remains
in the market. Recent advice, have been received,
which represent the crop as having suffered injury from
heavy rains. Ilavannah Segars have been in fair re-
quest, at steady prices. Stock in the market, of eligible
sorts, is very limited. In Manilla Cheroots there has
been less doing. In Manilla Leaf demand has been ac-
tive, and sales effected of 300 bales for exportation, at
full prices. Yard and Cuba have continued in good re-
quest. Brazil stock exhausted of good and fine
sorts. llavannah Seed Leaf end Florida, sales
(fleeted of all eh sirable qualities at full rates.
In Porto Rico very little done. Stock nearly bare of
suitable descriptions. German has been in rather leas
demand, but prices for good and fine have been fully
supported. In Columbian, Ambalema, and Giron sales
have been made to a fair extent at full prices, and for
line quality at a slight advance. Continental demand
has induced large shipments. Amersfoort—A few cases
for segar purposes were taken in at impro►ed prices. In
Negro Head and Cavendish sales have been made of good
and fine sorts at a slight advance. Stalks were in good
demand.
