TOBACCO.—There was great disinclination to pur-
chase by the trade last month, and sales, in consequence,
were in most instances limited, recent events on the
Continent have seriously contracted most operations,
and export business which was previously gradually im-
proving has almost entirely ceased; prices for most de-
tcriptions have, nevertheless, been supported, and may
be considered steady. Saks may be estimated at 920
hhds ; imports, 29 hhds ; deliveries, 969 hhds, against
916 hhds in the corresponding month of 1847. Stuck,
29.548 hhds, against 30,970 hhds in 1847.
