GREEN FRUIT.—The market continues bare of all
kinds, contrary winds preventing arrivals. Oranges of
all kinds are wanted, and the demand, will continue until
Christmas. Lemons are in one hand; 500 cases Messina,
sold by Keeling and Hunt, at public sale, sustained the
price obtained last week. Grapes of all kinds dull. Spa-
nish Nuts and Chesnuts in demand. The advanced
figure required for Barcelona has checked the sale.
Some extensive arrivals of Brazil have depressed the
market.

TOBACCO.—In the early part of last month several
sales were cffected•of Western Strips, at a slight reduc-
tion from present quotations, by parties either deter-
mined to sell or unable to hold their speculative pur-
chases. Several small parcels have be2n cleared off the
market, the principal holders of both old and new im-
ports have subsequently refused to make further conces-
sions, and proposals, within the last few days, for quan-
tities to some extent have been declined, and the
downward tendency arrested. In other descriptions the
market has not exhibited any marked change, and tran-
sactions have been of a limited character. Some small
lots were taken for Ireland and Scotland, and about 200
hhds for exportation. Several inquiries have been made for
common and ordinary sorts, but at prices which holders
would not accede to. Stock may now be considered com-
paratively bare, of very low quality. The French Go-
vernment has issued the notice for its contract. The
imports have been 727 deliveries, 1,242 hhds, against
1,148 hhds in the corresponding period of last year.
The stock is 23,010 hhds, against 26,671 hhds in 1850.
