TOBAcco.—With the exception of the sale of about
200 hhda of Western strips, and a parcel of Virginia leaf,
business during the last mouth was quite of a retail cha-
racter, and sales do not possess sufficient interest to de-
serve enumerating. The market may be considered
easier, with a manifest desire on the part of importers
and holders to make concessions to buyers. It 13 no

tation, but up to the present time have not terminated
in sales to any extent. Latest accounts from Virginia
and Maryland confirm our previous intelligence rela-
tive to the growing crops. Prices in Ricbmoneland
