and very little business doing, but yesterday and to.day there being
a better inquiry. the market closes with a firmer appearance, at last

and 114 for exportation, leaving 378 hhds for the home-trade.
Prices of stemmed have given way, but leaf, being scarce, fully
supports previous rates. The stock is now much reduced, and there
is no prospect of any further importation for some mouths.
More activity has been observable in the market for Brimstone
than for some time past, in consequence of news having been re-
ceived from Naples, of the determination of the King to support
the privileges granted to the French Company, which will, at any
rate, lead to the protraction of the settlement of this question.
The sales of the week have been about 300 tons, at stiffer prices.
