NEW ORLEANS Market 1pnn q

Again we have to notice an extremely dull mar
ket, AMI one presenting so little change, that we
are scarcely called upon TO make any remarks in
addition to those published on Wednesday last.
Receipts continue light, outstanding our stocks
OF western Produce very good and arc in some
instances monopoiizcd 10y a few speculators who
will not give way in their demands for high prices
Within the last few days the weather has bren
very warm. Its now several weeks since we have
had sufficient showers Of rain lay the dust in the
streets, which at present is almost insufferable
COEION-The effect produced on reeeip, Of
the late European accounts on this article we have
not got over and litllo will be done until another
arrival relieves the anxiety of shippers. The sales
on Wednesday last were 900 bales; THURSDAY

North Alabama mlddIing, cts 100 Miss. fully

100 bales including SO bales good ordinary at 8!

lObAJCD-Dnrlng the early part OF the pre-
sent week, our tobacco maTket continued to present
the same aspect Of extreme dulncss that had done
for some time previously. The European account,
received on SundtY were not Of q nature to cause
buyers 70 come forward mOlc freely, most of the
markets both m England and on the continent be-
ing we'll supplied, and but n small business doing
Within the last day or two, sales to tho extent Of
or 700 hhds have been made. at prices I To "a Ct
below the rates current % or 80 days ago. Thisis
resumption q operations, but the amount Of bust.
is small compared with tho stock now on sale
(nbout 49, 900 hhds.) thnt we do not give any quo
tations, ms the bulk of the holders continue to de-
mand prices apprOvm1tng much nearer to the rates
