NEW ORLEANS MARKET. Angus, 10.


ToBAcco.--The large transactions In tobacco
which we noticed in our last review having re.
duced the stock on sale 70 few scattering lots,
there has been only moderate business done SINCE
some $40 hhds only have changed hands. The
demand, as heretofore is almost wholly confined
to BRIGHT free, leay parcels, and to inferior lots,
leaving the medium qualities much neglected, and
saleable only when holders will submit to some
concession in prices. For Missouri Tobacco there
is still no demand at rates corresponding TO the
prices paid for other descriptions. We quote in.

Remarks-Except in the article Of wheat
we have noticed no material change in the
produce market since our last date. The
new crop of wheat has began to come in
quite literally. Tobacco, also, continues
to come forward pretty freely; but the re.
ceipts Of other descriptions Of produce
have been on a very limited scale. There
is good demand in the market for nearly
every article coming forward, and sales,
therefore, correspond to the receipts.
Tobacco-The quality Of the article Of
fered is mostly very inferior, and of course
commands low prices. The demand for all
descriptions is steady, and now and then
fine hid. is offered which brings large prices;
but there is very little strictly good or fine
coming in, which qualities are most inquired
for by shippers and manufacturers. The
range of prices are about the same as that
Of last week, in the same quality of tobac-
co. One hid. fine was sold at SO 40, and
one at Sc 80, at the Planters warehouse.
Passed ranged from 81 95 TO 4, and Refused
from 8 TO 85 per loo lbs. Sales at the
Planters warehouse 1913 hhds. and at the
State warehouse SO hhds. during the week.
Hemp-The limited receipts have consist
ed Of very small 'ots, excepting one or two
which were sent forward, and have been
sold at prices within the range Of our last
weeks figures, say from 500 TO 20 per ton.
We noticed the sale oil one lot Of 81 bales
from Levee at ST.. There have been no
sales of water rotted.
Flour-About 500 bbs have been re-
ceived since our last, about one half Of
which was sent forward. The balance con-
sisted OF very small lots, and was mostly ia
ken into store. We noticed the sale Of
one lot of 225 bbls. and two or three small
lots, at 81 for superfne, $3 ga for scratch.
ed, and So SO for fine, which we quote as
the market price. Limited sales OF city
mills flour al 81 Is a a so.
Wheat-The receipts during the week
amount to about Is, 900 bushels, nearly two
thirds of which has been sold since Mon.
day morning, the demand being confined
TO the city millers, and the supply large,
prices gave way, and still tend downward.
We quote strictly prime lots 81 zoe; good
and fair samples 69i a 65ic. Inferior al
6oc. per bushel.
Corn-We observe no change in the mar
ket. The receipts are about SUFFICIENT 10
supply the demand, but prices have been
maintained. We quote sales at SO 55c'
per bushel, including the sack, and at % a
80. sacks returned.
Oats-There is fair demand, but sale.
are not brisk, the receipts being rather or
the increase. We quote sales at Is l6c
without sack, and, at 20 Gle. inclu
ding the sack.
Hsdes-No change in prices. We quote
dry at &c. and green at SAC. per lb. and ir
demand.
Wool-This article is destined soon te
become a staple article of our Market
The lots we have noticed in the marke
have been quite ordinary, and sold from
20 to soc. per ID. There is good demant
in the market for all qualities.
Pork-There were two lots mess received
during the week, part Of which was sole
at SO per Dbl; prime we quote at So, anc
clear mess at $ll per Dbl. There is very
little doing in the article.
Fyeights-New Orleans freights are in
creasing, but are yet insufficient to caus'
many boats to enter into the trade at thi
time. Charges 10 New Orleans are as fol
