NEW ORLEANS MARKET, May 10.

ToBACCo-There has been but moderate bust
ness done in the tobacco market since our report
Of Wednesday last, and we have only been able
TO learn of sales to the extent of about 500 hhds
There is fair inquiry, however, particularly for
fresh arrivals of the new crop, and q larger bust
ness will probably be done soon as the receipts
are more generally sampled this process having
been retarded by the rainy weather in the early
part Of the week. The demand, as for some time
past continues to be confined almost entirely to
the light leay descriptions of the crop, the old
tobaccos particularly the dark rich qualities, be-
ing almost wholly neglected, or only saleable at
such reduced rates as holders are unwilling to
submit to. Prices range about the same as pre-
viously, and we continue to quote for inferior
e25, common % 3, fair 81 4, fine Ala 5,
choice 81 6, segar leaf % II cents per Id.
FLouR.-The flour market still remains in a
very inactive state, there being no demand for
shipment except an occasional lot of few hun
dred barrels for the West Indies and ports in the
Gulf The stock, however though not large, is
ample for the demand, and prices remain about the
same as before quoed-say for Ohio So 80 4,
the latter being the prevailing price for fresh lots
in fatboats; common Illinois and Missouri country
brands are neglected, and may occasionally be
bought at about So so So, while favorite ba-
kers' brands range from 81 10 81 90 per barrel,
the latter rate for choice st. Louis city Mills.
PoRK.-We are without any change to notice
in the market for barrel pork since our report Of
Wednesday last. The market must still be repre-
scented as very inactive, the sales being mainly
confined to limited parcels for plantation orders,
ship stores, &C., and no export demand of conse-
quence can reasonably be looked for in the present
relative positions of our own and other markets
The prices which prevail in the current transac-
tions are the same as before--say for mess 1913 rs
a IA, ID. o. Sl3 25 $l3 so, prime Sll rs
Sl2 per bbl We also notice sale of 80 bbs. of
prime, Louisville packed, for the English market
at $l2.
BAcoN.--Thsre appears to be little more in
curry for Sides and Shoulders. but Hams, partic-
ularly the sugar cured, are still dull. In regard to
prices they are about the same as before, though
we may remark that nearly all the sales of prime
lots, to which the demand is mostly confined, a re
at our highest figures. We quote for uncanvassed
Hams 6a a 7 cents, canvass do and extra cured
ia 10, Sides 6a 7, Shoulders 5 a 81 cents per
pound. Sales of country packed and Of lots in
bulk are occasionally made at a fraction below
these figures. Arrived during the past three days
254 casks.
Observation-Disclosures return of favorable
weather the corn market still remains in dull and
heavy state, as there is very little demand for ship
inent and buyers on speculation, who have mainly
supported the market, do not seem disposed to
come forward at present. As regards prices they
remain about the sane as before. and the range,
according to quality, is 80 30 cents per bushel
for White, and SO 81 for Yellow, in sacks.
Corn in the ear, so 30 cents per BARREL accord
ing to quality, &c. Oats have further advanced
and may now be quoted at 80 80 cents per bushel
in sacks; and 81 80 in bulk. We have no sales Of
Wheat to notice. Arrived during the past three
days 1904 bbls and 4lSS sacks corn, 1925 bbls.
and sacks Oats.
HEmP.-There is an active demand for good lots
Of Western dew-rotted, clean and of bright color,
and for this description advanced rates have been
obtained. We notice sales of 60 bales at $50 60,
at $s3, 100 at SS4 so; l04 at $S5 so and 40 bales,
very superior, at 800 per ton. There are several
parcels of mixed quality and dark color and they
do not appear to meet with purchasers.
