Notwithstanding unfavorabIe weather during q
portion of the time since our last report there has
been very fair amount of business transacted in
several departments of the market.

our review of last Saturday morning amount to
about go hhds, and the market continues TO main
tain pretty much the same character previously,

quality, leaving lots and I'D crop tobaccos
much neglected. Buyers seem more disposed to
operate, now that there is larger and better as.
sorted stock the market than at any time before

the full rates which holders demand, and at which
they continue to exhibit great frmness. In fact
the sales of fair to choice lots are fully up to the
rates before quoted, which we again continuously
