very limited receipts of produce. The
same disposition TO operate and the same
demand that was manifested in the opera.
tons Of last week, still continue, and it is |
only the exceedingly small stocks of pro.
duce in the market and light receipts, that
prevents active and extensive operations.
In prices we have observed scarcely any
changes.
Tobacco-We are still without any stock
IN the market, as the receipts are extremely
small, and sales OF course limited. The

Their buyer, and other lots amounting 10
about 100 bales Of fair and prime qualities.
have been sold since the commencement of
the week at 63 S65 per ton. The very
limited receipts and pressing orders, have,
we think caused prices 10 range high, and
we therefore give as the current rates Of
the market, IS Go per ton Tor prime dew
rotted; medium and fair samples, 60 S63;
and loose and inferior lots al from SO S57

NEW ORLEANS MARKET, April 19.
REMARKs.-The market generally during the
past few days has not exhibited any great degree
Of activity, and we have again to remark that the
elevation of prices to which many articles have
80 rapidly attained has tended to reduce operations
to comparatively circumscribed limits, as the rea'
tive positions of our own and other markets IN
regard to the current rates will hardly admit OF
extensive purchases that look abroad Tor reimburse
inent and profit.
The weather since our last has been very warm
with occasional showers.
The river is three feet six inches below higf
water mark and falling.
ToRAcco.--A very good enquiry has continued
TO prevail in the Tobacco market during the past
few days, but owing to the frmness of holders
who now generally claim rather higher rates thar
have been current for week or two past, the bust
ness done has not reached near to the ext ent o
the demand, which being of a general characte
includes all qualities, though, as heretofore
preference is given to the light leafy descriptions
and selections. The sales of the three days amour
20 about 1000 hhds. and although prices are very
full and in some instances above our hgures &c
fancy lots and selections, yet the main tran'ac'
lions are embraced in the general range OF gu
quotations, they are again given as follows-say
for inferior ii p, common q 3, fair 50
fine At AZ, choice u, cigar leaf y lie pc
pound. The receipts, it will be seen have iaIle
off very materially within the past few days an
the sxIec,ation that the principal sources OF sup
ply wilI~be interrupted for several weeks ny th'
low water in the Cumberland, Sc, is the main caus
of the advanced rates now claimed by holders
FLouR.--The business is mainly confined t
small lots for the consumption OF the city an
neiohborhood and the market altogether must D
