FOBACCO.-We are stIll unable to re- port any change in our Tobacco market. Although number of boats have since our last review arrived from the Ohio and Cum berland Rivers, they have brought no acces- sion to the limited and poorly assorted stock on sale, and there IS consequently still no inducement to buyers to enter the market We have heard of only one sale worthy of notice within the last three davs-a lot of 60 hhds s.Admitted rates within the range of our former quotations, which we retain, say: Inferior 25c, Common 21 a 344, Fair 3f 4, Choice > 6c, per ID.
 sUGAR.-Durng the last three days the demand for Sugars have continued without much variation, but prices have barely been sustained. The fleet of arrivals from the upper rivers led 10 antlcipaaons of heavy business yesterday, which were not, hoW ever, realized. Sales amounted 10 450 hhds, ranging from 1 a 6 cts with few lots of extra prime at d fraction higher. There Is now a full stock on sale, and Western pur- ehasefs have aa opportunity of making their selections 10 the best advantage and at rates from which a decline cannot be expected until much larger quantities are sent into the market then are now coming forward. Sales of the last three days, 990 hhds. We have heard of TO sales on plantation since the 100 hhds, al 5c, we noticed yesterday.
 MOLASsES.-Th transactions since our last report comprise l50 bbls, included 500 yesterday, which went of at 2l 224i cts. Sales al the former figures were made during the early part of the day, but owing to d brisk demand and a very limited supply, holG- CTS were soon enabled to advance their rates to ?, at which the principal transactions were made. Had there been large stock on the Levee, the sales would probably havc reached I500 or 2000 bbls, but in this case the advance which occurred would not prob ably have been realized
 FLOUR.-Our last report noted sales of Flour al , D. On Saturday the only impor- tant transaction was at 5 l0 On Monday, in consequence of the storm, nothing was done, and yesterday, with, large stock on hand, and heavy receipts, hollels were pre- pared lo give way considerably, particularly for lots ahoat oron the i4evee. But purchasers could not be induced to come forward unless at reduction to 75, which did not appear to be warranted by the Eastern markels-- There were many causes uniting to produce this backwardness, The pressure in the Money market rendering it extremely difficult to negotiate Exchange, the anticipation that the receipts would be SO heavy as to create a glut. and that holders would be compelled lo realize, 10 protect themselves against short sight drafts drawn upon shipments, all con cured 10 keep buyers out of the market. On the other hand holders were unwilling to give way much below 5 60, with the New ' orlI market at 75, and the impression that navigation in the Ohio would again be ob- structed early in February. Nothing scarce ly was therefore done, and the market closed in an unsettled state. We remarked during the day the following sales: 800 bbls Mis- souri, equal to St. Louis; at , 50, 200 St. Louis al %, and l50 Ohio at 4S7 , %. l729 bbIs, considerably damaged, were sold on the Levee by order of the Port Warden, of which 100 brought 2 85 aad the balance 6.
 CORN.-1'he principal sales since our last report have been in the ear, and equal to about 50c in sacks. Yesterday the tfansac- tions were limiled 200 sacks, in bad ship ping order, brought 48c, 400 sacks, White, sold al 5l, and some other small lots went off at 45 40. At the close of business, prices continued 10 exhibit a downward tendency.
