TOBACCO.-Ihcrc has been very lair demand
since our last report for all good lots both Of Mary
land and Ohio, and sales Of such effected almost
as soon as sampled and at full prices. The enquiry
has recently also, become rather better for the lower
qualities OF Maryland, and sales have been made at

There is little nothing doing in ordinary Ohio but
the most salcablc descriptions are composed Of mid
ding TO fine reds at Ia : 10 per 100 lbs; although
there have been few transactions at prices both
lower and higher than these quotations. The re
c,pts of Ohio have been more than ordinarily large
during the week, and they will probably continue
to forward freely, for few weeks longer, as IS
usual at this Of the year. The inspections OF

WOOL.-Thc market is only moderately supplied:
and most of the parcels which are generally small
and composed of common and blood, arc picked up
they in at 27d3O cts per lb., for fleece and
tub washcd-at this latter price lot OF 1900 lbs,
the largest reported, has been taken.
FRElGiiIS.-Wc have no new European en-
gagcments to report, and those Coastwisc are very
firm owing to the scarcity of vessels, which are
much wanted well as for the West Indies.
BEEF CAT'rLE.-The offerings at the drove
yards last Monday were only 600 head, less by over
on" half than the number brought forward the pre-
yious corresponding days of this number 400 were
taken by city butchers and packers, lO2 driven East
wurdly, and 31 were left on droycrs' hands. The
prin $ paid ranged from to S2.S1s. gross, cquiva-
lent to las % per 100 lbs, net. Live Hogs have
become less plenty, and prices frmcr, and although
few Of inferior quality were met with at sou, the
principal transactions were at 81.
