TOBACCO.-The market has been very quiet
since last report, although it will be seen by the
inspections that receipts particularly Of Maryland,
are beginning to increase. Letters from Europe by
the steamer Caledonia since their receipt within the
last two three days, have thrown an important |
damper upon the Tobacco market, which will have |
tendency for while, in all probability, to mate
rally check operations unless the spirit of specua
ton should manifest itself by the coming forward of
daring capitalists operate at the low rates to
which they may think the article will be reduced. |
We understand that letters have been received here
by the agent for the purchase of Tobacco for the
French kegie, countermanding all further purchases;
and whatever stock he has hand, that account,
to dispose of it. Letters from Holland, also, recon-
mend great caution, particularly In making ship |
ments and advise particularly that they be made in
American vessels; and that every possible contn-
gcncy be provided for in the policy of insurance.
The Inspections for the week were as follow Mary
land, 400 hhds.; Ohio, Sd Virginia. 5; Kentucky,
total, 475 hhds. The Exports TO foreign ports,
within the same time, have amounted to 622 hhds, |
