last two or three days, been bought up-ex.
cept a lot of about $50 hhds. fine quality

ToBAcco TRADE.-.Large operations
have recently taken place in New York, in
Kentucky tobacco. The New York Com.
mercial Advertiser of Saturday afternoon
the LIST inst, has the following item on the
subject:

been bought this week, chiefly by one house, at
prices ranging from AZ to SIC. If these purcha>
ses have been made for export for Spain and
France, as some pretend TO say, or for specula.
ton. will be seen by the next warehouse return,
and for that reason we have left the stock of this
kind open in the estimate below. In Phadel.
phia Boston and Baltimore likewise all the Ken.
lucky Tobacco has been bought. 1t is not likes
| ly that these purchases have been made for
Spain and France. as both Regies always pur.
chase new Tobacco, and purchasers for export
would have done bettar in New Orleans. Wheth.

Of government will set the trade and manulac.
ture OF Tobacco, Cigars. &c., free, remains to
be seen, and ii is not likely that any house would
speculate on so dim prosper. On the other
hand the purchases made are Of description
which answer only partially for home consump'
ton, the greater part consisting Of heavy ship.

500 against the parties who in ls45, un
der direction of meeting of citizens Of
Fayette county, KY, took down his aboli
ton press and removed it to Cincinnati.
" The Washington correspondent Of
the Baltimore Sun, who generally has 9
thorough knowledge of Locofoco views
and feelings, thinks that the prospect o.
the party's harmonizing in the next cleo
ton is getting darker and darker, and he
believes that matters are not very likely &c
be improved by the action of the Baltimore
Convention unless compromise candidate
shall be brought out by that body. He
thinks that Mr.. Cass will get the romina

very doubtful.
