ToBACco.-The accounts from Europe continue
to represent the condition of the Tobacco markets
there as most dlscouraglng to shippers. The sales
are very small, and in some the net proceeds
of sales of common descriptions do not equal the
prime cost on this side. They appear however to
have effect our market. The demand for
the good and fine descriptions of Maryland is very
active, and former prices not only fully sustain
ed, but some choice parcels taken at little over
the rates asked last week. This may be attributed
in some measure to the low rates of freights, and
the demand from other markets for common sorts
for manufacturing. All descriptions of MARYLAND
crop Tobacco go off readily within the range of
quotations. Middling qualities from S450a7, are
most in demand. We quote Common Md. So 5Oa4 :
good common S4a4.50; brown S4aG; and fine
brown S6.50al0. The demand for Tobacco from
the upper part of Maryland is very lively and the
receipts find ready sale at rather better prices than
could be obtained last week. Indeed in some cases
a little higher rates have been given for some lots
of spangled and yellow than the same quality has
brought in this market for many years. Our quo
tations embrace the range of prices, viz Tails or
tips S4as; seconds S5aS; red SSal4 spangIed
Sl0al6; and yellow Sl5a2O. Ohio Tobacco is
also in good demand. We understand some plan
tcrs in Western Virginia have determined to send
their crops to this market direct. They will doubt
less find their advantage in doing so, as this de-
scriPtion now reaches us at second hand through
Richmond. The inspections of the week comprise
1925 hhds. Maryland; and 46l hhds. Ohio-total,

avarlcIousness of mind, which leads men to
sacrifice future rewards to present gains, in

much importance to few extra shillings or
dollars, as TO let it be the means of depri-
wing you OF good article, and substituting
IN It's stead, poor, or comparatively worth
less one. Remember that GOOD articles are
cheapest in the end. Poor purchases never
realise ones expectations, and are source

ter, with little meal in the spring, and
grass alone in summer; should be MIXED
