Missouri Tobdcco-Hjgh Prices.

| Our friend, j. r. Bridges formerly of Rich
mond, now of ST. Louis, sends lis the following
article from the St. Louis Republican of the 18th
alt, giving an account of the sales of Tobacco
at the Planters Warehouse in that city, on what
| is there known as premium day. 1t will be seen
that st. Louis beats the late Lynchburg sale of a
| parcel at Sb5025; but, it would be easy, we pre-
sumo, to show that the average Virginia prices
for shipping and manufacturing are better than
the average prices of the % hogsheads offered at
| st. Louis FOR premiums. Thus we observe that
amongst Sd hogsheads sold by one house in
Richmond On. M. Martin & Co.. during the
week ending Friday last. 90 brought an average
| of $l0.49 per 100 lbs, the prices ranging from
1925 to Sl6.25. When it is considered that
there was no extraordinary stimulus in these
sales, as there was at the premium sales in st.
Louis, it must be acknowledged that the Virginia
markets still maintain their superiority.
