BALTIMORE TOBACCO TRApE.-By our report Of
the tobacco market very heavy business has been
done in Ohio tobacco within the last three weeks,
the sales reaching the large aggregate of $500
hhds. The great bulk of these purchases was made
in fulfilment Of the contract between the French
government and Messrs. Rothschild. The whole
quantity actually contracted for is about 5000
hhds, with the stipulation that the quantity may
be increased at the discretion Of the government
third more. AS the French government took
last year, and the contract this year was made
at very low figures, it is not improbable that the
excess stipulated for will be demanded The ave-
rage cost Of this article is about .orty-wo dollars
per hogshead; SO that the value of the purchases Of
Ohio tobacco, above stated, is about s 10000.
Baltimore ia the principal, indeed we may cay
the exclusive, market for nearly all the Ohio to-
bacco sent to the seaboard 1t here finds ready
sale in connexion with that raised in own State
while our laws regulating the inspection and stor.
age in the public warehouses offer inducements of
advantage not to be found elsewhere. On the
completion OF the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to
Wheeling the facilities of cheap and rapid trims
portation will doubt draw the entire crop of
the State OF Ohio to this market, together with
large quantities grown in other western States that
now find a market in New Orleans, where the eli
mate in many cases is found to be very injurious
to the quality, and the charges Of storage and in
spection are much higher than in Baltimore.

WEsrKRN CoMMUSIcAr IoN.-A direct railroad
communication between New Orleans and 81.
Louis il the latest grand scheme that has attracted
attention at the westward. The proposed plan is
Louis to Helena, Arkansas, the latter point being
come forty miles from Holly Springs; branch OF
the required length to be constructed, connecting
with point on tbe Mississppi opposite Helena.
The remainder OF the distance can be accomplished
by extension of the Southwestern Railroad from
New Orleans to Jackson, Mississippi, and thence
TO Holly Springs. BY this route, it is urged, n
saving in distance OF six hundred and fifty seven
hundred miles may be accomplished between the
two cities. The communication may be made In
two days. and the route is believed to be feasible,
particularly the road enters Missouri in the heart
Of the mineral region.
