ST. LOUIS MARKET.
From the Price Current. Sc

CITY HleTCHalllS arc receiving nCaNy STOCKS OF goods
for the fall trade, but few country dealers have yet
visited our city and trade is yet stagnant. Our
wholesale grocers are doing fair amount Of bus
mess and would do more were the rivers above in |
better navigabe condition, and were frcights low
or. In the produce market there is but little do
ing, as receipts small, and business is confined
chiefly to supplying orders and city trade, nor
can we hope for much improvement until thers is
a better stage Of water IN the rivers AT present
they are all very low, and still falling; rates of
freight are consequently tending upward.
ToRAcco-The market continues steady and
quiet, with good demand for all descriptions at
full last weeks quotations, which we again re-
sume--say factory Tugs from 81 % 10 81 80; plan
tiers shipping Tugs from 81 80 to 81 5O--manufac-

sum up nearly 1000 bales--taken for the supply
OF city and western manufacturers and eastern

perceptbly mproved--common having ranged at
Sl1s@Sl2o; fair al S1230Sl25; prime at S13o;
choice at $132@S153, and dressed at sls5@$l95
u ton The stock in store and on the landing at
the close is estimated at $500 bales. The recent
losses Of this staple by fire. has given confidence to
holders, who are holding the prime qualities Of
their stocks, now N store, entirely out of the mar
ket.

last date, and the market has been better supplied,
r though part of the receipts went directly TO the

steadily maintained, and in the past day two It
has ranged If anything shade better and at close
the supplies had all been taken. We quote as the
