ST. LOUIS MARKET.
From the Price Current, 9Th.

ToBAcco.-The receipts have mostly gone for
ward, and the business Of the market has been on
the usual limited scaethe entire sales of the past
week embracing only 95 hhds. Lugs continue
steady and unchanged-factory ranging from
S4,2O@ ,35, and planters from 81, 356S4,5O q
100 ID. Shipping leaf has improved 25@5oc. q 100
b 4; seconds ranging from s4,65@s5,5O and frsts
from $5,75@S6,50. Manufacturing descriptions
are very scarce, and the price has ranged from
5oc@ so q 100 ID higher. according TO quality,
though we make but little change in the limits
heretofore given-now quoting common and fine
from S650@$l5 p 100 ID. or the sales at the
warehouses, few hcgsheads consisted of trash
not worth reporting 9s hhds ranged from s4,2O@
$3.50; 50 from SI,55@ $780, 10 from s5,55@
$3.50; from ss,55as6,95; u from S7@s7,5 I;
2 at $s,1o@$s IS and l at s1l so p 100 lbs.
In manufactured tobacco we hear OF no sale
worth noticing and continue TO quote country very
dull and prices nominal.
HEMP.-The market continues very dull and
feeble, with steady moderate receipts and small
sales, the aggregate business of the week amount
ing TO only 220 bales, including prime and choice
at $13O@$l35, and one lot fancy at S14O common
and fair at Sl15@S120 p ton. At close, as no
shipment could be made TO the Ohio, the tendency
OF the market was in favor of buyers, and prime
and choice hemp could not have been sold except
in very limited way above s125@$130 p ton.
Dressed hemp is held from S170@Sl90 p ton, as in
quality, but not sale has transpred during the
week. The stock in the warehouses and on the
landing was estimated last evening at 16, 500 bales
BALE RoPE.-The last sale was reported in our
last number at nc u ID for No. l. and Sc for fan
cy half coils-nothing having transpired since.
LEAD.-Demand being confined to city manu-.
factnrers, the market is dull and the only sales re-
ported during the week were 800 pigs Galena at
1921, and $40 pigs yesterday Goo and 4lO) at
S6,l0 q 100 b-cosing dull at the inside rate. In
Missouri lead, nothing has nothing has TRANSFERRED
FLoUR.-The receipts of country superfne are
scarcely sufficient TO supply the limited city and
coast demand, and the price is consequently well
sustained, having ruled in small way at SIS GOA
SO q Dbl. Extra is less wanted, and dull at Sc, 25
@$6.75 u Dbl. OF city mills, sales in limited
way have been at Sc for superfne, and some 1000
barrels, in lots of 500 bbls and upward were taken
on private terms-but understood TO be below sc,
and part sold after the late foreign news at So rs
or under. AT close, $3.50 would be as much as
could be realized, probably, for large lots, city or
country superfne. City extra may be quoted from
S6,75@S7 u Dbl
WHARF.-The receipts in the opening of the
week more liberal, caused dull and languid mar
ket, but the supplies of the past three days have
been very small, and the market, though inactive,
has assumed frner tone. The current quotations
of the week have been as follows: say for prime
and choice red si@Sl,O 5; same descriptions of
white 81 ,o5@$i 10, fair and good fall from 600
96c spring from 75@s5c and mixed from 500
9Oc % per BUSH, as in quality. The fine qualities
are in better demand than the lower grades, and
sell relatively at better prices.
CoRN.-The receipts have been much more H.
beral than any other grain, and the week opened
with a large supply on the landing, which,
caused heavy market and decline in price. In
the early part of the week quotations were for
sound mixed 32@35; yellow 3s@37, and white
from 3s@42c p bushel, in secondhand and new
bags. The supplies have fallen off in the past three
days, the market has recovered, and the current
rates on Thursday and yesterday were as follows
say for sound mixed 35@3Sc yellow 37@140c, and
white 4O0143c p bushel, including secondhand
and new bags. The business Of the week has en-
braced the greater part of the receiptspart heing
for reshipment.
