ST. LOUIS MARKET.

fTOul the 1TlCe SuTrent, ZOll'
ToBAcco--Good manufac turing leaf is in de-
mand, but the receipts have consisted of undesira
bic qualities Tugs and seconds, which were bid on
at rates, that offered criterion,by which TO judge
of tlic market. This day one week ago, some Ii
hhds-a nondescript mixed lots oflugs and seconds
were offered and bid off at prices ranging from
ST is to So 80 q 100 ms, subsequently hhds new
lugs were sold at$4 956$5. Yesterday 10 hhds
new green and frosted Tugs, were offered, but the
bids for them, ranging from So SO to 81 25 u 100
| ibs, were all rejected.
| In manufactured tobacco, we hear Of no sales
wcrth reporting. The demand is inactive and is
confined to the limited wants OF The regar trade.
HEMP--The receipts Of 2100 TO 1900 bales early
| in the weeE--the wet weather and great difficulty
Of shipping has operated unfayorably 10 holders,
and the price has consequently ranged from two to
three dollars u ton lower than last week. On
Monday and Tuesday nothing was done in the ar.
ticle on account Of the wet weather. On Wednes-
day and Thursday, holders being obliged to re-
move their stock from the landing, submitted to
the concession demanded, and the sales made,
reached nearly 900 baes-including prime and
and choice 1T s1i0@S1i2; fair and good from sl32
| TO $13S p ton. The demand for prime and choice
is steady and under The unfavorable circumstances
attending the market, the price has been well sus-
tanned. The medium grades, however, were hea-
Wy, and as will be preceived, the price ruled at a
wide range below that Of prime. As there is but
| little inquiry for the lower and medium qualities,
the same il not greater diffe renee will probably
continue in the range of the market during this
season.
WHEAT-A large part of the receipts continue
TO be delivered on contracts, and in the past week
there has been very limited supply upon the mar
ket. With an increased demand by city millers
buyers from the Ohio, the market gradually i'm
proved in the early part of the week, and the Pa
cific's news caused an advance of two or three
cents u bushel. Up TO Thursday evening, the
sales from the landing were confined to some 700C
or 5000 bags, and on Thursday, $4,000 bushels
good red were contracted for by city miller,
the greater part to arrive, at 81 90 e bushe. The
sales Yesterday embraced abont 5000 bags, iuclu.
ding prime and choice red, at 81 22@l %, same
descriptions of white, from 81 % "a 81 81 or go
