and buyers were willing to take at that price.
GRAIN-Hheat.-Th receipt of the foreign
news this morning, showing decline in breadstufs
in the English market, had the effect of depressing

also operates unfavorably. wide difference in the

ToDAcco.-There is continuance of the de-
mand for Maryland Tobacco noticed for some
weeks past but there is no stock on hand and the
receipts consist mainly of new crop Ground Leaf,
the leaves of which are short and thick, and are
not very desirable. Good qualities wanted,
but come forward very slowly. The sales of
Ground Leaf at S. 25as6 so for ordinary to
fair lots, and 81 so for extra but the proportion
Of the former so far predominates that the
is not more than IS IS. The small receipts of
Maryland crop Tobacco enable holders to obtain
little higher rates than before, especially from
those shippers who have engaged freights. We
make no change, however, in the quoted rates,
