The Louis Price Current III reviewing
the ST. Louis market for last week, says:
TosAcco--The receipts since our last
have been unimportant, and the sales at the
warehouses have consequently been small.
The sales comprise about 80 hhds at public
and private satisfactory Tugs ranging from
$5 to $5 20; planters Tugs from So 25 10
IS 10; second shipping leaf from 50 70 to
So rs; frsts shipping from 81 to So; and
manufacturing leaf from So 10 $l5 60 p
100 lbs. Several hhds. shipping Tugs and
leaf were taken by manufacturers at prices
above the quotations. All qualities are in
good demand, and particularly manufactur-
ing leaf. In manufactured there is fair
business being at about previous prices.
HEMP-The receipts since our last date
consisting mostly Of good and prime qualities
having been inadequate to the demand for
the supply of Ohio river orders, and city
manufacturers, the market has been buoyant
and ruled higher-and until yesterday the
supply received this week and one or two
lots from store, comprising some 300 bales,
were taken at the following rates. say COM
mon and fair at $S5@90, good and prime
from $90(9$l00 70 ton. Yesterday, with
only some 250 bales on the landing, the mar
ket was dull as the orders in the hands Of
purchasers were limited TO $95 % ton, for
prime undressed, and the sales reported
when we left the Levee, were 80 bales prime
at 1896, and 20 at $97 e ton. Of dressed,
some 60 bales were sold in the beginning
Of the week at $l45, and yesterday 81 bales
at $40 ~ ton. The stock in the ware

FRoUR-At our last date country super
fine was held at So SOFAS rs; and city at
SO; country extra at So 25@6 80; and fan
cy brands at So 75@$lO; and city extra at
$ll@ll so u Dbl. These prices were
fully realized at the close of last week, and
the beginning of the present, but opera
tion were mostly on limited, the only large
sale being that of 1000 bbls city superfne,
on Tuesday. deliverable in all this month at
SO 80 y Dbl. For two days past the mar
ket has been inactive with no shipping or
speculative inquiry, and the sales OF 30 tc
100 bbls superfne lots have been at rather
easier terms, say country at So SOFAS So;
and city at So 5000; and for large lots
$S rs were the best offers. Extra is sus.
tanned, but the business of the week la.
been on very limited scale, say country al
SO 25@9 30; and fancy family brands al
$40 25@l0 80; city extra at $ll@ll so
Fagin's fancy brands at $l2 " bpl.
Wharf.-The receipts have been large
but fully one-half thereof, had been pur,
chased to arrive, and the supply on the mar.
ket has consequently been moderate durin,
the week. At the close Of last week, ant
the beginning of the present, the demamc
was active, and prices were fully sustained
at the quotations Of our last date, but witt
freer receipts since, the market for tw,
days past has been heavy and dropping, par
ticularly for common and medium qualities
and yesterday the price for these latter des
eriptions ruled considerably lower. The
sales yesterday embraced some 900 bags
being about one-half of the amount offered
and quotations ranged as follows: say 70,
good spring 81 GOAL 621; spring and fall
mixed, from 81 65 to 81 rs; fair and goot
fall from ST. 80 to 81; prime from So 10 VI,
So 20; choice from 81 25 to So 80 70 bush
The better qualities being comparativel,
scarce, and in more demand by the city mil
lers for their extra brands of flour, il will b,
seen, rule at much higher relative price,
than the medium and lower grades.
