We trust that this statement will satisfy our North
Carolina friends well as those growers of tobacco
aope the line of the Danvile road that this is their
best market for good tobacco suitable for manutac-
turing purposes Ia not perhaps known TO them
that merchants in Richmond sell their tobacco in
this market at premium. But II few d1ys ago gen
tleman of this city ought tobacco IN Richmond aud
paid an advance Of $40 per hogshead upon it. The
very fact that the demand here for good tobacco is
always greater than the supply that it eth be nspec
ted and sold the day after its arrival aud nj better
price than can be procured elsewhere, should insure
a pro perous trade here-aud we think it will Let
producers who should be the qai for the best
market look to their interest
By an nadvertance which we are assured will not
again occur were not until yesterday supplied
with the proceedings fthe Council, which we pub
lish to-day.
