PREMIUM SALE OF TOBACCO.
THE BREAK AT THE STATE WAREHOUSE

THE BREAK AT THE STATE WAREHOUSE.
The custom which, for several years, has
so generally obtained in the leading tobacco
marts of the United States, of procuring an
annual reunion oi growers and dealers, was
inaugurated for this city and season yester-
day al the State Warehouse. Such course
has been ascertained by experience 10 be
the best that could be adopted for stimulat-
ing and facilitating the business operations
of both classes. Nowhere, we are glad 10
say, has this idea been SO practically and
effectively recognized as in ST. Louis. A
very few seasons had passed when these
yearly meetings, and the incidents attending
them. grew 10 4 magnitude which put orr
market ahead of ali others in The particular
matter OF which we write. A constantly
/ increasing interest in them has been mani
Tested until higher prices, larger audiences,
more numerous entries. and mere spirited
competition, have marked these prize sales
as invariably as they have come off. Ii re-
markable one year, they have been found t,
be more so the next. The premium day
Of 1857 was sometning TO boast of, but that
of 1853 was greater; and so on, more bid
ders, a keener competition, and better
tobacco, have been the rule from
the very installation Of the custom here
up 10 the present time. Tha, yester.
days sale should have brought heavier
prices than on premium day in 1858, now
that tobacco sold in the ordinary way is
lower than il has been FOR years, and very
considerably cheaper than il was then, is
not very easy 10 believe. The fact is shown,
nevertheless, in the list published below
This certainly evinces the existence of a
rank spirit OF enterprise among our planters
and purchasers, and one calculated TO do
great good 10 the tobacco interests of the
State
