PETERSBURG, VA.
CorroN.-The demand has been active during
the week for prime grades, but inferior and me,
dunn qualities, have been in very limited demand,
and such grades are very dull and nominal. We
note sales this week of som 600 bales at
basis of 12s for prime. Strict selections are held
firmly at 122 at which but few sales have been
made. The stock here is much reduced, particu-
larly the finer grades. Receipts only moderate
for the season.
ToBAcGo-As the season advances the receipts
increase and the breaks are now quite full, avera-
ging about 40 bales daily. We are pleased to
see an active demand for all descriptions at very
good prices. We note some of the better quality
arriving the past few days, which find ready buy
ers at i04 to i23. One fine hid. from Granville
was sold at 154, which is the highest price yet
paid for a hid. Some few boxes of fancy have
brought 273 To 3O3. Planters will find it greatly
to their interest to have their tobacco put up in
dry keeping order and not to bring it to market
without being entirely satisfied of its conditi9n.-
It is also important to have your hogsheads Sca1
coopered; do not fear a few more nails and good
strong Innings. Our quotations are as follows:
common Jugs 81 to A good 5 to 81 fancy 8 to z;
common leaf II to 81: good 9 to 10; very good
and fine IL to l54. The demand is particularly

such, in good order, is selling well.
