CoTToN-There is nothing doing except some
small lots to the factories at III a 12c. for good to
strictly prime.
ToBAcoo.-The past week has been one of con>
siderable activity in this article, alth ough at lower
prices than at the date of our last report, except
for the fine shipping and manufacturing grades.
The sales have been about 600 hhds. the past week
at prices about I to ST per hundred lower on the
medium grades of leaf, while fine shipping and
manufacturing kinds have been fully maintained.
The receipts continue quite large for the season
and many suppose the present crop will reach that
of last year. The growing crop is also represen-
ted as very fine. This, with the gloomy accounts
the manufacturers have from the northern markets
for their goods, depresses prices of the raw mate
rial. Our quotations at the close are 4 to 4 IS for
common to fair Jugs; good S to 6; common leaf
g rs to 6 rs; good 7 to s very good s so to 10 ;
fine and fancy 10 to %.
