to sCree on he conditions while in Others the particulars
have not trsnspired and the movement has consequently
been greater than would be indicated by the amount ac-
tually reported. Authing Of any moment has been done
IN tobacco, which , held with continued frmness, and
the sales Of wester produce have been mostly confined
to the supply Of s@ local trade for city consumption.
