FIRST BREAK OF TOBACCO.-The first break
of any consequence for some months past, took
place this morning. and we are pleased to say
the prices obtained were much more satisfac-
tory than we generally anticipated. The bid
ding was quite spirited, and for all kinds in
order, and of weight, very fair prices were OBJ
tanned. Some fair to fine English shipping
brought from SIN to 251. No good or fine
manufacturing was offered. Lugs ranged
from SAY to S6H; poor leat, out of order, SIS \
to Sc \: Middling leaf, also ont oforder, at from
81 to 50. We think the opening of prices In our
market will compare favorably with any other
market in the State. And as it is expected that
the Southern Railroad will soon be opened to
the city, we hope to see the receipts SUN cient
to give us regular daily sales. Very good and
fine Manufacturing Leaf could be readily sold
at full prices.-Petersburg Express, 18th.
