sick, aud continued very i'll during the
night. They are all somewhat better this
evening, hut are not yet considered ont OF

Others ascrbc the sickness to some black
berries which were provided for supper.

REPORT OF THE TOBACCO MARKET.
ToBACCo EXCHANGE, RICHMOND, July &c.
Our breaks continue much larger than
had been anticipated. Prices were shade
better to-day for all descriptions. No
thing fine offered; good shipping, manutac-
turing, and fancy wrappers are scarce, and
would command a good price. Below we
give the transactions: G5 hogsheads,
ticrccs and boxes opened; 80 offered at
auction; 30 sold as follows: 10 hogshcads
common working and shipping Tugs from
s4.lO to 1913; hogshcads good working
and shipping lugs from s. to s9.75; : hogs
heads common working and shipping leaf
from $40 to Sl0.7j; hogShcads medium
working and shipping leaf from sl2 to
$3.50; lG hogShcads good working and
shipping leaf from SIS to s2l hogshead
good manufacturing at $3.50. A few
hogshcals and ticrccS changed hands on
private terms.
The New York papers represent the ease
and chcapncss Of the money market to be
more conspicuous the present week than
any since the commencement OF summer.
To the stock brokers the rates were 400
per cent, and on prime and good mercan-
tile paper, 50G per cent.
The papers of Tuesday represent the
stock market "A having touched the bot
tom, and the bears as trying to get back on
that day the stocks they sold the day
before. The Times says ait is possible
that fresh combinations may he soon entered
upon TO advance some Of the New York
and western stocks" Thus it is amongst
the gambIcrs--to-lay they speculate for
fall, and the fall being accomplished, to-
morrow the same men will turn bulls, and
try to elevate tic stock their schemes de-
pressed on yesterday. They always take
their measures in advance To- profit by the
fall or the rise, rs ii may be. They do not
always succeed for there are ever, as q
matter of course, two parties to q struggle.
That which goes to the wall suffers in pro-
portion to the hazards Of the battle.
There being a sort Of lull in the game Of
European finance, and gold for export
being little in demand, and exchange low,
the spectators had turned their attention
more to domestic stocks, and there was
increased activity in railway stocks.
