ToBAcoo-The movement in. this article during
! the week has been of limited extent Buyers on
I foreign ndlpriYate account, however, have been
looking around and some one or two triaing lots
were sold, but so far there have been no heavy
transactions. Offerings are plenty, but at prices SO
Isnuch below the views of Factors that they de-
clined selling. Such contradictory reports have
been received from the Tobacco country, that

FIouR The supply of this article at the open
ing of the week was fair, though not large, but
since that time receipts have been coming in quite
freely. The market opened with quite a brisk
trade, owing probably to the re-opening of bust
ness with Mobile but toward The latter part of the
week the market settled down to almost retail
trade. Prices, however, have remained firm and
unchanged throughout. The weeks sales com
prise 9540 bills, at 50 5O@9 Is fol- snperfne,

tI would be impossible to give any correct quota,
