Tobacco i'm New York.

We make the following extracts from
Messrs. Fatman & Co.'s Circular of Feb u
airy LIST, for a copy of which we are indebted
to Mr.. E. G. Van Ripper, their Louisville
Agent:
From the figures given it will be per-
ceived that the receipts during he month
1ell off l55 hogSheadS, the sales about 9Ot
and The ex pori S j, O37 hogsheads including
New Orleans; but when we consider that
in the month of January business is gen.
poorly assorted, while tie receipts of the
new crop added bl16 little OF decided chtsy-
acter. we must conclude that the moG this
business was a air average one. I. tr.. ra.
The demand for export ran mainly on
low grades for spain and the MediteFaI ca u,
Factory. Dried Tor England. and heavy
grades for the North of Europe Our job
bsrs and manufacturers took about Loco
hOgSheadS, mostly common and medium
filters for plug tobacco. We classify sales
as nearly as we can as follows, namely:
For England. 8O2 hogsheads. Fac cry Dried

We. suppose. that our. friends will be
most Interested in this months circular
in learning our views in regard to the
quality and general appearance OF the new
crop, and are, happy TO be able to report
cient TO enable us TO give an opinion 10
the crop IN general, yet, from what we can
will contain a good portion of tobacco
suitable for all purposes, and have only. to
complain that the same care as in former
fer, while we were enabled to render some
accounts of sales last month at Is, 16, and
as high as IL cents, we We're comp alled
to sell equal. Y as good toba COOS as low as
13 cents, for the reason that they were
priced TOO high, wOu d not keep, and had
fO 4 lot don
would have proved total loss. We ind
others priced mixed. with portion of
good, and another of common tobacco
mixed with LugS We cannot too strongly
recommend to those expecting good prices
to have their tobacco pr zed in good order,
well selected, and eaily handed; the
dollar a hundred, the former a difference
of from two to five dollars. a
AS regards ruling prices for the crop, we
would say that it is ct too early in the
season to form correct opin1on as to the
receipts while t e demand is too light TO
establish price, the sales during the
month being mostly to Manufacturers for
immediate u G, which class of trade does
not stablish prices; but we can say already
that Lugs, for which there exists a de-
mapd, will sell higher, as we could now
sell at from to 81 cents grades which
if we could offer them in sufficient guam
titles and sound condition.
GAINESVILLE.
The receipts of new, last month, were
less than a hundred hhds., but showed
crop; while we find the leaf not as large
as last year, the color is good, and the to-
bacco more gummy than we were led to
believe by previous reports. It's order is
generally good; but we would again
strongly urge planters to pay more atten-
ton to the selecting during prlzing as we
find some very good samples contain one
or two hands of green, unripe tobacco.
