LONDON, September l, 1868.
The tone of our market last month was
quiet, but fair business was done for the
season of the year both for home trade and
export, sales reaching about 400 hogs
heads.
OF western strips only 9 few trihing
sales were made by importers, who had Ut
tie to offer except remnants.
Of western leaf the purchases made by
the trade were limited almost entirely to
small, scattered lots Of old Missouri leaf Of
medium quality, for which holders were
glad to accept moderate, and even low prices,
averaging 41a95d.
Virginia leaf seems to offer little attrac-
ton to our trade, and although few par
cells of bright, fancy color, lately sampled,
have been placed at good prices from l0k
@l2d., there is some doubt whether these
sales can be repeated to any extent. Ken
lucky leaf of good color would be generally
preferred by our manufacturers. In dark
leaf the transactions continue to be linn
tied.
Virginia strips we're more inquired for.
A parcel of fair quality changed hands
early in the month at about l0d. round,
and selections have brought lid. in retail.
The few strips left on hand must all find
buyers before the new imports are on the
market.
Maryland and Ohio.-There is but little
here suitable to the wants Of our trade, and
only q few sales reported at about 5000.

success in the Tower Hsmlels is contested by
the Conservatives.
EThus, by a remarkable coincidence and after
an equally hard contest, the almost smulta-

Something Of sensation transplred here
yesterday in the collapse of the Southern Fire
Insurance Company. The concern was started
two years since by a few Northern men. and
by adroit management, and the sanction OF
name calculated to appeal to those living south
of Mason and Dixon's line, had extended its
business over large portion of the South
The company was on the mutual plan, and
recent call for fifty per cent. on the cash pre-
miums excited the suspicion of some OF the
stock holders, which result ed in an investIga-

fraudulent concern.
An Injunction was applied for and granted
yesterday, and the Office is now in the hands OF
q receiver. The Stockholders will lose all the
cash premiums already paid in.
