The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1868-03-04

ToBAcco-The market since our last has been
quiet. Transactions have been restricted BY light
receipts and the inferior character ofthe majority
Of the stock on sale. The inquiry for shipment
and for the trade is fair, and with better offerings
quite brisk business could be done. Holders are
firm in their views, and prices remain firm at our
quotations, which we repeat, viz;
LIGHT.
