On taking retrospective glance at the course
OF The English tobacco trade IN this country during
the past twelve months IL will be found that it has
not teen disturbed by any startling changes, and
although sharing, 70 some extent, in the almost
unprecedented stssnation that has prevailed in
business generally, it has probably suffered less
practical interference from that cause than almost
any other branch Of commerce.
The more moderate range Of quotations, as
compared with the few previous years with which
1861 commenced. led TO . steady regular demand
for Western strips and 1t has been sstisfsc tory to
all interested in that particular description to see
the consumption steadily on the increase, and sp.
preaching the standard Of former years, when
substitutes were comparatively unknown.

stances. The demand was active, and buyers
for f reign markets very busily engaged in ex-
smiDing samples, but very urgent in their demands
for concessions. Holders were, however, very
successful in cobtending against Them. Receipts
were liberal, in fact were the heaviest OF any
month during the yeRr-one week alone some

July aud August During the arly part OF July
the market exhibited considerable apathy. There
was, however. g GOOD inquiry for the lower grades
for the Bremen, French and English markets, but
prices asked by holders were generally above
the limits Of buyers late In the month, however
ana during the srsafar portion of August the in.
curry was general, and quite heavy sales we're
made for the French and Bremen markets. while
prices were fully maintained. Sales for the two
months amounted TO 2l60 hhds. One great draw
back, however, in the way of shipments was the
great want of tonnage in port. AS many factors
are now putting forth strenuous efforts to make
New Orleans great shipping port for Tobacco,
we are in hopes ere long we shall recover our old
and enviabie position in this great and generally
remuDerafive trade.
