Tobacco Market.
R1cHAosD, March II, 1859.

Our receipts have fallen off in the past few
days, though the offerings are still full for the
season. There has been slight decline in all
grades of dark tobacco, particularly In COM
mon Jugs, while bright wrappers are in de-
mand, and prices are stiff, with a decided mp
ward tendency. transactions for the past
week: SOB hogsheads, 16S tierces, 81 boxes;
which were sold at the following quotations:

WORD TO PLANTERS.
We would again call the attention Of our
planters TO the Importance of paying more at
ten ton TO the asserting and ordering of their
tobacco. The season has arrived when we
may reasonably expect large shipping orders
TO be coming in, and in order to meet the de-
mand tobacco should be priced In good order,
and made to average 1900 to 400 pounds,
net. Common Tugs should weigh / 800 to 500
pounds, net.

Louisville, Ky.
In Louisville, Ky, on the 9Th instant, sales
were but IS hogsheads, bad weather inter-
fering with the arrivals. During the week
the bulk Of the supplies were trashy Tugs and
inferior grades, which caused q decline for
those grades. The receipts Of desirable Leaf
and cutting leaf were small and wholly I'M
equal TO the demand. Accordingly, prices OF
the latter were fully maintained, and the num-
Der of buyers having increased there was nc
tive competition. Sales for the week, 797
hogsheads, and for the season 9,4O6 hogsheads.

Messrs. Page, Ronald Co., proprietors Of
the Farmers Tobacco Warehouse, In their cir
! cular, say:
at is now conceded that the present crop o.
tobacco is large, and estimates are made tina
we will receive in this market for the current
year 90, 900 hogsheads, against sc, 900 hogsheads
last year. During the latter part of February
the receipts and sales were large; and as the
offerings increased the price for low grades
| has steadily given way, and are now selling a.
n 10 lc. less than at the opening OF the season
We quote common to good Jugs at is 50 10 vs.
common leaf at Sc. so to IS, good leaf at ss tc
$50 per 100 pounds.
AS far as we are advised, the largest par
of the present crop is Of poor quality. Fol
| Tugs and low leaf the chances are that th'
| price may go lower; but for the better class OF
tobacco, present prices, we think, will be fully
maintained.
