Thetobaoco offered was principally
of the lower grades, and all Of it was
in too high order. There is great
demand for Bright Tobacco. in fine
shipping order, aud fine prices could
be realized for all such shipped to this
market. @e
The prices realized in this market
for the staple have been good, and
the attention of tobacco menare being
directed to this point. There is nc
question as to the advantages that
will accrue to this city by making it a
great tobacco market
As we have stated heretofore, our
geographical position in the center of
a great tobacco growing country is
unsurpassable. The boats from the
Tennessee, Cumberland, Wabash and
Green Rivers empty their-load at our
wharf, and when this market becomes
known to the planters on those
streams, we shall receive all the to-
bacco in this city that can be handled
and sold. There is a large amount of
tobacco grown in the southern part oil
Indiana, and this is the market il
ought to seek; and we have no reason
to dcubtthat the planters in the neigh
boring counties would rather send
their tobacco to this market, where
they know it can be sold fully as well,
if not better than at Louisville.
Martin, Gardner & Co. offer special
inducements to shippe~0 to send their
tobacco here. The Cnarges Tor 10
spectiug aud handling is s. 80 pen
hogshead at Louisville, if rejected
while the enterprising gentlemen
named above only charge 81 for tins
same service, making difference ID
favor of this city of 81 so per hogs
head. Very few of the sales made in
this market have been rejected; ana
in two cases where the parties would
not take the prices offered here-bu
shipped to Louisville-they failed tC
, sell for as much as here, besides hav
ing to pay the additional cost o.
freight from this city. These facts
and facts they are, set shrewd men tC
thinKing. Buyers from abroad are
already turning their attention to this
point. and several new ones are in the
market this week, and will be present
at the sales that will be made to-day
, There will be another regular sale
, to-day at 103 o'clock, and about sew
, eDty hogsheads will be offered. Thu
} tobacco that will be offered thi
morning is from Green River, Cum
harland River and hack of Padncah
r We expect large attendance on thi
; occasion, and have reason to presume
that there viii be several buyers from
Henderson.
Since writing the above, we lear
that Martin, Gardner & Co. will offe
10 hogsAeads for sale to-day, instead
! of 40. Indiana is represented by he
first offering of II hogsheads.
