during the same period. The exports OF
manufactured tobacco reached 81 SO lbs, OF
which $3.50 lbs were leaf. The market has
shown activity In Kentucky brands, but in
other particulars has been quiet. Kentucky
leaf Las been in good demand for export IN
view OF the demand from buyers who have
been obliged to meet the views of holders.
Business tnus far has been much below tue
average OF previous Aprils, showing that the
extreme prices are limiting purchases to the
most pressing wants OF the buyers. Sales Of

about three -fOurths were for export; prices
ranging from SO 5O9ll 10 for new Sl2 for old

cannot pay the prices asked, and the local
trade wants but little. sales of Y cases Ohio

serve. The general trade OF the city was a lit
tie more active in some departments during
the week, but or the whole was far from sat-
