THURSDAY EVENING, May 10th, 1870
Our market, since our last semi-weekly
review, has been somewhat unsettled, and
We now quote -four as being rather quiet
with no material changes in quotations
though rather weak market. Com has
been in large receipt, and unfsvorable ad-
vices from other markets have caused q
decline in price Of 6 10 Toe per bushel, and
the market closes extremely dull at the de-
cline. Oats are dull and declining and
market closed 2 10 &c lower. Hay Is ex-
tremely dull, and sales were limited at con-
cessions 81 90 per ton.

house opened at . o'clock. The bulk of
the tobacco on the brakes was of low
grade. The prices obtained were very sat
isfactory, particularly the price obtained
for the hogshead of bright wrapper.
The sales comprised 22 hogsheads, as
follows:
Sixteen hhds frosted and frozen Tugs,

The sale ut the Planters Tobacco Ware
house was an improvement upon its pre-
decessors, and in all respects success.
The sale was confined entirely 10 the low.
- grades, and large portion Of the guam
tity sold was of Illinois growth.
The total sales comprised 81 hogsheads,
viz:

Everybody seemed well pleased with the

every hogshead offered commanded its full
value.

there is no material change.
