TRADE.

There has been but few changes in the
general markets since our last report, and
business is just $3.50. Meats are steady,
but corn is some weaker with a feeling on
the part Of buyers that it will go
lower. Meat is in active demand and
somewhat irregular, with very little in
the market. From the tobacco growing
region Of Kentucky We hear good reports
Of the young plants, and as soon as the
weather becomes settled, they will be set
out. In abiding to the prices prevailing
in the great tobacco markets, a late Clarks-
vile Tobacco Plant says:
It will be remembered that the New
York aHd New Orleans markets opened
very duh, and our shippers we're notified
by their commission merchants that their
purchases would not realize cost. They
were, however, disposed TO hold ont, n
the demand forced buyers to come TO their
figures, and all of a sudden there was
great activity in the markets. This re-
suit was very gratifying to commission
merchants, as iJ afforded q chance to pay
their customers out. But the reaction had
a most violent effect upon the inte-
rior markets, and our buyers advanced
in proportion.
This leaves the market In the same con-
dition as At the opening, with an advance
and the immediate demand supplied.
Considering the decline in gold, tobacco
IS higher now than az the same period
last year. Commission Werchants are a
little vexed with their Western shippers,
for this manifestation OF a disposition, as
they term Il, to control the market by
paying he planters high prices and look
ing to them for full returns. Our dealers
must now look to another advance to pay
them out. This they are disposed to do,
having realized, in advance Of foreign
buyers, the shortness of the crop, 10 sup
ply the demand, and continue TO bid lib
orally, fully up to the prices stimulated
by the recent advance.
