LEAF TOBACCfb,

Our market is very dun under very heavy
receipts and offerings, nearly ali of which
Is very inferior in quality. Our Oldest buyers
assure us they have never seen crop SO poor in
quality as that portion Of the crop which has
reached this market. 1t is generally believed
mere that our planters are holding back all their
pest grades for spring order and pricing and
only sending forward now their lowest grades.
when the quality of the tobacco now being
ohered is considered, we do not think there is
any cause for complaint as to the prices paid on
the part Of the planters.
we renew our quotations of last week, though
there is tendency TO lower prices.

not the least that at no former period have
more pogerfu interests and influences existed seeking
for selfish and mschievous legislation, and capable at
any time of forming dangerous combinations. The cor.
