The FTench Government has invited propo-
sails for iwo millions seven hundred thou sand
kilos, equal TO about 9. 500 hhds Of long lrafy
tobacco for their t.,is years supply. These
bids are 10 be opened on the 3?nd Of May, and
should the contracts be awarded. which how
ever Is not quite certain owing to The large
ket after the middle Of May. We trust that
this contract may he taken and rs the. leafy
portion OF This years crop is suitable not only
for the French bu; for nearly every other mar.
ke,, We may expect considerable activity and
some what better prices.
The present state OF the market is ANYTHING
but desirable. With liule or no shipments TO
draw OF The rapidly accommodating stock. the
warehouses have been tilled to nearly their en-.
have refused to accept more tobacco. No. , and
are nearly 6lhd and. should much more to-
bocco arrive, more room will have 10 be pro-
vided. This state Of affairs shows plainly the
wants Of foreign demand At present, end We
doubt very much whether the market will i'm.
prove until some Of The foreign government or.
ders have been filed
