NEW WORK TOBACCO MARKET.

MAY l5.-Thcre has been more business done In
the leaf-tDoucco market during the lst week than
was recorded In our previous issue. There has been
apparently particular attraction OF occurrence to
promote increased activity, and the gain that Is Fer,
ceptibe is mainly due TO the fact OF III augmented
number Of small purchases. Exporters have taken
fair portion usual of tic transfers OF, western
leaf their purchases embracing 7SS hogsheads OF
the IL % hogsheads sold. Prices are unchanged:
and this stereotyped observation reminds US that
correspondent at the West.wrtes US that, In his
opinion It Is almost time for the New York mer-
chants mark up quotations to the cost of western
productions, at present figures tobacco caunot De
raised at profit.
Virginid Le1E--There WA; an increased demand
for smokers, as II the smoking branch OF the Viz
gna trade rcviying little, but beyond This no.
thing more than ordinary occurred. We note some
bright wrappers Sold and inquiry for good, dark
wrappers, which 1t seems impossible rs yet to yet.
nTtctuTed.-For manufactured tobacco OF all
styles there about all average weekly inquiry.
JObbers report fair local demand. but business
elsewhere, and generally. rather quiet Prices arc
steady. The exports for the week were 19S,422 lbs.
neutrality-suspicious. appears to have heen trtae
better In smoking circles the past week, as If the
competition OF the cheap grades Of tobacco-which
for some time have been on the market, but which
now seem to he eYilausted-wcrc 10 longer
hindrance TO regular sales.
CigarS.-Tlerc IS. as usual no change I'D note In
this department. The demand Is steady and good,
but apparently not ~ rule brisk.-IOb0cco Leaf.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1877-05-18

MAY I5.-Busness throughout the market has
been Of very small proportions selections OF all Seas
no DISPOSITION to add to Obligations by the purchase
of anything that Is not actually required judging
from the actions and ltprances of all classes OF dis.
trihutors. there never was such a total absence OF
speculative feeling, inclination TO do busi
ness OF this kind but whether IL Is from the
lessons of the past that It has been discontinued,
I've be seen when the opportunity Offering ID refused.
Cotton goods Of any and all Glasses are In move
mcnt to the extent OF daily demands, beyond which
there is little to be remarked In the movement to
the home trade. Exporters are not what we would
call active, yet are taking more goods from stock
than Is known generally, while for future delivery
some orders OF Importance have been PLACED;
Printing cloths are reported active to-day at 4kc.,

church-yarj. Diligent inquiry of purchasers named
does not confirm Inc mas such

changing the ownership without removal OF gooas

Everybody, nearly, in Richmond knows
Miss Salle Tompkins, and her fame as one
OF tue noble women who aided many poor
soldier during the war has spread far over
the southern country. But what wanted
to say about Miss Salie was something about
her devotion to the Episcopal Church. She's
a member of St. James, Richmond. For a
number OF years it has been Miss Salie's
habit to attend the sessions of the Council,
and to entertain at her own expense from
twenty to fifty delegates. She generally
rents house, furnishes it completely, and
keeps it up until the Council adjourns. In
conformity to her usual custom, she has
rented house here on Vine street and fur

Richmond and had it shipped here and put
up. When the Council adiourns she will
send it back to Richmond and sell it. Now,
