1.-THE " heat trade, which Is overburdened
with excessive importance, has continued
dull. Most OF the provincial markets are
quoted lower this week. Of the coast and
at Elsinore and Copenhagen, for orders,
there are good number Of cargoes, which
move away slowly. For those on passage
or shipment there appears for the present
almost no demand. Imports since Monday
comprise a fair quantity OF wheat, mode
rately fresh supply OF maize, and little -four.
At this market to-day there was moderate
attendance. Transactions in wheat were
unimportant. White sold at reduction of
1@2d. per GENITAL, and second qualities of
red American at similar decline. New
red winter sells Mt scarcely any variance
from the prices made on Tuesday. Flour
was in limited request ut unchanged prices.
For corn there was a fair average inquiry at

john II. si,rint q Co.'s Circular "s to
LONDON. 4 CROSBY SopkRE,


Sd August, 1877. -
Business last month was rather more ac-
tive, chiefly owing to demand for Virginia
leaf for expectation, but ut prices which
compel us again to reduce our circular quo
tatious. About $50 hogsheads OF Virginia
leaf were taken in this market for Italy,
and probably about the same quantity in
Liverpool. besides some western. suitable
for cigar purposes. The selections made
were no doubt mostly of good class OF
dark wrappery leaf. and prices paid were
decidedly low compared with late ideas Of
holders. and we fear must leave considera-
bic loss to shippers. about so hogsheads
OF Virginia were also taken for Antwerp at
still lower prices.
Virginia Stripts were not much in de-
demand, but few small sales were CT
fected. .-.. -.a-. .... e..
Prices have already fallen so much with
Us that wc hope we may soon feel ourselves
on pretty firm ground, when a good trade
may be expected; but actual supplies in
sight, which eau be used only in England,
are undoubtedly large; and II consumption
is to be increased in proportion, it can only
be on q basis OF price which will make 1t
profitable to work American in preference
to other Srowths. What That exact point
may be We cannot venture to predict. AL
we can say now is that for some classes OF
tobacco prices are already extremely low,
and cannot be far of, if they have not
already touched bottom. -

Sists that this country can noT and hence
forth control a large extent al the grain
markets of Europe. Russia, he says, has
heretofore been our only competitor. but
late improvements and advantages enable
lis to place grain on shipboard fifteen per

Russia. He is persuaded that with reason
able efforts on our part we can control the
English, French. and italian markets.
