The rereipts Of sugar amounted to- day to 1889

sugars have a very fair prospect OF getting
good prices for their products; but unfortu-

lower grades
The stock Of -four continues to be large.
There was a good, comparatively. demand
to-day for home consumption. and the sales

Tabacco from New Orleans to New FORK.
On Sunday last we published dispatch to the
Chicago Tribune. of the 27th ut.. in which was
stated that quantity Of tobacco. in hogsheads,
had been shipped by rail. on through rate.
from New Orleans to New York. to be exported
from the last named city by the purchaser In
New Orleans, The writer draws from this fact
the conclusion that New Orleans has lost Its
nreatige as tobacco market II he knew
whereof he was writing he would think other
wise. This lot of tobacco had besn pledged to
several banks and Insurance. companies
of this city for loans made by them.
The firm to which they made advances or,
rather granted loans. failed. and wishing to
realize ON the same as speedily as possible, they
shipped the tobacco by steamer and rail to New
York This tobacco was two years old. and
owing to he fact that there was large stock
here at that time. which was more desirable
and bringing better prices. the holders sent 1t
to New York for market This circumstance,
being an unusual one. does not prove anything
against New Orleans as n tobacco market. and
cannot be SO tortured even by most specions
and jnvsterate enemy.

NO Change In the Tobacco Taxes.
Washington Correspondence Cincinnati En-
uuirer,1


uurerl
The agitation OF the proposed reduction Of the
rate Of the tax on manufactured tobacco. from
twenty four to twelve or sixteen cents,
originated with the manufacturers OF smoking
pran,llated tobacco The movement In this
direction. however, has met with decided oppo-
sition go much go tina 1t may be set down as
effeetualy killed. II was alleged BY those sup
porting The proposition that Virginia man
ufacturers wanted q reduction, but The
Internal Revenue Bureau. and the Com
mittee on Ways and Mems have. re-
eeived large numbers Of letters from
against a reduction of the tar. and complain
ing that The agitation of the matter has already
curtailed the demHnd for tobacco one half, and
has caused the discharge Of HUSBANDS OF en-
ployes, and the closing. Of some factories;
they say the tax is collected honestly and
rtUfftv ind without if3affHeis the part e
tho Taxpayer. All tax on tobacco is paid
| originally by the manufacturers. but Of
| course, finally by the consumer. The manu-
| faeturers cay that nearly all OF their trade
are opposed to any change In the tax,
but that If there is to be change In the rate it
| should be made expeditiously. 50 as TO pvt an
end to the present ruinous agitation OF the sub
! iect. | have 1t from high authority that the
| ground that nine tenths of the tobacco trade
| will oppose it; and by leading members OF the
| Ways and Means Committee am authorized to
say that there will be NO change whatever in the
| tobacco tax rate. It seems that the only manu-
| faeturers demanding reduction are those who
conflne their business to the ans-eus and
smok ing tobacco production.
