the breaks to-day comprised 169 hogsheads, 33
tierces. and boxes. The offerings at auction on
Change were So packages OF which NUM- Der 20
were taken In, and the remainder sold ut prices
ranging from So 10 $50.
Owing to the large amount of tobacco In bad
order which was being forced on our market last
week prices generally rulcJ about low we ever
saw them. Indeed, we think they must have struck
bottom. This week the offerings are Of little bet
Ter grade, and there Is more activity Fine yellow
wrappers scarce aud In good demand. There
orders here for strictly fancy bright wrap
pers, but they caunot be found at present on this
market. The prices of dark tobacco are about the
same. All good, desirable semming and shipping
grades are taken readily at quotations, while the
lower grades arc neglected and hard 10 sell.
