oaLAiAOhhs Wiy ObLls AOtO-
Since we issued our last circulsr on the 4th
ulto., our market has shown more activity, and
sales of about 1000 Hhds, Ohio Tobacco have
been affected, consisting Of purchases made for
Bremen, Duisburg. and Austria; we regret 70
state however. that owing TO the depressed con-
dition of the markets prices obtained are lower
than last year.
Last week Mr., Keynes. Of New York, the
correspondents of Mr.. Campo, the French con-
tractor called upon us with Mr.. Kremelberg,
and requested us 10 show them some French
grades; upon inquiring what prices they could
pay, they stated they wanted to buy at frac.
ton above "a: to sell French Tobacco at this
price would be perfect sacrifice and ruipous
to the trade, and therefore we declined show
ing the Tobacco.
As the French mead large AMOUNT and the
receipts Of French grades VIII fall short irom
now on (niore eof the spangied and fine grades
being shipped). it seems evident that II agents
are firm. fair prices can be obtained for such
descriptions. If the French contractors should
meet with loss on their contract this year, we
think it would be warning to them not to take
the contract too low in the future and conss-
quently q benefit to the trade, as all who have
been interested in il are we'll awsre, what los.
ses owners of Ohio Tobacco had to submit to.
owning to the low French contracts as q
ss We consider it policy to hold on TO French
grades and to sell to other buyers at the best
prices obtainable in order TO prevent too large
an accumulation of stock.
T During the past few days there seems TO be
an improved demand for spangled grades and
should this continue we hope to be able TO OBJ
tain better prices
Mr.. Gortsr has not yet made any PURCHASES

ern cities are managed by people hav-
ing no personal interest in rates OF tax
alton. They are chosen because it is
believed, by the majority of those vot-
ing, that they will contiscate the eity's
wealth and impoyerish taxpayers.
Therefore, we find that Philadelphia's
tax rate is $2.15; in New York it is
1856, with an assessment nearly as
high as in Philadelphia in proportion
to the income property earns in the
two cities. The total appropriations
in New York are $50, O79, or; in Phil
adelphia they are sl2, 500, 900 less. In
New York the State tax has been re-
duced from 1877 by $251, 557, and the
interest on the city debt by over $12,-
600. The New York interest and sink
ing fund account is put down at SO, :
S19, ESQ; in Philadelphia they are
81, 0S5, 695. The assessed valuation Of
New York for 1878 is over 81, 100, 900, :
900; in Philadelphia it is $3.50, $685.
OCT. Ia New York the expenses of
the departments are reckoned at $14,-
231, 0)6, as against less than So, 900, =
900 in Philadelphia. There are South
ern cities in worse condition infinitely
than New York or Philadelphia. New
Orleans, Memphis, Charleston, Hous-
ton and others that were victimized By
the ignorant rabble in the days of re-
construction, when taxpayers were dis
franchised, boast of enormous public
debts. Houston pays nothing on its
bonded debt. Memphis is about to
re-elect a mayor against whom all sorts
of allegations were made when he left
Office, and an exjudge, whose ability
and integrity were never questioned,
will be beaten. The forces of parti-
sanship are ingeniously brought to bear
IN these elections upon good, honest
people, who believe in ''the party" as
in their God, and 1t commonly happens
that the party, as alleged of its con-
ductiR Houston, chooses the worst pos
sible materials for the most RESPONSE
BILE positions. Decent men vote for
the best man in the field, or, disguised
with the conduct of dirty ward meet
ings and corner grocery conventions,
never vote at all. The only remedy,
as We believe we have stated once or
twice in our lives, consists in the re-
strlcticr of suffrage in municipal cleo
tons to taxpayers.
