Sir,-While the past month has witnessed
I q rather better demand than the preceding,
and some sales OF importance have been ne
gotiated at fair prices, the general appear
ance and tone OF the market has shown no
Improvement, and continued evidences Of
weakness and determination to sell are
manifest in various quarters. Whilethis'is
the case it is only natural that the trade
should hold back, and for the present we dc
not see much hope OF any change III these
conditions OF the market. @#-
The adrices from the United States rs TO
the probable action OF English shippers are
not yet sufficiently decided to afford much
help in estimating the chances OF the fu.
ture. We can only hope tina. the large in
tcrests at stake on this side may. not be fur
Their imperilled by the ill-advised action Of
those chiefly concerned. No doubt liberal
Inducements may be offered by some Of our
numerous importers 10 secure consgn-
ments, but it Goes not follow that it would
be wise TO accept them. 80. . .a,...
With regard 10 business here last month,
Missouri leaf figures rather largely in our
Sales but at prices which we iear can show
but little. profit. Some good parcels OF
western strips brought ourfufl quotations,
but for more medium and mixed lots prices
were irregular. Virginia leaf and strips
met with some inquiry. but we near OF only
n few transactions, chiefly in colory sorts.
Good color continues salable at lair prices,
but mixed and green parcels arc dlfiicutto
Iplace, except at low figures.
/ We resume, our former quotations, only
remarking that for most descriptions actual
selling prices are very irregular.

THE BEST PLAN FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL HOUSE.
To-day being the limit OF time fixed by the
houses by competing architects, up to O'Clock
ten different plans were In the Office, five from
architects In this District, one from Albany
other from Chicago. 1t is the purpose of
the commissioners to designate committee of
three disinterested peEODS OF good Judgment
and taste. before whom these plans will be laid
for examination and report The architect
whose plan may receive the preference as best
suited TO the schools OF this District will, ac-
cordtng to the advertisement, receive the prize
of $500.
Mr.. RIDDLE, attorney Tor the District, has
given the Commissioners an opinion in relation
to lands bid In by the District as delinquent for
non. payment Of taxes. He says "By the 5th
section Of act Of March 8, 1875, property not bid
off by private parties for sum that would paw
the tax was to be bid of by the District, and II
not redeemed within two years the District
Ike other purchasers, was entitled to decd.
Us Stat, 502) This was continued in the 5th
section by the act Of July IL, 1876 u9 stat, 81
This In part was changed by the 5th section of
act Of March, 1877. That act provides In similar
cases the property shall be bid Off by the Dis
trict. But the property so bid Off Coy
the D1StrtcG shall not be exempted from
assessment and taxation las the property
OF the District should be) but Shall be az
sessed and taxed as other property"
II not redeemed within two years, instead of
having deed, the District has the right to
regard Itself not as owner, but as having
lien for the amount due 1t, with the right u
apply to the court to have the lien enforced 0y
a judicial sale Of the property, and this proois-
ion extends to all property bid of by the District
at any time before this act. His advice is. that
these lands are to be continued on the dupli-
cate for the purpose Of taxation, delinquent
tax list and resale, as other property, and who
ever bids it Off at resale must pay prior deltn-
quenc1es, costs and penalties. AS the District
by purchase does not acquire title, but only
lien, the property should remain as subject to
succeeding taxes In the name of the owner, and
so the act declares.
