As seen from John Ia. GilIiat & Co.'s
Tobacco Circular.
LoNDOS, 4 CROSBY SQUARE, +. c.,
lst Stay, 1883.

LONDON, 4 CROSBY SQUARE, j.. G.,
lst Stay, 1855.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Strive have to report another extremely
dull month IN the tobacco market. All
classes Of American tobacco seem 10 be
equally neglected, and for the present hold
ers have no choice but to look on and await
further developments. Whether these are
to be IN favor Of or against the market We
caunOt say; but no doubt much win depend
on the extent Of the planting and the pro-
gress OF the crop during the summer.
Meanwhile we are likely 10 have rather a
dull ane dragging market.
Manufacturers are generally well stocked,
and except Of one or two speciaties there IS
no prospect Of any scarcity IN this c0uAsry.
For the lower grades Of strips there has
been very little sale during the winter. and
the stock Is still largely In excess Of all APP
parent requirements.
We have In previous circulars and IN our
letters called attention 10 the large accunu-
Iation OF Virginia tobacco Ia our ware
bouse'. The free shipments OF the last two
or three months have naturally astonished
the trade, whe were led 70 expect very small
supplies OF rev tOsEcco, and shippers VIII
have suly themselves 10 blame II prices are
Disappointing.
while We make no alteration in our eur.
rent quotations. there can be no doubt that
The tsne Of the market Ia easier, and con-
cessioDs have been Eecessary 10 make sales.
