Tobacco Market.

RICHMOND, Va, MAY 10.
An improved tone and better trade
characterizes our market this week. Of
ierIngs are SUI Jected to apparent demand
from day to day. Receipts have been
light, and the seasons we have had has
not increased breaks Dark new tobaccos
suitable for export trade are stronger.
Cutters sold sparingly, but several large
lots have been sampled, and are ready for
sale Wrappers are dLlI and cheap for
medium grades, there have been few sales
OF importance for six weeks or more
The crop planting no doubt goes steadily
on, and little complaint Of scarcity Of
plants is heard, and only a backward
season is at present in the way of a good
size average crop of which perhaps half
is already set. The tobacco reports all
over the country have advised planters
of the great danger of over cropping, and
especially on nondescript and common
grades in Virginia and North Carolina !;
and If this warning is not needed, the re.
suit Of very low prices. that seem almost
inevitable will not be the fault of
the buyers or sellers Of the weed
or the tobacco reports in these columns.
Several export factories here are doing
good business on close margines. Bur
ley plug were all quiet. Sun-cured old
leaf is non.active with light stocks. Ship
ping old and new snow no life, but June
will be the heavy month for sampling
and sa.es of this kind. Interior markets
show no noteworthy changes, but are all
rather quiet.
Western markets in dark fine leaf is
more active and higher.
The exposition tobacco premium leaf
will be out early next week.
The Tobacco Exchange will be closed

A HUMoRIsT. "A new humorist, the
only Republican humorist since the days
of llorr of Michigan, was unearthed in
the House Of Representatives on Thurs
day in the person of Congressman Mason
OF Chicago. Though much Of his wit
was Of the Mother Goose order, he never
theless succeeded in scoring a decided
hit. He was aggressive, and spared
neither dignity nor honor He was also
at times extremely personal, especially
in his sally against Mr.. Cox. who had
preceded him in debate. There is no
danger that Mr. Mason will become a
formidable rival to Mr.. Cox. The New
York Representatives wit is not only
always brilliant, but it never descends
below the dignity Of the House-N y.

fee of President Stanford of the Southern
Pacific Company, at Fourth and Townsend
streets. He is in daily conference with
Charles Crocker, Colonel c. F. Crocker. A.
n. Towne, Chief Engineer Hood and other
officials of the company, says the San Fran

plated improvement in the service of the
company, as well as the construction OF
proposed branch lines. He will begin q
tour of the coast in a special car, with a
party of officials, in the course of the next
Fortnight. Before leaving for the East,
which will probably not be before June LIST,
he will have travelled over nearly the whole
of the mileage of he Southern Pacific
Company, including the California and
Oregon.
Referring to the late Eastern mails. the
San Francisco Call says: The Southern
Pacific Company complains of the criticisms
which have been made lately concerning
the arrival of the overland mails. This is
declares to be unjust, inasmuch as the fault
lies not with this company, but with the
Union Pacific. There are two daily trains
from Ogden, the first connecting with the
Union Pacific fast train, and the second
with the Denver and Rio Grande and also
the Union Pacific at Ogden. The Southern
Pacific Company claims that these two
trains seldom arrive on time and thus
cause delays on their division. Very
often the Central Pacific train has had to
start without making the connections so as
not to disturb the local traffic. During the
past month it is asserted that the Union
Pacific fast train has connected on time on
only two or three occasions, and the other
train connected but twice."

The letters sent by different countries show
universal interest in the Council all over

between the manner in which the press
received the Convention of forty years ago
and the reception of the present Interna-

must be of lasting effect. She contrasted

MEXICAN AFFAIRS.
The President In His Message Discusses
the Relations with America.

copyright, 1888, by the California Associated Press
CITY OF MEXICO, April 1st.-Congress
opened this evening. The Presidents mes
sage alludes to the negotiations with the
United States relative to the restoration of
the boundary marks between the two coun-
tries, and says the International Commits
sion will begin its labors as soon as the
United States Congress votes the funds to
cover the expenses of the American mem
bers of the Commission.
The question of the deviation of the Rio
Grande is also receiving the attention of the
Mexican Government, and eventually pro-
posals will be made with the view of pro-
tecting the interests of Mexico.
The President briefly refers to the Eagle
Pass incident, ahd says an officer, Sergeant
and two soldiers belonging to the garrison
of Piedras Negras penetrated American
territory in pursuit of a deserter, and on
the American authorities resisting his ap-
prehension shots were exchanged, ocoa-
sioning casualties on both sides. Those
presumed to be guilty have been impris-
oned, and the military authorities are in
vestigating the matter, with a view to pun
ishing the authors of this seandalous affair,
which closely resembles that which oc-
CURED not long ago.
The President announced the intention
of Mexico to keep faith with her foreign
creditors. The modesty of Diaz, in not
speaking boastfully of the new loan, is fa-
vorably comm ented upon.
