was on Change to-day. and speaking I
tobacco said: "Our receipts of new to-
bacc0 have beel somewhat larger TO-
the past few days They had been
very light uD To that time. Prices are
high ON all grades. and there is a de-
cided rant Of body.
The Louisville Courier Journal OF
yesterday has the following ON the leaf
tobacco market.
Beginning Friday. the nth instant. at
0 4. NJ. the sales will be held at the
warehouses in the following order
Green River. Falls City. Ninth Street,
Pickett. Owens. Htadley * Co.. Saw
yer. Wallace x Co. Louisville. Farmers.
Globe. Planters. Kentucky and Tonnes
see. Crescent. Central. Enterprise.
There WIS a considerable decrease in
the sales to-day, the total being 52i
hogsheads. Yesterday g rejections were
rs.
There was nothing about to-day :
market worth commenting upon. ex-
cep- the slightly improved feeling in
common hurley. Otherwise the sales
were of the same mouotOnOus routine
observable for the last ten days. There
is no spirit and life in the bidding, and
every third hOgshead is rejected.
There seems 10 be a tacit understand
ing among the buyers to purchase only
20 a limited extent. and they olf.r each
other but little competition. There isl
no organized buyers trust. but they
have things their own way Just at pres
ent. 80 10 speak. and they very natur-
ally mean 20 keep them SO as long a.
possible. Manufacturers are pretty
well stocked at present, and they can
afford t. hold of for a while. Ship
pers who can afford it ought to do the
came.
The Richmond tobacco market was
active and strong this week, especially
on wrappersand filler grades. with large
sales. G. Mel.
