Messrs. Darlington & Co., having had
gentleman representing them in the
hurley sections for some time, are now
! am glad to say, reaping some OF the
fruits of their labOrs, as they are now in
daily receipt OF hurley tobaccos direct
from the shippers and dealers on the in.
land markets of the hurley sections of
Kentucky. There can be no reason why
orders should be sent to the West when
the tobacc0s can be brought here, a. ii is
now, and our manufacturers and dealeN
| should think, would certainly find ii Il
their interest to look and see what they
can do at home before sending theil
orders to the West.
Richmond and its vicinity work nearly
10000 hogsheads of hurley tobaccOs Per
annum, and there is no reason why
Richmond should not be a hurley mar.
ket, and with any sort of assistance from
our home buyers, it will become so.
Messrs. Darlington Il Co. inform me
that they have ON hand now stock of
some 90 or 20 hogsheads Of new hurley,
and will be in daily receipt from this
time on of good stocks.
mention Messrs Darlington Il Co.
particularly, because had a talk on this
subject with them to-day, but we have
other large dealers in burleys, as Messrs
+. T. Crump & Co, Carr & Dickinson,
Louis Lightfoot, +. W. Hannewinckle' :
Sons, and Charles W. BONNER, who will
doubtless agree with me on the above
proposition.
Mr. Tazewell Darlington, of Caring
ton & Co, has just returned from Dan
vile, Va and speaking of that tobacco
market SAYS There were very large
sales on Yesterday. The warehouses are
full, though the only good 'orappers saw
were OLD, and few stort neo medium
mohoganios, that in any ordinary year
would be classed as filters, which are now
selling from $14 to $22 Manufacturers
are active, competitors on all hlerg
grodes and are said to have large orders
ahead
The weather to-day was most unpro-
pitious for business, being cold and
rainy, though this afternoon it cleared
off, and the temperature was just cool
enough TO be pleasant. Very few trans
actions were reported, and by COMPARE
son with last week the market was dull
but there is a strong feeling pervading 1t
and a confidence in very much higher
prices for all desirable and colory old
stocks is freSy expressed. ] heard a
prediction made to-day that before next
fall there would certainly be scramble
aud Ginning for gcod .fHsrs' &. Mel.

The price is withheld, but is known &c
be very large. Ii is supposed to be

The Western ToJacco Jourani agree:
with one of its correspondents who has
recently returned from a trip over the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad that tn,
hurley growing cOunties-Campbell
Bracken and Mason-will not be sc
small crop this year as last year A
very prominent tobacconist of Maysvillt
endorses this a. his opinion also anC
that the planters are holding their to-
bacco in hopes of higher prices will be-
greatly disappointed, and will have tC
sell at considerably lower price than il
now paid.
The Cigar Manufacturers Legal Pro
tective Association Of New York, have
resolved 10 favor an enactment of uni
form duty of Soc. per pound on un

A Cincinnati broker writes, Marcl
Goth Our market is fully up, if no
stronger, this week on low grades anC
good clear leaf Most all the Virgins
brokers are frozen out by the late ad
vance in the market.
Mr. J. p. George has been confined Il
