THE TOBACCO MARKET.

Several parties about here have no sold their tobacco, and they have stripp ed and packed it. It is said that tht tobacco market in the cities is very dul and unpromising for producers.

It is desired that no change be made in the duty on tobacco, for the American farmers have very few crops or which to realize any ready money.
