TOBACCO NOTES.
Export Trade Very Dull Just Now-Senator
Martin Writes.


The export trade with England is yerv
Gull at this point and shows no imme-
ulate sign OF revivins. Some of the ex-
rorters Of this city have not sold a hogs
head OF tobacco in England in a month
One reason for this inactivity is the fact
that the Imperial Tobacco Company, the
rev combination of British manufacture
ers, is pretty we'll supplied and has grown
more particular, purchasing only such
tobacco comes up to a standard which
it has set. Another reason is that the
great quantity Of the bright tobacco
used in England is exhausted. There is
none left for shipment.
Through a letter to the president OF the
Tobacco Association OF the United
States received in this city yesterday.
