The principal attraction in this market were some beautiful black ponies, which paced the streets for hours, but to no advantage.

As already remarked the day was unusually dull in this locality, where there are so many stables, and where it is estimated no fewer than fifty thousand horses change hands each year. There was plenty of fine stock on hand, but no demand whatever for them and no lovers of horseflesh present to admire them, heavy truck horses and Pennsylvania and Ohio stock being the only kind in any demand, A pair of brown truck Horses of the Ohio breed, and im- mensely powerful, Mr, ‘Taylor, of A jet black pony, beat ao bought bys gentletsan in Twenty-eight street one of tte companies gave. $800 ench for six orsea, about ibys hands high and well built, Pennayl- vania stock.

BROADWAY AND THIRTY-SEVENTH STREET. The stables in this vicinity were also dull; only very few horses were di of, and these were totally unimportant. Hig er up in Broadway the same complaint was made and the same was the story, and so also jn Mercer, Grand, Canal and other streets where there were any important stables. ‘There is no doubt, however, that if the weather improve the horse market will immediately look up and become as lively ag it ought to be at this season of the year, THE TOBACCO TRADE OF NEW YORK. Since the war New York has become the central mart of the tobacco trade of the United States, and New Orleans, which formerly monopolized the greater portion of the enormous profits annually realized from tramic in the soothing weed, now does a comparatively insignificant business in that article. The great bulk of the produce of the tobacco flelds of Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and Indiana, in- stead of being shipped from the mouth of the Mis- sissippi, as formerly, is now consigned to this mar- ket, from whence it is forwarded to all parts of the globe. Some idea of the enormous increase in the tobacco trade in this city may be formed from the estimate that no less than one hundred thon- sand hogsheads are now received annually in this market from the Southern States, in the place of the paltry ten thousand per annum which was about the maximum receipt previous to the war, This great change has, of course, mainly been brought about by the energy of our merchants and the judicious employment of Northern capital. Owing to the superior business and shipping facili- ties of this port Southern tobacco can, as a general thing, be forwardgd from this to foreign ports at half the expense it would incur if shi Orleans, The following figures show that thes eae. ers have not been slow to avail themselves of the superior accommodations our enterprisi me chants have Placed at thelr disposals” aralie Stock of tobacco in New York June 1, 1868., Stock of tobacco in New Orleans June 1, 1 + 8,300 The high prices of the last few years have had the effect of pushing the line of the tobacco wit region some three hundred iniles north of fie ante tune boundary. great West had never cuiti- vated tobacco a8 an export staple north of the Ohio Tjver, except in Missouri; but now we find the weed extent ly culuivated in lowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and partially in all the Northwest, embracing an area of country twice as large as the old on, which embraced Missourt, Kentucky, the southern ortion - ‘Tennessee, Virginia, Carolina and aryland. ‘The culture of tobacco was remunerative to the pianter at five cents per pound, gold, previous to the war; now, owing to the increased price of labor, the first price is about seven cents, gold. With regard to Virginta tobacco the business ol buying and ‘sell is mostly transacted in the marts of the Oi Dominion, but the forwarding and shipping trade is dependent on the sacilities of this market. nei und Ohio tobacco, in hogsiteads, is largely in for England, Germany and Holland; also for manufacturing purposes, such as smoking tobacco. The principal market for this article is Baltimore. Sexo Lrar, whieh is mainly the product of Masaa- chusetts, Connecticut, New ) ork, Pennsylvania and Ohio, having of late years received more attention from European buyers, also concentrates largely at this point, @ exports Of this article for the past few years been as follows:—1863, 7,000 cases; 1364, 27,000 cases; 1806, 41,000 cases; 1886, 22, cases; 1567, 41,000 cases. ‘The receipts of foreign tobaceo (products of the West india islands, principally Cuba, &c.) in this country are almost entirely confined ‘to this Port, from whence the manufacturing trade is supplied, and a considerable quantity is exported to Bi MANUFACTURED TOBACCO.—The great bulk of the tobacco manufactured in Virginia is forwarded direct to this market, and the numerous and extensive manufactories of this city and of Brooklyn also con- tribute largely to our export trade, the balance of their stock being set aside for home consumption. Virginia now supplies the Southern states with manufactured tobacee direct, a branch of the trade Which in former day8 Was almost monopolized by New York. The great West is supplied from her own factories, and Canada, since the abolition of the reciprocity treaty and the tposition of an internal tax, no longer uses Our manufactured article, but deais largely in the raw material. ‘The tobacco sea- gon in New York commences about May and laste tW) September, Le ae pal business bel geted daring the val of the incoming crop of iné7, the first instalments of are just to hand, promises to be a satis. factory one, although, owing to the perishable nature of the article and the many risks it has to undergo, it i# hard to arrive at at any re- liable estimate, From tle commencement the resent year the trade has been unset, dull, fact which ts pt erally attributed to un- certainty which as to future legislation on the tax seen — ag cause has exercised a more or less influence on the foreign trade, but recent large ipments of Kentucky have an improved tone. off in the ‘The follow! res show the fallii trade of leaf: oat since cases; export same time last trade of the N it chi in to the fact that when the armies were Meld the com#omption of demestic clyars was barrasements.
