vanced three hundred per cent. or more, Tar had advanced but one hundred per cent. At the opening of the year the range of prices was $2 12 @ $2 374 for wholesale parcels, and from this time to the middle of April the extremes were $2 @ $2 50; but about this time North County and Wilmington, as it runs and selected, was quoted nominally $175 @ $2 25, the lowest range of the year. From this point prices advanced, and by the end of the month $3 @ $3 50 was reached, declining shortly, however, to $2 75 @ $3 25 for North County and Wilmington, and continuing steady at about these figures till the last week of July, when $2 50 @ $3 12 were the extremes. In the beginning of August speculators took some 3 @ 4,000 bbls. North County at $2 624 @ $3, and during the second and third weeks some 7,000 bbls. were taken, beginning at $3 25 @ $4, and running up to $4 50 @ $5. There was little change from these rates till the beginning of November, when North County was sold at $5; and during the remainder of the month prices continued to advance, till at the close, North County and Wilmington sold at $7 75 @ $8. During December the business was light, but holders were enabled continually to realize higher rates, till at the close $9 50 @ $10 was the range for lots from yard.

City Pitch-Of course sympathized with Tar and Rosin, but did not keep up with them in fair proportion; sales were made early in the year at $1 55 @ $160, and at the close $5 75 @ $6 was paid, delivered.

Consumption. It will be seen by the annexed tables that the consumption of Spirits Turpentine, Rosin and Tar has largely decreased, while the high prices obtained for Spirits Turpentine induced our distillers to turn their attention more than usual to its production, and by consequence the quantity of Crude Turpentine taken for home consumption is much greater than last year. The quantity of Spirits Turpentine taken from this port for consumption shows a falling off of more than a thousand barrels per week, the average in 1861 being 656 bbls., and in 1860, 1,693 bbls. per week.

TOBACCO TRADE OF THE UNITED STATES, YEAR 1861.

ANNUAL REVIEW.

THE Tobacco market on this side the Atlantic has not been without interest; we therefore present such features as appear prominent. At the advent of the year 1861 we set forth the stocks of Europe and America at 146,469 hhds., and estimated the incoming crop of the producing States at 187,000 hhds., from which we derived a total of 333,000 hhds. This development was certainly unfavorable to the sustenance of the then existing values; but subsequent vicissitudes, viz., the rapid progress of rebellion in a portion of the Tobacco-growing States, soon changed the aspect of affairs, and this staple early presented a favorable future.

January opened with the largest stock on record in this city, the market ruling tame. The sales for January and February proved about the usual average, some holders offering limited invoices at public sale, lugs and low leaf evidencing a decline of @cent per lb. April proved unusually dull, with light sales, and prices but feebly supported. By middle spring the disruption of the Union was rapidly extending, with the strong probability of non-intercourse with a portion of the Tobacco-producing regions, and prices became firm, with an improved export demand. It soon became evident that the remaining portion of the Western crop would come forward to New-York, while the total blockade of NewOrleans and the Virginia ports early turned the attention of exporters to this quarter. By mid-summer large sales were effected for the Mediter ranean and Spain, and prices, from brisk competition, rapidly improved, more particularly for lugs and low leaf, which rose fully 2 @ 24 cents from the lowest point of depression. Ere the succeeding fall the demand rather increased than otherwise. The purchaser for France now entering the market rapidly brought the article to the culminating point, the sales in November reaching nearly 10,000 hhds., and all inferior qualities having now approached double the prices ruling early in the season. The total sales for the year sum up upwards of 38,000 hhds., more than twice the number ever before consummated in this market, and indicative of its future prestige. Of the present stock in warehouse about 8,000 hhds. are awaiting shipment, 4,500 in the hands of importers-consisting of about 3,000 medium, heavy and light leaf, and 1,500 lugs-the remainder in dealers' and manufacturers' hands. Selections of both light and heavy are very scarce.

In alluding to the crop thus far treated of, we have only a passing word to add. It has proved about as inferior as any we have ever handled; and so far as rich fleshy leaf is taken into consideration, such descriptions have been rare. Of the future we are without reliable data. The most definite information is that the Western growth is decidedly better in quality than the previous, the leaf being well matured. The production of the West, that is, Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri, will be from 60,000 to 65,000 hhds. But should the present status of the

two former States continue, less than two-thirds of the crop can be reached. There are probably remaining in those sections, of the old crop, about 6,000 to 10,000 hhds. Where no interruption has occurred, the markets are swept clean, manufacturers having to resort to the East for supplies. With regard to Virginia, almost total darkness prevails. The best information we can obtain is that the crop may reach 50,000 hhds.; some estimates are lower. Of the previous growth the larger portion remains in bondage. The undetermined condition of the federal authority in the seceding States, together with extent of planting for the coming season, involves the whole question of future prices, of which all must judge for themselves. We invite attention to our usual statistics below, which are necessarily imperfect from causes above stated, being in some instances conjectural, and, with regard to Virginia, entirely so.
