OUK TOHACCO MARKET.
Ballard Warelionee-IIeary Rale.
Thosalcs ycsltrJity at tho Ballard Ware
house, comprised 40 hhds of all grades, and
ss there was but ono rejection, and tho
ownors of tho tobacco on ale wero
nearly nil present, wo prcsumo tho prices
obtained wero all satisfactory. Wo noticed
a number of now face.) on the bourds and
sorno ihrco or four new buyers, which
caused quite a flutter among the old hab
itues, and tho inquiry was freoly circulated
'as to "what's tbo latest tobacco news." Tho
truth of tho matter Is, our market is being
looked to, to fill tho vacuum felt in other
markets.
Tho past week, with tho exception of
one day, has been very unpropitioua for
tho handling of tobaaco, in conscqusnce of
which the receipts have been light.
We quoto tho market very firm at to
day's prices, but cannot see any change oi
importance since our last.
Foreign buyers nro filling their orders
vory sparingly, if at all, at tho seaboards,
anil by' a careful Inspection of all the mar
kets we see no margin for speculation be
tween tho homo and seaboard market?
Planters reoTizo "moro bya quick return
of sales, jn the homo market than they
would from nn advanced prlco in a foreign
market, calculating tho tlmo (hoy lay out
of the use of the proceeds of their sales.
Wo cannot calcttlato on any material
chnngointho market during tho season
and would advise a conversion of the
present crop into money ns early as prac
ticable.
From tho Bureau of Agriculture,
aro advised or the preliminary estimate or
the crop of 1870 at 400,000,000 pounds,
showing a doorcase as compared with 1800,
which showed a product of -131,183,001
pounds : but this decrease will havo no
stimulating effect on tho general market,
as tho demand from Franco and Germany
has been materially curtailed by tho recent
difficulties In those countries.

wholly successful where special attention
is not given to these particulars.
Superintendent Harris, of St. Louli, In
his last quarterly report to tho Hoard of
Public Schools of that city, says:
"It Is impossible to over-estimate tho
valuo of etrict school discipline in forming
correct nanus in iiioyutirg.
"Tho basis of all virtue Ii regularity
and punctuality. Children nro taught that
absenco and tardiness from school, unless
stckr.ctt U the excuse, is n vice, ami not
to bo tolerated, 'i'hr consequenco ij that
the lesion of self-denial Is forcibly im
pressed upon their minds throughout their
school days, and it becomes a habit. The
averago numbor of years which pupils at
tend uur schools Is fivo, and thisitsutUeicnl

"Good members of society are produced
by such discipline as dovclopes in tho pupil
tho power of mastering his likes and dis
likes, and choosing n reasonable course.''
