Richmond Markets, Feb. 17, 1862. The market continues with little change in any respect. Sugar has an upward tendency, though our quotations are as yet not altered. The apprehension that there may be some interruption of communication with the Southwest has caused some stiffness in the market. Tobacco continues firm and active. In the matter of seeds it will be seen that the quotations are very high. Our farmers will learn a lesson from this that will be of service to them. The seeds were chiefly brought from the North before the war, and now it is found that the supply is utterly inadequate to the demand. The money market remains quiet and there is a plenty nay a superabundance. Stocks are firm. Specie has advanced. Apples — very high and scarce; we quote Pippins $10a12 per bbl.; other kinds, $8a10. Bacon — Stock light and firm at 23 to 25 for hog round; Hams, 23a25 cents per lb. Butter — common, 30a33; fair to good, 33 to 37; choice, 42 cents. Bread — Navy
