TOBACCO TRADE.
Extract Of a letter from an .Gme,icaa gentle
man Of Baltimore, no,o in Bremen, to ship
Perof tobacco in that City, dated
BREMEN, Jan. e5, 1924.
Having been requested by .mr. Frederick
Rodewald to examine 4 parcel of tobacco con-
signed by yon to him, have found, after close
examination, the followingt to be the result, be-
tween the Bremen u American samples, viz:No.
125, Il difference of4O per cent. in favor of the
American sanple-this hogshead is ftlseiypachc-
Ell, as perceived tobacco in the same, between
the American breaks, worth about or 4 dollars.
No. 1913, this hhd. is packed in the same man.

difference to be full Sc 2-3 per cent. No. I43,

| The above state Of your tobacco, evidently
shews great fraud, which / perceive by the
hogsheads, to haye.been principally done by the
pianters-the samples, however, of some have
| no doubt been changed, or the inspection has
been very unfair. Nos. 1875, 122, las, l47, i'd,
and l3l, are UNANIMOUSLY false packed, the man
ner OF which you have often seen, therefore |
can only say it is done in the usual way, by pack
ing trash between the Inspectors breaks in the
fnetobaccos. Ihaye also found, in hhds 1921
and 90, considerable quantity of green to-
bacco as lining, which does not appear in the
samples taken with you.
| Iou may depend ON The samples having been
taken correctly By = n. RS coopcrs, as have
often witnessed the manner and found them to
| be correct.
