Cofion.-rhe crop of 1929 has been found to
amouut 976. S4j bales, exceeding that OF the pre-
ceeding year by ll9, l0l bales, and was distributed

more than 100, 600 bales the original estimate,
yet there was an Improvement i'll prices there OF
near twenty per cent, which with occasional f1uc-

With a material increase In consumption and
some falling of in supplies from India, it is be-
Ieyed the stock in England will be found less than
at the close of the preceding year. In France
it will perhaps be larger, some interruption to
manufactures having arisen from political events
in that country; but in the Northern parts Of
Europe they were unusually small, and in the
aggregate on the continent will not probably en-

Tobacco. --The crop Of Kentucky Tobacco of
1929, was found to be much larger than the pre-
cedlns; that of Virginia was fair average
Prices have remained low in Europe and the U.
States. and there has been fair, though not act
i've demand. The new crop of Kentucky. it is
believed. will be found materially deficient in
quantity. which may have some influence on the
value of that particular description, before the
close of the coming season; but there is no room,
under existing stocks, for any material improve
ment.
Rice.-The crop of 1929 was large, and
throughout the year 1880 prices have been low,
but with some advance towards fall. The new
crop is considered fair average, and prices are
still comparatively moderate.
