The Victoria (Texas) Advocate relates
the following singular story, and says it
can be substaniia,ed BY the testimony Of
many Of the oldest and moot Respectable
citizens Of Jackson county in that Stale:

The principal reason Cor believing j, Ia

MISSOURI STAPLES.

Tobacco cultivation in Missouri has DE-
creased very much in the last year, owing
to the difficulty of navigating the Missouri
river, the la,eness of The arrival Of the
crops at market, and their consequent de.
probation in value. The tobacco crop Of
tina, State in 1S47 was l6,S00 hhds., in
ls4s, 10000, showing decrease Of G, 300
bids. For the same reason, we suppose,
hemp cultivation seems to have decreased,
il We may Judge from the quantity receiv.
ed at ST. Louis, which inii SAT was ~ .222
bales, while in lS4s it was only 47,l52, a
decrease Of 25,070 bales. In contrast to
this, the pork trade has increased during
the same period SO, l66 bbls.
