The GRowING CRoP. From Kentucky and Ten
the rather better for the growing
crop; still the planting in many sections very
late, and in places not completed consequent
ly will require heightened season to mature. Even.
with this advantage, it is very questionable whether
the crop can reach average, while the quality bids
fair to be inferior, from above mentioned. The
same remarks will apply with equal force to the Ma
ryland and Ohio crops. Our latest advices from Vr
ginia rather favorable but far from encour-
aging, for an average growth. Within the last week
or two, frequent rains have enabled those having
plants to set them. But unless the season be length
ened beyond the orddary PERIOD this late planting
can only result in the production OF an ordinary or
immature article.
FOREIGN TOBACCO. The market is sill bare of
both Cuba and Havana the latter article meets With
quick sale at high figures.
Seed leaf and Florida is mostly held By dealers.
The stock is light. Respectfully,
T. & H. MESSENGER.
