will not occur again for as many more, must
admit the laws heretofore governing supply and
demand is in this nullitied. Had any other
article of commerce exhibited the same features
which our staple has for the past six months, it
would have advanced rapidly, and been active
throughout the markets of the world. Yet in Ger
many and Holland they are pleased to realise
cents for article worth here 7. No part or por-
ton of the advance which took place here during
last season is attributable to them. 1t grew ex-
cusively out of the scarcity of Kentucky Tobacco
forcing our home manufacturers to take Maryland
and Ohio as substitute. This demand was con
fined principally to heavy dark leaf. Such sorts
not generally liked by the exporter, advanc-
ing the rates to say so to 100 per cent of their for
mer value, whilst the current shipping kinds re-
mained almost stationary, and now, especially
the fair grades, at about the rates realized twelve
months ago. ] mention this to show you how en-
trey independent of Europe this market has been
for all kinds of Tobacco upon which an advance
has been realized and sustained. So lar no move
ment upon that side Of the water has yet taken
place at all corresponding to existing circum-
stances here, and it remains to be seen if they
get your crops at their own prices or not. With
unfavorable advices received by each arrival from
abroad, we have circular letter from house in
Amsterdam, which places affairs in more pleas
ing light, and although containing some errors in
the estimates of stocks, is in its results correct
Promising thatthe writer, Mr.. Bonninger has been
for some years past of our largest buyers here,
and should be entirely with the trade.

fiAMsTERDAM, January 81, 1851.
s'For several years past the stock Of Tobacco in
all Continental markets have not been as much re-
duced as they are at this moment. This circum-
stance in connection with the position of the Ame
rican markets, from where we can expect only
very small arrivals before the new tobacco comes
/ to market, has caused owners to hold back in
ticipation Of better prices. A speculative lot of
/ $50 hhds. Maryland common to good common
offered for sale in Rotterdam week since at 80
centimes, price which is considered too high to
animate buyers to come forward at the present
of the year, when all operations limited.
Though no large transactions have ranspired since
the beg inning OF this year, markets remain firm,
and there is no doubt our Tobacco market will show
great activity in month or two when manufacture
ers in the interior will be obliged to buy their
stocks are very much reduced.
considering the small crop of Maryland To-
bacco and the present stocks as well in your coun-
try in all Continental markets, you will find the
whole quantity hardly large enough to meet
years consumption.

GA years consumption of this country and Bre-
men, amounting to "A, $50 hhds, which will re-
duce the stocks of Maryland Tobacco in Baltimore
and our continental markets at the close of the pre-
sent year to no hhds.
ssWe, therefore, have all reasons to expect much
higher prices for Maryland Tobacco than we have
known for some years past, and can induce
friends to make shipments to this market early in
the season, with view to give very satisfactory
results
ssThe unsettled state of politics in Germany is
chief cause of the activity of our markets.
We only hope that the unreasonable leaders of the
proposed German Union don't go far as to abol-
sh the present free system of Manufacturing To-
bacco. In the latest newspaper we observe that
Austria intends to propose at the present session
of German Princes at Dresden to establish Iobac-
co Regies in all German States, and the present
history of Germany shows a proposition from Aus
ria not likely to be contradcted, believe 1t not
impossible to see in Short time, all over the con-
tinent, Tobacco Regies.
ssWe hope the Government of the United States
will take early such steps as to prevent the Ger
man Governments to monopoze the Tobacco
trade the consequence of which must be very
inous for all your Tobacco growing countries. By
establishing Regies the general consumption of
! Tobacco must diminish, but particularly of Ame
rican Tobacco, as the Governments will do all
they can to induce land owners to cultivate To-
bacco.'

1t is supposed our home dealers will take from
) to 1000 hhds. of the Maryland and Ohio crops
this season reducing the quantity left for export to
this extent. Should Kentucky keep at present
rates there will be an active demand for all your
heavy Tobacco suitable for manufacturing pur-
noses, Pack it as uniform and heavy as possible
without bruisng the leaf, and II you must send to
market early, let it be this sort.
AS to the propriety of growing large crop this
season. | would not hazard an opinion. Every
planter can Judge how far his own interest would
be promoted by this course.

that would not cost more than one-fifth OF the I'M
