tho trade in manufactured tobacco No took oe~e

tobacco, and in that connection We publishsd =
tracts from an ordinance passed by the City Ceun-

to present few additional remarks upon the latte
point, in which We expect to show by faoh-the
accuracy of which cannot DO dispu ted-that Cinca
matt 10 by far the most desirable point in the w eat
for tobacco market, and that, with proper ware-
house facilities, and satsfactory municipal regula
tions, Cincinnati must, within few years, become
the leading market west Of the Allegheny Noun

In eastern Ohio is grown tho 'yeow leaf" which

on the Kentucky river, and in the vicinity Of Car

natl and considerable portion of tho products pass
through our CITY, and this trade may Of course bo
controlled here, if only establish market.
besides, we may secure tho greater portion Of Tia
tobacco raieed on the Big Kanawha, in Indiana, ana
Thus it ia seen there exists all around us the ms.
terials with VIII CHI to establish a most iinportank
tobacco market, and thereby bring 10 ossy
large and valuable trade.
Tue planters who ave been accustomed To soil in
the interior markets. convenient to their respective
farms. or 10 ship to New York via New Orleans Or
Louisville, will naturally inquire, before entertain
ing an idea OF seeking a market here, what ad-
vantages are, and il Cincinnati merch ANITA offer
greater inducements than those of other Western Or
Southern cities.
In ar1a fn ~ 4.
cd on this point, viii remark that We claim al
vantages which will enable purchaser Of tobae,o
in this market to pay higher price than tho same
article will net the seller in any other market
From the moment hogshead of tobacco is pask-
ed, until it reaches tho manufacturer, every day IL

it's handled, adds to the first cost of the article:
and this, with the freight, insurance, and other
charges. all have to he paid indirectly by tho pro-
ducer This is plain principal of political economy.
Now. If by bringing tobacco from Tennessee, Ksa-
lucky, Ohio, and Indiana, TO this point, and heaos
distributing to New York, Boston, PhiladelphiA.
Baltimore. and European countries, it can be de-
lvered in less time, and Mt less expense than whom
