Baltimore Tobacco Market,

Some time ago took occasion TO show our
readers according to The calculation of intelIi
gent editor in Louisville, Kentucky that the Bait.
more and Ohio railway, in connection with the
river, was decidedly the most advantageous route
Tor the transportation OF cotton TO the .eaboard
from the interior planting States.
Baltimore has not hitherto striven to make itself
an extensive market for this article; but, ever
since the foundation of Maryland, even as an En-
gsh province, tobacco Las constituted one of the
great staples of our trade. 1t now occupies the
second rank in the United States as a market for
plant; having yearly inspection, for the cult
vaos, of the entire crops of two States, reaching
from DO, 000to $4,000 hogsheads, which are export-
ell hence directly 10 foreign countries. Large
| amounts of capital are concentrated here in the
purchase aud manufacture of the article. Balti-
more is the residence of The representatives of the
| largest tobacco houses of Europe. We have the
most extensive tire-proof warehouses for insp,c-
tlon under the eye OF State officers; and while no
charge ma de for storage until after twelve months
the warehouse expenses are paid by the purchaser

Here, then, we think are The elements of what
must ultimately become the first tobacco mart in
the United States. BY the last census Maryland
produced in 1850, q, .2sl lbs; Virginia S. &c.
492 lbs; N. Carolina l2,05s, l47 lbs; Tenness,
20, l44, $50 lbs. EKentucky S. 765 25o Ibs. Ohio
lO,48O,967 lbs; and Missouri 1893, S14. Com.
pairing these returns with those of 1910, we find
that Kentucky, Ohio, and Missouri were the only
great producing States which had augment their
crops within the len years. The old tobacco States

far better ratio than Virginia.
Now, if Ohio, Kentucky and Virginia are 10 be-

american market in time 10 come, and il, as is
highly probable, their rail and river cummunica-

not understand why Baltimore with is nucleus of
Inc celebrated Maryland crop, should not assume
the mastery of tile market. The transportation
through New Orleans, the storage in that damn
climate, and shipnen, by the gulf are known TO

The Rupture between Turkey and Austria.
The tone oftgthe leading London journals gives
color TO the statement that the Porte will have the
support of England in resisting the demands thnt
have been made by the Austrian government. The
cesslon of har on the Adriatic rs proposed by
austria, involves too many political and CONNER
clalconSiceraions to be permitted by France or
England. s-a s.Oi~F-,F-Ila .ssti,sss-f -
