Having nearly finished my trip through the tobac-
growing regions of Missouri Kentucky aud Tennessee
come to the following conclusion as to this years crop
viz:
Kentucky and Tennessee ee............... 10000 hhds
Missouri. 1000 do
Indiana, Illinois, etc. 5000 do.
The quantity Of old tobacco remaining the Cumber-
land river pretty well ascerained not to exceed 5000
hhds and the Ohio 5000 hhds that the entire
cepts in 1854 Of New Orleans st Louis and Louisville
fall short OF 81 600 hhds good deal will be
quired for manufacturing purposes at home. This is
great falling oil compared with the receipt OF IS 600 hhds
New Orleans alone this year without including the
ceipts Of St Louis Louisville Cincinnati, New FORK and
other places.
