CaiiuatOa9f 7OJaoco IN Baden "A correspondent at Ha-
den writes as follows in regard to the formation
pany to promote the cultivation of tobacco in that Grand
Duchy:
joint-stock company is now being formed in Baden
ior the purpose of euatng and dealing in tobacco The
capital Is hxed at two millions of FORMS In 900 shares
OF 500 forms each divided into two series The first
nes alone, OF Million will be issued for the present
and subscribers to ii will have the privilege for subsc
bing for half the shares of the second SERIES the
malnder To be reserved for the managers These w
@. W. Auderst of Heidelberg Baron Babo president Of
the Central Gardens of the Agricultural Society of
Carlsruhe Mr.. Albeat Haas and w G. Muller mer-
chants, Carsruhe; Mr. Won Haber consul of Wurtem-
berg and MIR. f. Haber, consul for Bremen Carlsruhe
and Mr. Lanter, capitalist of Baden An interest Of FIVE
per cent is to be paid nstaments and of the net
revenue five per cent is TO be carried TO reserve fund
The managers and other capitalists of Baden have sub
scribed for 100, 600 horns and 200 900 orins
being subscribed for by the public generally The
cultivation OF tobacco extensive plantations on
iafg9 SCALE and under intelligent direction Ger
tainy promises favorable results and probably
sociaon OF capital and experience this enterprise will
prove more beneficial and satisfactory than most OF the
undertakings OF the present day The augmentation in
the prices of tobacco during series of years is the
sequence OF The unforeseen increase of its consumption
particularly in cigars is possible that bad crops in
America may have been partially the cause but the con-
santlyadvancing quotations is reasonable proof that
the production Is not adequate TO the demand
The extension of the cultivation Of tobacco in the Uni
proportionally greater in middle southern Germany
and should the culture of IL extend to all parts of the
world, species of tobacco will remain the property Of
the valley of the Rhine and Of few other districts That
particular kind is the leaf tobacco peculiarly suited
for cigar Wrappers The price of this quality has attained
the greatest advance and the the cultivation Of
tobacco shall be extended in other countries and the
sumption increased, the higher will range the price OF
wrappers, so necessary to give it the agreeable form for
The valley Of the Rhine, with its climate and
just degree of humidity its congenia soil and redundant
population is thought to be equal all things considered
to the best countries for the cultivation Of tobacco This
estimate appears sustained by the fact that at the Paris Ex
position the gold medal awarded to Baron Babo for
tobacco grown Carlsruhe which declared to be
superior to that furnished by the best tobacco countries in
the world the West Indies not accepted AT the
time the silver medal granted for tobacco grown in
Briesgau, in the same duchy.
The managers of the company, in addition to
lands rescued by long leases have already entered upon
the purchase Of some six hundred acres which, from the
good quality Of the SOIL and rather low price paid will
prove profitable acquisition Baron Babo and Mr. Ianter
both experienced agrcutusts, and especially rersed in
the cultivation of tobacco will have the management OF
the grounds, whilst the trading operations of the com
pany TO be conducted by W. Auderst of Heidelberg.
1t is intended not merely to maintain but TO advance the
high reputation of Baden tobacco producing country
and have doubt the company will do much towards
accomplishing that laudable object.
