northeast and the more disastrous, because more
general, drought in other sections where tobacco IS
chiefly grown, will cause heavy falling of in the
supplies of the next twelve months, as compared
with those for the year just ended when the receipts
exceeded the average of former years, 10000 hhds

prices of the years 56'57 have greatly stimulated
the cultivation of Tobacco in this State and North
Carolina evinced by the heavy receipts Just al
luded to- and contributions will be received tins sea-
son from counties in which, until recently, little or
no Tobacco has been raised. With these consldera-
tions before us, we inclined to believe that tn
deficiency of this years crop may be estimated at
about lO, 600 hhds. The reports from the West are
more favorable
