By the way; how can such respectable
papers as the Boovile Observer and several
others in this State, permit themselves TO
be imposed on so far as TO publish the long
advertisement OF the New York Ledger for

us in teaching these Eastern gentlemen to
pay living price for their advertising, or
to get hone in Missouri.

Tobacco.

Mr. Reader, of New York, in his circu-
lar of the LIST, says:
In the face of large and good crops in this
country, producers cannot make up their
minds, after having made very high prices
for last years crops, to sell their produce at
rates SO much below those, and already we
hear of purchases made in Kentucky and
the Seed Leaf districts at prices which we
apprehend will not prove remunerative in
the end. With crops of 200 900 hhds in
Kentucky, Virginia. Maryland and Ohio,
against 100000 hhds last year, and fair
stock of old left in the most of the places Of
consumption; OF As 600 cases OF Seed Leaf
Tobacco, againts $4,000 last yesr, Of which
owing to the crippled state OF our manuiac-
lures, there is sufficient on hand to supply
the demand until the new crop has fomen-
ted; and considering the general disarrnnge-
ment of mercantile affairs all over, and the
consequent prevailing distrust in the
stability of things, it must be sef-evident
that low prices only can reanimate business
as well as confidence.
These remarks also apply to the produce
of the Island of Cuba, and it is to be hoped
that after having sobered down from the ex-
citement we have labored under for some
time, it will be admitted that the prices
paid there for relatively poor qualities were
extravagant, and that henceforth value will
have TO keep even sep with quality and
surrounding circumstances. M. RAIDER.
