The Indian Weed.
"Plant divine Of rarest virtue.

t~I~ utOUte " TUTeSt DtFtuo'
We have taken occasion, as the tobacco season Of
1860 is about opening to collect all the information
in our reach, in reference to the stocks Of North
American Tobacco in the markets of tie world
and the probable yield Of the present crop of 1859,
in order to lay it before our friends who are inter
csted either in the sale or purchase of the Weed.
That they may be better able to judge as to the
probable of trade and range of prices of the
ensuing season.
We give below the Stocks of Tobacco in the open
markets of the world, which are colated from the
reliable Circulars of Messrs. Eyre Evans & Co.,
Liverpool; D. II. Watjen & Co., Bremen r. L.
Maitland Co., New York, and others, and from
the Prices Current of New York, New Orleans and
Baltimore. In these estimates, we take no note of
the heavy shipments of Tobacco known to be afoat
"h transtu' to foreign countries, nor of the heavy
Stocks of Tobacco in the Virginia Warehouses, at
Lynchburg and other points.

Offered to the public and it has already performed
many wonderful cures. It has gained high and
enviable reputation in many of the States and the
day is not far distant when the praises of American

In writing about medicine we are aware we

be written to the efficacy of this wonderful remedy
who will testify that CRO0KES ELECTRIC

failed TO do If you doubt its superior qualities ask
those who have used it, many of them live in our

only cost small amount to purchase bottle, and
you can never he convinced of its true merits until
You try ii for yourself,
We want every badly to try it for themselves, and
if it proves to be good they can recommend it Il
Others If it fails they may condemn it to the world
If the great popularity and rapidly increasing
