Tobacco in New York.

From the Herald Of Thursday we clip
the following highly significant article IN
relation to this grea. Missouri staple: The
cotton question has, absorbed SO puch at
tsntiou whenever the commercial aspects
Of the war have been considered,l that few
people have. thought Of another article-to-
bacoo-upon which the war, will produce
quite as marked effects, Tobacco has been
pronounced BY political economists 10 be
second only 70 salt among the nec.s.sties
Of human life. Ofthat necessary the Uni
ted States, and chiefly the. seeded portion
Of them, are the chief producers. Assum-
ing that the United State, produce in round
numbers 200, 900 hhds of Tobacco each
year, perhaps 10000 hid, ere grown
within the limits of the Confederate States.
Virginia alone yields an average of 10000
hhd.. Ths war dsprives the world Of this
supply. The exports Of Tobacco from yir-
ginia and North Carolina begins in the
spring and last through the summer, it is
doubtful if one third Of the crop of 1860
had been shipped. when the United States
blockade sealed The Virginia ports. Since
blockade the price has risen 100 per osnt
here. while the warehouses in Virginia are
ehoksd with hoghe,ds and packages, un-
salsable at any price. So far as the North
i, concerned, this state Of thing. will pro-
duce no greater Inconvenience than prob
able advance in the price Of an article which
every one consumes. Ohio, Connecticut,
Pennsylvania. Maryland. Kentucky, and
Missouri all produces tobacco, and the
northern States and Canada will have to
look to them for a supply. Connec.
ticut, especially in which State much
attention has lately been devoted to tobacco
growing, viii reap q handsome harvest
from the change. But Europe viii suffer
very severly from the blockade. In the
6rst place, an enormous advance in the
price Of tobacco in Europe seems inevita-
Bile, and in European countries, where
small incomes and slender weges. rule the
advinoe will be severely felt. Again, we
ship TO Europe, on an average, something
over $2O, 0oO,o 900 worth Of tobacco every
year-about three.6fths the consumption Of
the maritime countries. On this import
four governments those Of France, Eng
land, Spain and Holland-rai.s an average
revenue of $64 .ooO, 900. q, follows:
British duty on tobacco -" -. S21 ,00e .00t
Dutch duty on Tobacco. :. .-','...-. 10000 600
Revenue from monopoly in France... $4,000 ,00(
Revenue from m Onopoly.in SPAIN. 5000 y0Ot
Total. ...... ...... $500. .....- 500 ,OOO.OUt
These are round figures fair average
for several years.
We hear from Vrrginir that the planters
are putting in less tobacco than, usual thii
year, and are dsvoting greater breadth o.
land 10 corn and wheat. Our northern far.
mers must take care 10 increase their TO.
Dacco plantations in consequence.
