public Of Monday says the quantity of leaf
tobacco In the State is 8 matter of guess, but it
can be nearly apprOximated. Our commission
merchants estimate it at thirty thousand hogs.
heads. OF this, about ten thousad hogsheads
are in Lynohburg; the balance is at Farmville,
Danville, and in possession Of the planters in
the county. There are few hundred hogsheads
in Richmond. That in Lynchburg is chiefly Of
nondescript grades. most Of the bright leaf for
which that market is noted, having been manu-
faetured during the war. In the counties on
the south side Of the Upper james, much Of the
tobacco in the hand Of the planters is English
shipping The quantity Of tobacco on hand in
Virginia would have been far greater but that
the production has been discouraged and re-
strained by State legislation during the war
On the second Of April, about ten thousand
hogsheads were burned In this city, by order Of
the Confederate authorities. As compared with
the stock of leaf tobacco, the stock Of mAnufac-
tured is large, but il is so scattered in individual

expression of warmest sympathy and unaffected
sorrow.
