The Tobacco Leaf says Of the prospects of
the tobacco crop: The frost mentioned in
our last issue only affected the tobacco in
bottom lands, but planters we're frightened
into general cutting, and the Western
crop may accordingly be called housed
much of it in an unripe condition. The
frost in Virginia has lessened the crop per-
haps 5000 hogsheads, the estimates now
being reduced to $4,000 hogsheads, or only
5000 more than the last. Altogether, the
estimates Of this years crops varies from
fifty to seyenty-fye per cent. Of those OF
last year. The Commissioner of Agricul-
ture at Washington calculates, after cares
full investigation, Kentucky at "a per cent.
less, and Missouri and other varieties North
of the Ohio at 10 per cent. mOreihan those
of last year. The Commissioner, however
does not profess to give perfectly reliable
data, az, with all his facilities, his esti
mates are more or less conjectural. As
showing the opinion of dealers and Others
on this point, we quote from the last
monthly circular Of Charles B. Fallenstein
& Son, Of this city. 1t says: Late Mis-
souri, files express hope Of from one-third
to one-half Of last years crop Offine quail
ity. Kentucky accounts are unpromising.
From Ohio the accounts are most unfayor-
able, and the production Is estimated at not
more than 10000 hhds, against 5000 last
year. Tennessee promises no more than
half Of last years crop, and only one-third
Of this. the early planting, of really good
substance, but Of Indifferent length. Mary
land, if not prevented by frost, will yield a
two-thirds crop, In Indiana not more than
half cropi is expected" TO sum up the
entire crop situation, the circular says
1--WE cannot, with safety, calculate on more
than half a crop throughout the West, aud
of this on no more than one-third of really
desirable quality, and this the early plant.
