IHE FUTURE PRICE OF ToBACCo.-The reports o.
damage to the tobacco crop has given rise to fears as
to the future price of that article Kentucky dealer
writes as follows to the St. Louis Republican
"Stocks of tobacco small at our seaboard and
all will be needed-have no fears about it, hope
your factors will hold fast and be firm at present vau.
atoms The new crop cannot exceed two-thirds of
last year, and only half of it good-other half green,
frosted etc. Stand by your guns and have 10 fears
All tobaccos now on hand of the old crop are needed
rest assured Of this fact. Fny 100 900 hogsbeads
are required annually abroad, and the present crop
just housed will be totally inadequate to the home and
foreign demand next year. American consumption
requires not less than $4,000 to 100000 hogsheads
My opinion is that tobacco occupied more safe
and solid position. She American crop last year was
about 100000 hogsheads-all of it needed and yet
inadequate to the demand. The present crop of
American will not exceed 900 hogsheads and while
years supply is maintained abroad, yet the position
OF tobacco is clearly independent and above re-
vulson."

A STRANGE SToRY.-Our friends of the Hebrew faith
will doubtless feel much interested in knowing Of
tain strange developments which, according to the
Austrian newspapers, have manifested themselves in
Jerusalem. These developments refer to the coming
this year of the Jewish Messiah The story told, is
singular enough 1tappears that the rabbi of Paka,
town in Hungary, has received letters from Jerusalem
which state that toward the end of last month column
of fire was seen near the ruins of Solomon's Temple,
and that strong voice heard which addressed it
self to Israelte who worshipiDg there at the
time This voice warned the devotee of the coming
this year. of the Messiah and declared that the Israel
tiles should repent, and be observant of the
ligion Of their fathers The man so addressed spoke
prophetically of what be had heard. Thereupon the
