The reports Of damage to the tobacco crop by the
late frosts have given rise to great diversity OF
opinion as to the future price of that staple, and
there is general craving for Information upon the
| subject. We, therefore, extrad from an exchange
the following letter, giving the opinion Of a Ken
| lucky dealer upon the subject:
| Stocks of tobacco are small at our seabOard, ant
| all will be needed-have no fears about it 1 hope
| your factors will hold fast and be firm at presen
| valuations. The new crop cannot exceed two
thirds of last year. and only half of it gOOd-Othe
half green, frosted etc. Stand by your guns an,
| have no fears. All tObaccOs now on hand OF Oli
crop are needed; rest assured OF this fact. Full.
10000 hhds. are required annually abroad, and tn
present crop just housed will be totally inadequat
to the home and foreign demand next year. Amer
| can consumption requires not less than 70 900 {
| 100000 hhds. My opinion is that tobacco neve
occupied more safe and solid position. Tn
American crop last year was about 200 600 hhds.-a
of il needed, and yet inadequate to the demand
The present crop of American will not exceed $50
600 hhds., and while years supply is maintaine
abroad, yet the position of tobacco is clearly inde
pendent and above revuisiOn.
In computing the future price Of the hog Pre-
duct of this country, due regard must be given
all matters tending to either increase diminis
the demand therefore, abroad, and therefor
| extract the following from recent article in tn
London Times upon the preserved mutton o
| Australia:
The most recent letter from Australia Represented
the demand for Australian preserved meats to b
greater than the supply. The demand is likely {
become still larger If an experiment just enteret
| upon in one OF the London suburbs be successful
| On Wednesday evening about $50 artisans and thei
wives sat down to a dinner of the preserved mea
| prepared by the wives after proper instructions
| The meat did not come to the table il the form
| joints, but in various makeup forms. The resul
was that the men pledged themselves to use tn
meat for the next six weeks as portion OF thei
meat food The price Of the meat is somethin
under the cheapest of the most inferior parts Of tn
meat in the London markets Penny dinners ar
given of this Australian meat daily in an easter
