"What makes Cuban tobacco the
best2'
It is owing to the climate. If
tobacco plants are brought from
Cuba, and set out in Connecticut,
they VIII change their normal state
in a few weeks. They will draw
new juices from the ground and alb
sorb new gases from the air, and
the tobacco viii be inferior. 1t viii
become rank.
To what countries do we export
tobacco.
We send about $4,000 hogsheads
to France Ga hogshead weighs from
500 to 1000 pouuds,) 10000 to
Spain, $4,000 to Ktaly, 10000 10
Germany, 5000 to Austria, and
from 10000 to 10000 to England
10000 fourtsen-hundred pound
This, at fifteen cents
per pound, would amount to $21,-
which goes into the hands
Of the producer. $4O.O00,OOO, I
should say goes to the retail dealer.
This for chewing and snufing alone
and that is only the commence
