Office OF the Ballard Tobacco Warehouse, !
Cairo, Illinois, April LIST, 1872.

we ala the same uhle lnst year. lot lne
reason given above. We have, however,
purchased very large quantity from
the planter, delivered at the warehouse in
bulk, and this we shall continue to do, ms
we think il is a great convenience to small
planters. They are thereby enable to re-
alize on every pound of their crop at al
most any time, and without the vexatious
delays Of securing an advance and placing
themselves in the power of the party maxi
ing the advance.
Prices for low grades and shipping leaf
have steadily advanced throughout the
season, and we see no cause, at this time,
from our standpoint for any decline and
when we consider that the manufactures
throughout the entire country are nearly
all at a stand-still, awaiting the result OF
an anticipated change in the revenue
laws the stock Of manufactured tobacco
growing less in consequence, the over-esti-
mate of tie crop of 20, the well-known
short crop of Il, we can safely say
that a. soon ~ the tax ques-
ton is definitely settled planters will
realize good price for ali grades of man
ufacturing leaf.
With the strong competition from sur
rounding markets that has been es:ab-
lished for the past ten or twenty years,the
extraordinary exertions to MAINTAIN the
same by heavy money advances to the
planter the purchasing Of few crops in
different localities at rery high figures to
inauce others to ship to the markets where
these purchases were made for, would
seem to u causual observer to have ten
dency to break down new market. This,
however, has not been our experience Our
market is increasing in quantity, quality
and importance. We have not found it
necessary to advance IA dollar on the pres
ent crop, to secure the selling of it. We
have worked and are still working for the
interest of the planter. Wherever he is
fully protected, there he will ship his
tobacco and there the buyers will come.
1t is doubly our duty and interest to sup.
port and defend the planter from all
schemes and combinations of "rings and
CORNERS
In our market there are no arbitrary
rules TO trammel the planter in his free
will to manage his own affairs. His to-
bacco is subject to his control until sold
and the money in his pocket fla new
regulation is to be adopted he is consulted.
Our board of buyers are principally man
ufacturers and foreign agents, who know
exactly what they want and are always
ready and willing to pay just what an arti-
Gle is worth
We have labored hard to have all to
bacco shipped from the warehouse in strict
ly "good order and condition. and by so
doing have made a reputation for Ballard
Warehouse Tobacco as it is now quoted
in Europe. This we, as we'll as the plan
ter should Justly feel proud
of, In this connection, we will state, that
we have now and are filling an order from
Belgium for | 500 hhds. Ballard warehouse
tobacco.
We are pleased to congratulate our pa
irons on the perceptiblc Improvement in
handling their tobacco This is now read
lily noticed in Illinois, Missouri and West
Tennessee.
With our present prospects, Cairo in Il |
few years will be the leading inland to-
bacco market of tho west. The Cairo Il
Nincennes railroad will be finished by
the first of November. 1t runs through
the finest tobacco growing country of H.
limos. The Cairo n st. Louis railroad, TO
be- finished by the first of August, will
give us dirct connection with Missouri ,
planters. The extension of the Mississippi
CENTRAL to Cairo from jackson, Tennessee G
asses through its entire length continu.
US tobacco field. The Elzabcthtown and I
'aducah road will eventually connect at q
AFRO with the Mississippi Central, and c
it'll all the combinations Of railroads,
living us speedy and easy access to and
heap transportation from the vast tobacco
limitations of Indiana, Illinois, Mis-
ouri, Kentucky and Tennessee. Is it TO !
Q marvellcd at that Cairo should lay
lain to what justly is hers by natural
nd artificial means? Whom tobacco
5 once here, it can be distributed to all
quarters of the globe by the great outlet I
o tho sea,-thc Mississippi river-cheap- !
r than by any other route in the world. !
)ur shipping facilities, which
lways have their influence upon '
he price of tobacco, have no equal in |
'oint of cheap rates.
We can ship any day of the year to
'ew Orleans at fair and equitable rates 7
2 so the minimum and S. the maximum, /
A being the price now per hogshead,
While short distance above US on the l
'h'o river 81 80 have been offered and
'oa's decline to take it. At presen, the
'r''e TO New York by rail is 55c per 100
we ask the planter into whose hands
his may fall, to ponder and weigh well
