China is decidedly a novelty, and
therefore it Is worthy of record that
during the past month there have
been received large arrivals of this

void Of flavor. At present it might,
perhaps, DO premature to speculate
as to the probability Of q large trade
being done between England and
China in tobacco; but the imports
which have come to hand show, at
any rate, that the Celestials can cul>
the weed pretty successfully
The Tobacco Trade Rcriew.
