LOUISVILLE, November 2.-The tobacco
year Just closed will be as memorable as its
immediate predecessor, though it will be
remembered with very different feelings. A
season of shrinks ge and loss every where to
those engaged in handling the staple, it is

values and profits in trade which distin.

vast majority of our own population and
the large preponderance of capital interest
ed in it, the results of the year will far more
than redeem its character. The successful
crops and declining prices of 1873 afford
better grounds for congratulation than the
ruined crop and buoyant market of 1874.
