previous years; this fact, however, does moi
necessarily limit the production to that pre-

The gathering of the crop has been about
completed, without any mischances, though
perhaps one-tenth to one-eighth Of the crop
isyet in the ground. We have heard of no
sppreciable loss from premature cutting, or
OF any damage by frost, and We think that the

sons, the dry, forcing weather following the
rains OF midsummer having produced this re-
suit, while checking, perhaps, the full devel-
opnent and growth of the plants. The
weather has been SO favorable, however that
estimates both of the bulk and quality of the
crop are being raised, and it is now generally
believed that the yield in pounds will be q
full average in this State, and also throughout
the West. The Virginia CROP, by the way, is
recently estimated at 10@12 per cent above
full average.
As to the quality of the crop, there will be
no frozen nor wormy, and very little green
tobacco. These facts must seriously influ-
ence the relative supply Of Tugs. On afortiori
Crumbs we think that there will be good
supply of sound, clean leaf, of less than usual
length, but of fair breadth and only fair
proportion OF gummy, colory tobacco There
Is heavy yield in the GAINESVILLE district
and the latter cuttings have yielded very
satisfactory proportion of fat. dark leaf of the
types proper to that district. The yield in
the stemming district is now estimated at two
thirds to three-quarters of an average, instead
OF the former estimate of one-half.
Our own estimate of the crop in August was
that the yield would be scant average, and
one-fitth to one-fourth lighter than the crops
of 1872 and 1873. We are satisfied, however,
after the crop has progressed and matured SO
well that there was a slight error on the short
side, but we regard 1t as next to impossible |
that the yield can equal that of 1872 or 1873 |

LONDON, Saturday. Sept 25, 1675.-There
has been q moderate inquiry Tor gold for ex-
port to Germany during the week, and few
parcels have been taken out of the bank to
meet the demand. small quantity CT Eng
fish and foreign coin has also been withdrawn
for transmission to the United States, and the
money market has, in consequence, assumed
q somewhat frmer appearance. Owing to
tha 70 W hnlnO made |
by the German Government for completing
their gold coinage arrangements on the LIST OF
January next it is anticipated that there will,
during the next four months, be large pur-
chases of gold in this market.
There are some, there fore, who believe that
the directors of the bank will find it exped-
emf, or even necessary, to raise their rates CT
interest, though on the other hand, 1t may
safely be contended that an advance of 3 or
per cent. would fail to have any influence in
the German Government in pro-
curing the gold they require or are able TO
purchase. The mercantile demand for money
in this country is on SO restricted scale, and
seems likely to continue so, that we are able
TO part with considerable supplies OF gold
without being in the slightest degree embar-
rassed. Under present circumstances, II we
can dispose Of our imporiations to Germany

that country can accomplish task wnlch Is
CONNIE ndable one, and one which it has de-
terrained to carry to successful issue, we
are gamers by the operation.
Our surplus gold is being purchased at q
price which would rot otherwise be obtained.
Money in Germany is just now about per
,ent dearer than it is in this country. There
would naturally exist, therefore, some attrac-
