The Baltimore tobacco dealers are food
ino the country With CIRCULARS advising
the farmers not to plant much tobacco,
stating that the country is suffering from
snoverprodaction Of the weed. Our far
mers would do welt to disregard the ad-
vice of the dealers. as they doubtless have

A contract has just been closed under
which the French government is to take
seven thousand hogsheads Of Ohio to-
bacco. The Baltimore commission men
are evidently somewhat alarmed at the
prospects of the Bellaire tobacco ware
house and they are making more than
ordinary exertions for the sale of Ohio
tohaccos. They claim now that the
Ohio air cured tobacco can be substitu.
ted for the Maryland crops.

bly, be the phoiceFof the convention As
a candidate be would doubtless approach
as near as any gentleman mentioned in
the same connection on his side of the
political line in developing the full
strength of his party ~ Yr,,

T., The District Court at its recent ses;
sion, rendered q decision in what. is
known as the Somerton Pike case, with
which our readers are familiar, affirming
the decision of the Common Pleas, and
dissolving the injunction restraining the
Treasurer from collecting taxes levied
to pay outstanding bonds. Notice was
given that the case would be appealed
to the Supreme Court Of the State. In
the meantime, however, there is nothing
TO prevent the Treasurer from collecting
Che taxes levied, Without awaiting action
Of the Supreme Court. ~ ''.-.''
