The CONNECTICUT ToBAcco Growers. The
Hartford Conn. Times of the Sth inst. says.
For several years the tobacco growers of The
Connecticut valley have failed to make mon
ey ON their crops, and for the last two years.
ut least they have as q general thing sold at
small but actual loss. The best wrapper
leaf grown in the United States is the Con-
necticut valley article and the best leaf in
the valley IS grown ON q narrow strip of terri
tory, averaging not over three miles wide and
perhaps lG miles long, nearly all in the town
ships of East Hartford, Glastonbury, and
South Windsor. For the finest products of
this limited region-a section thoroughly
wel-known to buyers far and near-the high

been years-but they have gone now. and

ago, for growers to get 80 TO 80 cents for
good lots. How is it now? A communicn-
ton, elsewhere published. from the East
Hartford growers, tells the story. They have
scarcely averaged over Il cents. But they
have mostly got rid of the 1877 crop-a re-
markedly good one, by the way-and seem
to feel easier because they have, even though
they have not actually cleared expenses.
counting labor and interest. Nor does the
future promise much better return. The
next three years are likely, even with crops
of superior quality, to be no better for the
grower than this And the farmers are wise
~ considering the propriety Of abandoning
the cultivation of tobacco. and devotng their
land and labor to other and possibly better
paying crops certainly more Trustworthy
and uniformly equal in their returns"

Statistical reports show that last year was
an unfortunate one for the fire underwriting
interests of this country. The fire LOSSES were
large, though not greatly in excess of what
they have been for several years past, but the
volume of premiums received by the insur-
amce companies, which hitherto has been suf-
ficient to more than make good the drains up
on their resources caused by fires was during
the year 1877 greatly reduced. In consequence
of this the statements made to the State In
surance Department show decided falling
off in amount of surplus held. With the in
surance companies of New York State alone,
it is said, there has been decrease in surplus
of more than 81, 500, 600. OF course, this
condition of affairs cannot continue long. All
insurance companies are so far mutual in
their workings that they expect to pay their
losses out of the premiums received. For a
time they may draw upon their capital, but
only for a time as the moment continuance
in business becomes manifestly Improbable a
sufficient number of corporations will with
draw from it to lessen the competition, and
then the rates of premium paid by the public
will instantly increase. -Bost0a Herald.
