was exported as early as 1921. Since 1880 we
have sent abroad 9, 529, 12B hogsheads equal to
13,000,OOO,OOO pounds. TO transport this vast
product would, 1t is estimated, require 1908
ships, carrying 500 hogsheads each, or a
yearly average OF ZIG vessels of that capacity.
VIII somebody put that In his pipe and smoke
1T? Last year, according to the official re-
port of the Commissioner Of Internal Reeve
nue., q greater quantity OF manufactured
tobacco, and more cigar and cigarettes, were
removed from the manufactures for exporta-
tion than during any previous year Of which
an account has been kept by the internal
revenue Office The excess in tobacco over
the year preceding was nearly 100000
pounds Of the total amount. England takes
over 100000 pounds; Australia comes next,
Germany next, and the United States Of
Colombia next. There Is scarcely any spot
in the civilized world to which we do not
export our manufactured tobacco direct.
In Germany the clippings or refuse of the
cigars made in this country have recently
found profitable market at from two to five
cents per pound. Formerly these clippings
were allowed to accumulate in American
manufactures for months, until some specu-
lator happened along and took the lot for @
song. Now agents have been sent out through
Canada to buy up all they can find with O
view to shipping 1t to Europe. ...E-.

for cleaning and the repairing Of streets of the
First, Second Sixth and Seventh Districts Of
the city, regret exceedingly the necessity that
ceompels them to present to your honorable
body the attached petitions OF the principal
residents OF the several wards composing the
appreciation and satisfaction at the manner In
which the work devolving upon us has been
done. Conscious OF having performed our duty
under the circumstances, considering the de-
ticient drainage and want of q sufficient sup
ply, OF water, and believing that any repre-
sentations made by us might not receive due
consideration, from the fact Of being the par
ties in interest, we have deemed this the most
direct manner Of showing to your honorable
to its citizens, which as contractors we have
assumed, has been effectually and satisfac-
torily performed.
Very respectfully,
BARTLEY u FAYssOux.

In all American exports, including bread
stuffs, since the foundation of the Republic
three commodities have stood forth prominent
in amount and value-cotton, tobacco and
cheese, and of these cotton has been king.
Yet will it be believed that in 1854 an Ameri-
can ship which carried eight bags of cotton
into Liverpool was seized on the ground that
so much cotton could not be the product OF
The United States! In the fiscal year 1861
during which the largest crop was raised and
the greatest quantity exported, 1,767,6 1873
pounds were sent abroad, over 1,265,oo000o
goingsto Great Britain.
