The Tobacco Trade.

,rha rop.ccoS1sTs are satisfied, we should
think this morning. They were aGml'teo
TO the liberty to purchase sooacco's'amps a'
- o'clock last night, and We may suppose
that they awaited themselves OF the oppof-
tunity. ..
The event is one OF very great import"
.,re. II marks the beginning OF mucn
activity. and, we hope and believe, dec!deo
prosperity in the tobacco trade. vi course
other branches OF trade will reap advantages
from the turn in affairs that comes from the
renewal of activity in the tobacco business.
The reduction OF the tobacco-taS must
sfrert the transactions in tobacco most pen
c6cially. Not only must the business DC
largely increased, but the prohls VIII DC
better. Contemporancously, too' WIN tne
enoch in tobacco commences the fundin@
NJ the State debt under the contract be-
tween the State and those representing the
State creditors. That will not fail TO In
fuse a great deal of activity and confidence
in all departments Of commerce us wei as
,be tobacco business, which occupies SO
large place in the public interest.
Regarding these points with decided nope
in the prospect, we feel that wc have de-
gree of security for the steady growth o.
business and thrift unusually free from tht
formations to speculative excuses. We
have the promise Of lonS-contInued con
dition Of safe as we'll as reasonably remu
lucrative business, while the country, ant
particularly Virginia, will go not TOO rapid
" but very surely forward TO gain strength

Too Much Tobacco.

| see from the columns OF your valuable
paper. and other sources, there is Il great
effort being made by the warchousencn,
commencing with New York and covering
the whole country. to induce the planters
to plant another full crop of tobacco this
year, and when the planter points to the
low prices ruling everywhere he is told his
recent crops have been OF the wrong kind.
and that they have been OF very poor quail
lty, and the warehouseman points to the
white Burley and says, Sec what 1t Is
bringing" etc.
PERHAPS the warehouscmen may be eN-
cusel FOR wanting 4 full crop planted, lot
they get the handling OF the crop, DE II
great or small, and they charge Dy the pack-
ace or hogshead, and the more hossucaas
the more money to them, LOT /, Is not ilhels
the nrice will 90 so low it will not pay the
warehousc-fees. 1t certainly is not the IN
tcrest OF the holders OF past crops to have 4
fnlI crop PLANTED this veal. and it certainly
is not the interest OF planters to raise
another full crop, for this will keep the
price down. 1t certainly is not to the
interest OF the dealer, for when it is so
low there is nothing in ii to anybody cN-
cept the warehousemen. AS TO the con-
sumers, some might say they would get the
benefit at very low prices, but this is not
so, for under the revenue laws OF the world
to-day tobacco is so heavily taxed that the
original cost OF the raw leaf cuts small
figure in the value OF the manufactured ar
ticle. The remedy for the low price does
not lie in producing the white Burlcy, for
if the supply OF the white Burley was as
! great us the other kinds it would not be
worth any more, and it is doubtful if 1t
would be worth as much, for it is really

ley will be short-lived. like the Dolly Warden
fashions which prevailed few years ago for
there is no real merit in it. The grand and
great truth which the planters should all I'M
derstand, from the largest to the smallest, is :
there has been Il very large orerprOduction
for the hard times we have been having
and are still likely to have for year
or two at least, and the true remedy does
not lie in the white BurleY nor in the ahan-
donment of the culture OF tobacco, for it
will be wanted, Notwithstanding the unjust
laws against it. But let all the experienced
growers continue to cultivate it, but in
smaller quantities; don't plant more than
you can cultivate well, uor more than you
have room for. 1t is better to raise 1,00(
pounds and get 500 than raise 5000 pounds
and get 500 or 1925 for it; in the first
case you get pay for your labor and in the
other you do not.-To6acco Ners.
