 CONNECTICUT ToBACCo.-The Hartford cor respondent of the New York Tobacco Leaf under the date of the 21st inst, gives the fol- lowing information in regard to the tobacco trade in this city: ''The demands for new sec- onds continues; prices paid are from to 11c Most of the packers are holding for higher prices. The wrappers of the 1879 crop are neglected thus far There is moderate call for old tobacco, and we quote seconds at 10 to 12c., and'15 to 25c. for wrappers From pres- ent indications there will be considerable in crease in the acreage of tobacco put out this season over last years setting. Quite num- Der of new sheds are being put up all through the Connecticut valley.'
 The New Milford correspondent of the same paper says: Probably at no time since tobac- co became so prominent crop in tLis 1.-the Housatonic] valley has it been bought up SO closely as at the present time. It is very doubtful if there are twenty y-five cases re- maining in the farmers hands. The tobacco in the various warehouses is reported as sweat ing very finely and unusually early. The seed for the 1880 crop is sowed, and in many instances has already come up.'
