Aht Hiost lhiilOltdNJ meeting OF the To-
bacco Trade, i'm the opinion Of its own
members, which has eyer occurred took
place yesterday at II NJ. 1t was an adj
iourned meeting from the regular annual
meeting OF the I'd instant, and its deibera-
tiOns were upon the subject Of "schcme
OF Inspection reported by committee
| previously chosen, and which had consid-
cred the whole subject calmly and dispas-
sionately for long period and in the light
OF all the various methods OF inspection
obtaining elsewhere in large tobacco mar
ketS, some OF which, notably the Cincin-
natl and Louisville methods, but especially
the former, are much preferred by buyers
Of leaf throughout the United States TO any
other.
The object sought to be accomplished by
the radical change in our own system OF in
spection, which was decided on, and by
the adoption. practically, of the Cincinnati
system, is to restore that confidence ia the
inspections OF this market which has been
impaired, and TO regain the orders which
consequently have been lost. II is not
/ doubted by experienced members OF the
Trade who are In a position to know that
these orders will Immediately return here
into their old channels, that renewed and
enhanced vitality VIII be experienced in the
sales of this market, and that Richmond
my become what she ought fairly to
be-the great central market OF leaf
tobacco on this continent. Ii is not
doubted particularly that the effect OF
the new movement will be TO give
on impetus to prices OF tobacco directly
from planters, and that rigidity OF sampling
will show his leaf tobacco i'm so favorable
a light by comparison with leaf from other
sources is to give him great advantages.
Below is published the new "scheme
as amended in some respects Yesterday
without publishing details Of the discus
si0ns which took place, or the names Of
those who offered the amendments, the
rather that the amendments did not mate
rally alter the plan as originally proposed
/ by the committee.
The parties principally appearing in the
debate were General PeytOn Wise, Mr.. J..
ID. Christian, and s. A. Ellison i'm favor OF
! the scheme which was adopted, and Mr.. b.
c. Gray in the opposition. And while the
4 interest and excitement manifested were
large, spirit Of courtesy and fairness
were exhibited which promise well for the
new scheme and cannot be too highly COM
mendrd.
The meeting was presided over with
dignity and ability by the vice-president,
Mr.. w. T. Darlington. in the absence OF
Mr.. c. II. Barksdale, who is the president
OF the Trade.
The vote on the scheme " was G1 to 20.
/ II ia proDer 20 add that the effect Of the
new movement is to completely dissever
the businesses OF warehousing and OF in
spection; TO create one inspector for the
whole market, put him under bonds, and
make him responsible for the correspond
ence OF his samples with the packages
whence drawn.
