STATISTICAL STATEMENT SINCE OCTOBER lST,
1851.
From October 1t, to December 3lst.
1881, as compared with that Of the pre-
vious year, finds our tobacco trade in u
most prosperous condition. In fact, not
since 1874 have our dealers experienced
any period hall so encouraging. ~
demonstrating this assertion we refer 10
the statistical statement below, from which
It viii be observed that the aggregate cN-
cess I'm receipts, inspections, sales, and de-
liycrie, from October 1T % December 3lSt,
1881, i nearly, ii not quite, hundred per
cent. as compared with those Of the pre-
yious year, which is most ilatiering, when
we consider Tie fact that the crop grown
in 1850 was no. only a most inferior one,
but over l2,000 hogsheads short OF an ay-
ciagc crop. OF the crop grown in 1881
there seems 10 be but one opinion, and that
j.. Judging from present indications. it
l. fully rs short and far more inferior than
that OF 1850.
