Captain T. l.. Brown, president Of the
Tobacco Association, reports that the sales
Of leaf tobacco last month amounted 10
4.aST. l5l pounds, and the average per hun.
dre,l was Si6.46. In June, 1882, the sales
amounted 10 1881 ,842 pounds, and the
average was $1,000. The accounts
show that since the 1st OF October,
1852. the amount Of the sales was 27.12T, $50
pounds LnG the average SILT; in the cor
responding period Of last year the amount
az The sales was 20, 414,741 and the average
$3.50. The gam OF S5.77 per hundred for
This June over the preceding June, and OF
s2.0s in This general average over the pre-
ccding general average, Is something
remarkable. Captain Brown, in the
statement sent the reporter, puts pointer
al the average for last month. IL is indeed
the highest average given for any month in
seven years except the averages given for
September aud October, 1881. the season Of
that year being the one in which the great
drought was followed by the early frost,
and panic was produced amongst the to-
bacco-men and all connected with them.
The internal-reyenue collections for last
month amounted to S14,4li.A5, which Is
below the average amount per month. The
collections for the year ending June 30th
amounted to Sl,139, 1879; forthe prece-
ding wear. 81, 096, G73.36. Manufactured to-
bacco and cigars are the principal items in
these amounts. But at the reduced tax on
tobacco these figures show heavy trade.
