THE EASTERN TOBACCO oRoP.

/ In the Tet0 EnglaRd HOmsstead from the
/ principal tobacco growing sections og
/ New England, New York, Pennsylvania
I and Wisconsin, give an interesting review
| Of the present outlook f0r the tobacco crop
/ in the Connecticut valley. especially In
/ Massachusetts. Large quantities Of the
I 1884 seed leaf crop are slH unsOld. The
growers went into Havana seed leaf
I heavily last year, bat the
crop In this section has not
sold well, although fair prices nave been
I obtained. In some Instances that which
was sold early brought the best prices
/ The ss3 crop - about all cleared up. In
/ most Of the Massachusetts towns where
/ tobacco has been grown there Will be
/ considerable falling on from last years
/ acreage. Probably not half as much
/ Havana Will be grown as was
/ last year, but there viii be
I considerable Increase In seed leaf. Tie
( tobacco acreage will De from 8 ~ 20 per
[ cent. below tkat of last yeaf In C0nnect-
cut, and about the usual acreage will be-
set, with less Havana. The HousatOnic
seed leaf was all soid early, though 40 low
prices, which will prevent any very great
increase in this years acreage.
ACROSS the border IN New York, how
ever, the tobacco crop is gradually grow
Ing IN importance. The great Havana
tobacco section of ofOoondaga county shows
a slight decrease in acreage. owing 10 low
prices and much uns0id leaf, but growers
will cling n Havana.
The Pennsyvana growers feel blue,
but VIII probably set nearly rs much as
last year Notwithstanding, mostly seed
le0f
Wisconsin is becoming a great COM
petltor Of the Eastern tobacco growers.
Growers there have realized nigher aver
age prices during tho past winter than
have been paid for the Havana Of the
Eastern States. This has given business
a great impetus and the acreage WIFI be
at least One-f0urth larger than last year.
Aside from the general business depres-
sion, tho state of the tobacco market Is
primarily due to the Importation of suma-
ira tobacco through the efforts New
England tobacco growers. The aa8Ocis-
ton tariff on sumatra lear was Increased
from 35 n rs GEMS per pound IN 1883, but
the importers have been able 20 8Vade the.
law, and fills practically a dead letter
The growers u seed leaf tobacco tnrough-
ont the country wiu spare no efforts TO
secure an ironclad tariff at the next Sos
sion of Congress.
