The boom in Havana leaf is A extensive

not take very long to deplete entirely the
stock on baud. For some time past We
have laid our wires to get at the quantity
OF Havana stored In our bonded ware
houses and we have at last succeeded.
On the lst inst there were In our public
stores close to "a 600 bales. One-third Of this
stock is sold, which would reduce It to
IL, 0O0 and OF this amount about 2, 800 bales
belong from various reasons to the black
list OF "unsaleable." The available stock
would therefore amount to about IL, 500
bales-a quantity which may be exhausted

Tho senate Tariff bill.
From the u. 8. Tobacco Journal.
A reduction In the surplus OF q, 2Sl, 900 Ia
calculated from the tariff section on tobacco
In the Senate bill. There was never more
fallscious miscalculation. A duty of rs
cents on SumatIa will not prevent the
Importation OF pound less than the trade
needs or the quality of the Sumatra will
warrant The stubborn ignorance which
prevails on this point among those who
pretend to speak for our domestic growers,
and among those who permit themselves to
be in huenced by them, Is almost exasper.
ating. II tho time shall come for decision,

fallacy OF such q calculation. Besides, q
reduction OF the duty to 20 cents on Havana
will increase the importation Of this com.
modify by al least 90. 600 bales more, and
will thus have the effect to swell instead OF
to reduce our surplus.
