NIRGINIAS PROMINENCE.
II has been shown from time TO TIME
In the Dispatch correspondence that OF
the 100000 or l5,0c1DoO pounds Of tobac
co exported annually from the tnite'
states Virginia sends out nearly three
fourths. a large proportion goes TO th'
South American countries, but the snip
mcnts 20 Europe are heavy. England
Germany France and Austria take grea
quantities of natural leaf. which the!
mlx with other tobaccos. and from then
are made the various smoking mixture
50 common abroad, manufactured In tn
10nr-cut shane. The American manu-
faciured packages are also to be ioun'
FOR sale I'm Europe. but the increase o
European manufactures must necessari
is tend 10 lessen the demand for manu-
factured tobacco from the United States
