Return we to our warehouse. See
the rows and rows of hodgheads here,

Now the warehouses choose him,
though not so far back he was a public

best of all, to be bought at very mod

as strips for instance, it will take IS
per cent of water without becoming I'M
merchantable.
1t is the low price of shipping leaf
which accounts for the fact that the
value of leaf tobacco exported in the
last fiscal year was less than the
amount of tax collected from it's man
ufacture in these United States. Dis
regarding fractions, % of our SOC, 900, 600
of exports must be set to the credit of
the untouched weed. For the same
period, there were internal revenue re-
ceipts of nearly $4,000, 600. And the low
price-at least the growers of it con-
fidently say so-is due largely to the
fact of monopoly. Foreign purchases,
save for England and Germany, are
made through the government agents,
who hold what are known technically
as reggie contracts These call for
such and such quantities Of tobacco of
a guaranteed quality, at a fixed price
Usually all the contracts are captured
by one, or at most, two big firms, who
agree not to rival each other in the in
terror markets. Orders are given to
local brokers for so many thousand
hogsheads, at prices which allow the
contractors handsome margin of
profit. And the prices are accepted;

for the very good reason that, failing
a reggie buyer, the larger half of ex-
port tobacco would have none.
FROM .SEEDTIN1E TO HARVEST.
A tobacco seed is a very little thing
to occasion so great a matter as the
tobacco traffic. What will lie in your
scooped palm will produce plants
enough to set ten acres. And no other
crop is at once so picturesque, so
troublesome, and so entirely beyond the
help of machinery. Thrifty planters
say, indeed, that to raise it in perfec-
ton. "a man needs 10 months TO the
year-and no Sunday into the bargain. +"
