Sumatra Tobacco.
Attempt to Cultivate the
Choice Brand in America.
SEED DIRECT FROM SUMArRA
TO BE SENT HERE.

Washington, D G.. March 5 E
Spencer Pratt, the United States CON
sui general at Singapore, transmits
to the state department the following
interesting report on Sumatra tobac-
CO, which is SO much in demand in
this country:
Rejecting upon the great increase
that las taken place in the produc-
ton of Sumatra tobacco, the high
price it commands on account Of its
superiority, especially for wrapping
purposes, and the significant fact
that so large a proportion of it is
annually purchased in Amsterdam
exclusively for the American market.
| became convinced that substantial
benefits would accrue to our own
tobacco industry from the reproduc-
ton of this particular variety of the
plant in the United States. Believ-
ing it's successful cultivation posi-
bic, at least in Lower California and
along the Southern seaboard, | de.
termined. as far as | could, to under
take the experiment of it's introduce
ton there.
With the above object in view, l
accordingly addressed myself to the
acting consul.general of the Neither
lands here. Mr. J. j. NJ. FIeury,
with the request that he would
furnish me with information as to the
growth and development of tobacco
culture in Sumatra and assist me in
the matter Of procuring supply of
the best quality of seed.
The latter, he said, he could not
promise to DO, on account of the OBJ
lection of the planters on the island
TO allowing any of their seed to be
exported. On the general subject Of
Sumatran tobacco planting. however,
he was kind enough to furnish me
with the following very interesting
particulars
1t was in the year 1862 that an
Arab drew the attention of COM
mercial house in Batavia to the dis
tlict Of Deli, Oh the east coast Of
Sumatra, country where pepper
and tobacco were being produced,
and where good market could be
found for European goods. This led
to commercial expedition to Deli
in March, 1868, which expedition
was joined by Mr.. j. Neinhuys,
tobacco planter in Java, with the
special object Of inspecting the soil
in Deli and seeing whether it was
suitable for tobacco cultivation. Re
ceived with open arms by the then
sultan of Deli, Mahmood Per-Kasa
Alan, the commercial agents entered
into commercial aud agricultural
agreements, but these agreements for
various reasons came to nothing, and
the only result of the expedition was
that Mr.. Neinhuys obtained firm
footing in Deli.

Being provided with the necessary
funds by firm in Rotterdam. Mr.
Neinhuys cent his first so bales to
Europe in 1865, and in 1866, 189
bales, and this tobacco attracted the
attention of experts to such an ex-
tent that Mr.. 2. w. Jansen, on the
advice of a tobacco merchant Mr..
A Clemen), and having full conf
dence in the report Of Mr. Nienhuys,
who had gone to Amsterdam, de-
cided to assist him financially, espe-
cially as Mr.. Nienhuys had taken
with him very favorable offers of
concessions from the sultan of Deli
The first results of this new enter
prise were very favorable the first
shipment of the 1868 crop was sold
in that year for 225 forms per half
kilogram go 1-2 cents per IL
pounds), and this was an inducement
to extend the undertaking.
Assistance was given Mr.. P. w.
Jansen by the Netherland Trading
society of Amsterdam, and in May,
1869, Mr.. Clemen went to Deli to
secure land for company that was
to be formed and otherwise assist
Mr.. Nienhuys Mr.. CIemen died FIVE
months later, but this did not inter
fere with the starting of the com
pany, the articles of association of
which were signed on October %.
1869, the company to start from
November l, 1869, with capital of
100000 guilders.
This is how the Deli Maatschappy
was started, the pioneer tobacco
planters in Deli. | attach a state
ment showing the number of estates
it possesses, the number of bales of
tobacco it has produced from 1870 to
1893, the average prices realized, the
total value of such tobacco, the divi.
dend paid on the shares, the original
capital and gradual increases, and
the total dividends 1t will be seen
that 50, 759 bales were produced in
1893, and as the total crop of that
ysar was something like 100000
bales, the Deli Maatochappy pro-
duced about third Of the Sumatrs
tobacco
The crop of tobacco from the east
coast Of Sumatra which, since 1869,
had been gradually increasing, reach
ed a total of over $4,000 bales OF
ia pounds each in 1890. This was
evidently too large a crop for the
consumption, for heavy loss was sus-
tanned by planters, many of whom,
working with slender means, had to
close their estates, and, as will be
seen from the accompanying state
ment, even the Deli Maatschappy

1886 900, for those not returned; that
is, 15,700 stayed here. Not all of these

A Dig in the Ribs

Lightly and jocosely given is no formid-
able matter, but when constant uneasi-
ness beneath your ribs on the right side
intimates that your liver is out of order
You are not to be envied. This sensation
is also accompanied by yellowness Of the
skin and eyeballs, mouse colored fur
upon the tongue, sick headache, nausea
and other uncomfortable indications.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the remedy
of all others, and should be resorted to
without delay. Constipation and dyspep-
sia, concomitant of liver trouble, are also
remedied by this unequalled regulating
medicine, which the records of nearly half
II century, the commentator of eminent
members of the medical profession, and
the daily experience of the invalid world
stamps as the frat of it's class. In rheu-
matism, kidney and bladder trouble it is
incompatible. 1t remedies nervousness
and debility, restores appetite and sleep,
hastens convalescence after exhausting
lnaladies, and greatly mitigates infirmities
incident to old age.
