—Tobacco is tiic latest "necessity" that has
rapidly advanced in price, ami consumers ot
the "weed" SP' confronted with the prospect
oi having to pay luofcior their tobacco plugs
aud tobies, else receive a lets qunuljty for the
same money. Last year the tobacco crop
was very large and instead of the planters
realizing 20 ceuts a pound for their crop the
market dropped to 2 cents. By general
agreement they planted but a third of a crop
Ibis year, ami the natural consequence is
that speculators as well as dealers have been
stocking up, with a view to running np
prices or cuttiug down quantities in the
eourse of a few months—that is, when Ihe
old erop shall have been exhausted.
