ated as follows--

hhds.
Virginia 30,000
Kentucky, Tennessee, and Missouri, about 50,000
Maryland, about 22,000
Ohio, about 14,000

From the above estimate it will be seen that the quantity produced
in 1850 is less than two-thirds of the usual production in the
States named. The entire crop of Virginia will be required for home
consumption. About 15,000 hhds. Kentucky, and 5,000 hhds. Maryland
will also be wanted for home use. Owing to the increase of
population by immigration and otherwise, the domestic consumption,
which was a few years ago so small as not to be considered worthy of
notice, has now increased to a very important item, and affords a
steady home market for a large portion of the production.

The quantity of Maryland tobacco left for export to Bremen and
Holland, in 1851, will only be about 17,000 hhds., which is not more
than half the amount usually shipped to these countries every year.

Of the Kentucky tobacco contracted for last year by France and
Spain, through their agents in this country, less than one third has
yet been purchased, and those governments will this year require the
deficiency to be made up, in addition to their annual average
supply, which, with the quantity required for England, will take the
entire crop, leaving nothing for the rest of Europe, Africa, South
America, the West Indies, &c. The tobacco markets throughout the
world are in a much more healthy condition than has ever been known,
and it is thought prices will rule very high the coming season. In
Maryland, while the production has been not more than half an
average crop, the price is nearly three times as high as usual; so
that the planter will receive more for his diminished crops than in
ordinary seasons of plenty.
