From the tobacco circulars of Messrs. Clagett, Son, and Co., leading
brokers of London, dated Feb., 1st, 1850, I take the following
extracts:--

The exhaustion of the stock has resulted from the concurrence of a
gradually decreasing supply and increasing consumption, which may
be very clearly perceived by a reference, first to the official
returns from New Orleans of the yearly receipts of the western crops
in each of the last seven years; and secondly, to the consumption of
American tobacco in Great Britain and Ireland in the years 1847,
1848, and 1849, as compared with that of 1840, 1841, and 1842. We
have no means of exhibiting with similar accuracy the relative
consumption of Continental Europe in the latter as compared with the
former part of these last ten years, but it is quite reasonable to
assume that the increase, where there has been little or no duty,
must have gone on more rapidly than it has done here, under the
restraining force of a duty of 800 to 900 per cent.

The deliveries from London and Liverpool, independently of those
from Scotland, Bristol, and Newcastle, for the use of Great Britain
and Ireland, have been as follows:--In 1840, 15,037 hhds.; 1841,
15,019 hhds.; 1842, 15,468 hhds.; 1847, 18,091 hhds.; 1848, 18,595
hhds.; 1849, 18,738 hhds.

The highest estimates we have seen of the whole of the crops of the
United Slates in 1849, do not exceed 140,000 hhds., of which it is
not doubted that fully 45,000 hhds. will be required for consumption
there, and we estimate the supply required for the consumption of
Europe, South America, the West Indies, and Africa, at certainly
