_ ___ADlLYDEMOCRAT. SU PPLEMENT. NEW ORLEANS, WEI)NESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1871). ()ommercial and Financlial latters. The stesmehip C. W. Lorld rvved yester day fromn Vers Crux wI .h sa btas of coffee. The .teamashp Iuteshire iqeurwl yesterday for Rlcn with 41,113 bushels of bulk corn and 35,)43 bushels of balk wheat. ¥Yeterday being a legal hoMday, exchanges, isenks, insurance o(nss and stores were vfi !d. Iusiness, therefore, was brought to a f.ll stop, and everybroy'%irned out to enjoy nlardi Wrais. State Clon.uls d'eAe -weak at 5i'.i51'/e, aigainst 51.Ti.D.2 on Monsay. Premium linde pruled easy at 25t1642W5, against 25* !(,8253 on Monday. The Stock Eanhange being dlosed, w' have no sales to report. Liverpool proposes to expend $17iT1,( at once for additional 'arcommodatlons for the recoptlion of Amerian cattle. Lirver.pool, at least, does not thituk pleuro-pneumonia will kill our cattle trade. The heavy snowfall in Western Nebraska ii causing great sufferIng among the cattle, and It in fared that, unless It goes off In a few days. thosaends of animals will periht with hunger. The Treasury Department at Washington has prepared a 'bill and submltted It to the Senate which is Intended to prevent the ex portation of diseased cattle. It provides for a system of Inspection at all ports from which live sto.k are shipped, and gives authority to collectors to prohibit the clearanoe of any vessel detected in an evalsion of the law. The exports of plain plece goods from Eng land for Caloutta were 28,000,000 yards in Jan uary, agalnet4t4,000.OO in January, 1878, and 735.000.000 In January, 1877. The exports In four months , ending December, 1878, were 196,000,000 yards, against 90I5,000,)() in 1877, and 221.000,fl 0 In 1876 for the same months. Th.' dee.wee in the exports to other East Indle markete was nesrly as great. In col ored goods the trade was smaller and the de crease less rapid. The exports to China are fairly sustained. English capital is probably beginning to see that It has done too much for the development of East India in the efl',rt to secure lodopendenoe of the United States. The statlstics show the basils of the manufacturers' agitation in favor of obtain lng a redhction in the East India duties. The St. Louts Republican remarks : Let the Assembly, of course, adopt the resolutions re garding the improvement of the Missismlppi river, but before that is done they should cross out the words referring to the naviga tion of the river by oce- n vessels. That sort of talk would only throw ridicule on the reo lutions, for even if it is practicable and possi bie to make the river navigable for craft of that kind, there would be no gain to anybody nl havias ships come above New Orleane. The simple fact is that the cost of transpr+r tation per mile is very much less by the barge and tow-boat system on the river now than it is by ship on the ocean. It would not bea brilliant programme then to spend mil lions to maklg a ship canal to St. Louls, for no other reason than to tinerease the freight rate to Europe. Let the ship business alone and ask for a nothing but a river that will keep within it banks and give a good channel all the year round for steamboats and barges. In thMUnltied States the amount of tobacco produced In 1877 was: Untaced tobacco In the leaf, 185.000,000 pounds; In cigars, 20,000,000; in cigarettes, 500,000 pounds; untaxed tobac co, say40,000,000pounds-making a total of no lets than 1i6,000,000 pounds. But of thle gross amount there were 11,500,000 pounds of manufactured tobacco exported, which leaves a balano of 184,0,000,000 pounds for consump tion. Estimating our population at 45,000, 000, we Ind that for each head the average consumption is over four pounds per annum. Assuming that three-fifths, at least, of our population are women and children, we have but 18.000100 adults, of whomnnot more than 5,000,000 do not use tobacco in any form. This leaves us 13:,000,000 persons who consume yearly fifteen and two-thirds pounds, or very nearly live ounces a week, apiece. It Is very difficult to secure data showing the actual quantity of smoking tobacco brought to tax ation each year, for the simple reason that no such record is kept by the Commissioner of Internal ,evenue, and the data derived from the total quantityof tobacco brought to taxation is defcetlve, es growers.of leaf can use It free of tax. Members of Congress, in their spelo ch. at. Washington, have variously estimated tlie quantity of loaf used by pro ducers and others without being tax-paid. The highest estltateo was C,0,00,0o0 pounds, but the Revenue IDepartment deems thll largely in ca-.'ss of tilh quantity so used. It is intves·tlng to note that the average con sumption of .tobaeco for each head of the population in (Gernmany in 177 did not fall short of sil pounds. In England the annual average for each person is nearly a pound and a half. In Frant, nearly everybtxxy smokes, and In Hollandl more mIoney Is said to to spent on tobtacco than on br.lll. Incellt, it may be accepted as a fa 't that tLoacco 1s more genroally used than any ,ther single artlcle of commerrc~ eonsullnlt t by lsanl.
