The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 47

Tobacco

Tobacco.

The production of manufactured Tobacco was much greater than in any of the four previous years, but the quantity taken for consumption was less by 633,322 pounds than in 1875-76, though greater by 301,148 pounds than the average of the four years. The stocks in warehouse at the close of the year exceeded the average by 530,000, and the previous year by 630,000. There has been an annual decline in the quantity of Canadian leaf taken for consumption, although it is believed there has been a steady increase in the quantity cultivated. There seems to be determination to evade the duty. The following table shows the transactions in Tobacco for five years.
