_San Salvador._—The exports of tobacco in 1884 were 16,113 dollars’ worth of leaf, 5898 dollars’ worth of manufactured, and 826 dollars’ worth of other sorts. _Servia._—It is estimated that there are 4000 acres under tobacco culture in Servia. _Spain._—The port of Cadiz is a great centre of the tobacco industry. The imports here in 1878 were:—123 _kilo._ from Germany, 304,538 _kilo._ from the United States, and 6,776,900 _kilo._ from Spanish colonies; the exports were 15,600 _kilo._ to Germany, and 213,846 _kilo._ to France. Corunna exported 58,280 _kilo._, value 87,420 _pesetas_, in 1884. Cadiz exported 514,817 _kilo._, value 2,574,085 _pesetas_, in the same year. _Sumatra._—This great island is assuming a first-rate importance in the tobacco industry. The year 1883 was an exceptionally favourable one, as the harvest in Sumatra was very good, while prices for Java tobacco were higher than of late years, in consequence of the short harvest of 1882. Large quantities of Sumatra tobacco found buyers in the United States, in consequence of the protectionist measure introduced in that country in favour of the home tobacco producers. The duty was raised from 35 c. to 75 c. per lb. on and after the 1st July, 1883, and great efforts were made to import as much as possible at the lower duty before that date. The principal owners of the plantations are Dutchmen, and the labour employed is Chinese coolies, brought to the island principally from the Malaya peninsula. The crop, according to one of these successful planters, is scarcely ever reared two years in succession on the same lands. The jungle is first cleared, and then the seed planted. After the first crop of tobacco is gathered, it is the next season used for rice, or something else, and tobacco is not planted again until the sixth or seventh year after the jungle is cleared. By adopting this method, a better result is obtained. The drying-house is thus described by a recent visitor to the island:—
