TOBACCO: A WARNING.
■LONDON, 16th November. A London firm of tobacco merchants has imported forty bales o£ New Zealand pipe tobacco to test the market. A warning is issued that if this small shipment is successful it does not follow that tKe market pan absorb larger quantities. This warning is founded on experience. Rhodesian tobaccos, thousands of tons of which are now in Britain, are unmarketable. It is not a question of quality or whether it is equal to or better than American. It is the different taste to which the public must be educated. Many Englishmen who went to Africa to grow tobacco in Rhodesia and Nyassa are now glad to drive trams. /
