That before long cigarette packets
will contain eight Instead of 10 cig
arettes and 16 Instead of 20 was the
assertion made by men Interested in

ure. It is also said that nickel cigars
will Boon dlsapptear from the market
and that bags filled with smoking to
bacco will contain less than at pres
ent. Several dealers report large sales
of tobacco to individual buyers who
are large consumers and who wish to
gtet in as much of the present stock
as possible. Most of the dealers real
izing that the revenue bill would im
pell the action now proposed by the
(manufacturers have laid in big stocks.
