Ing real property, and the secratary Of Tie beard

ceedings, and die the same, together with all
their papers,, In the Office of the state auditor

impression has prevailed since the pas
sag Of the new internal revepue law
that tobacco, snua, cigar and cigarette
manufacturers would no. reduce prices
after May / to the full extent of the
reduction of the tax. To ascertain the
views of leading manufacturers on this
subject, . circular letter has been sent
to each one asking for Information on
this point. The direct question: Is ask.
ed whether they have made, or shall
make, any reduction IN the prices of
their goods in consequence of the reduo-
ton of the tax, and how much reduction
they will make. So tar about forty
leading firms have responded. Quite
. number have made direct answer,

to the extent of the reduction of the
tax, that Is 8 per 1000 on cigars, 81 rs
per 1000 on cigarettes, and 8 cents per
