AN OPENING FOR sMUaG1ERs.
France Reduces the Duties on Tobacco
Landed on st. Pierre Island.

Landed on st. Pierre Island.
Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 14.-The dominion
government has been advised by the
colonial officers that France has reduced
the duties on all classes of tobacco landed
at the island st. Pierre, on the New
foundland coast, to four francs, seventy
centimes per hundred kilos. The duty
previously was fifty to one hundred
francs, according to the quality. The
new duty, amounting to but Al cents per
hundred pounds, means that St. Pierre is
practically free port for the entry of to-
bacco and the significance of this, so far
as Canada is concerned, lies in the fact
that the smuggling of tobacco from st.
Pierre will be quite profitable enter
prise for coasters.
