St. Louis, Sept. A.-American Tobacco
stock dropped 81. so a share to-day from
Fridays high point on account of the
company's failure to carry TO close the
deal for the purchase of the Drummond
plant in this city at the expected time.
The fact that the money has not been
paid to President Harrison L. Drummond
for his holdings has given rise TO the inn
preston on the floor of the Merchants
Exchange and in the New York Stock Ex-
change that the company will be forced
TO borrow in order to close the negotia-
tons.
1.-THE Liggett and Meyers Company is
making ready for a fight against the

in the price of its leading brands, and it
Is understood that another cut will follow
at an early date. The combine will be
forced to meet this cut, but until the
Drummond deal is closed 1t will not be in
position to do anything, thus leaving the
field practically in the hands of the oppo-
sitiOn."

GEN. CRAMPS GRANDDAUGHTER.
Said to Be Engaged to the Italian
Count of Turin.

From the New York Press.
The report that Prince Vittorio Eman-
uele Count of Turin, was paying marked
attention to Miss Julia Dent Grant, grand
daughter of Gen. U. s. Grant, during
his recent visit seems TO have taken Eu-
ropean writers by the ears. They are say
ing some very silly things about a posi-
bic marriage. To their way OF thinking,
such a marriage would be morganatic.
over here we look upon all our girls
as queens, and for any one of them to
marry a penniless count, even a nephew
of a King, is condescension. The talk
about Miss Grant Sitting on the throne
of Italy" is all nonsense, of course. Prince
Victor's brother. the Duke Of Aosta. is
only year and ten months his senior
and a pretty healthy specimen of the
Sandman. Then there is the Prince of
Naples, who, though understood and puny
comes of no short-lived stock. His faith
