Apropos of the snuff trust. the 9alti-

Ak brauch OF the American Tobacco
Company has manufactured STUFF since
the close of the civil war. and has been
running night and day since last April.
In speaking of the snuff industry G. w.
Gail, Jr., said to a reporter; "Our fac
tory is steadily increasing the output OF
snuff. In 1898 IL was only 797 900
pounds, while in 1899 the output was L.
77S000 pounds. We employ nearly 400
hands.
The snun we manufacture is of
three kinds. French 'rappee. which was
formerly much used, but Tor which
there is now only a limited demand: I:
'maccoboy,' which is used for chewing
as well as inhaling purposes and is
ground tine and highly scented. Then
there is the Scotch snuif, which is as
hue as -four and is used for chewing
purposes. The 'rappee' costs from 40
cents 10 7S cents a pound; the 'macco-
boy costs about so cents a pound, as
does also the Scotch f.
