THE SNUFF TRADE.

Last year, contrary to the usual run of the
tobacco trade a large decrease in the manu-
facture of snuff was reported In 1899 nearly
eighteen million pounds were manufactured, and
less than fourteen million pounds IN I9co On
the face of it. one would say that the taking of
snuff was passing away with the nineteenth
century and the lingering last leaves VINO
chung to the historic and uneesthetic practice AS
a matter of fact however, these figures really
show an increase. The average for some years
previous to 1890 between ten million and
eleven million pounds. The competition of en-
terprising firms and the growth of the indus
try caused little OverproductiOn, which has
now been stopped by consolidation of the
snuff manufacturing interests. The last year
managed therefore. TO raise the average OF
snuff production some three million pounds, be-
sides using the surplus of 1S99
So there is plenty of snuff in the United States.

numbers no snuff takers among his acquaint-

There is legend that women are beginning to

touch OF playful fancy. But statistics in spite
of their evil reputation, must tell a certain
amount of truth. and figures declare that New
England is now the happy hunting ground of the
snuff seller. The speculative brain of mathe-
