Good Time to Sell Tobacco.

London, Sept. 26-The presence OF
three prominent American tobacco
men, Messrs. Duke, Fuller and j. B.
Cobb, in London is arousing the usual
crop of irresponsible surmises. The
principals of both the American and
British Tobacco companies have up to
the. present, absolutely refused to
furnish any information as to the
nature of any negotiations which may
be on foot, but the indications point
not to any amalgamation but to a
desire to reach some trade arrange
ments which will put an end to the
disastrous cutting of prices.
