SCHWAB TO RETIRE
FROM ACTIVE>LIFE
TOBACCO IN AUSTRIAN
GOVERNMENT MONOPOLY
Prices OF Cigars Fixed by Law and the
Quality Uniform.

The tobacco traffic is a government
monopoly in Austria, according to a re
port just made by Consul Mabin. at
.Reichenberg. Al the cigars. cigarettes.
etc, are either made in government
factories or are imported by the gov
eminent.
The sale is conducted through Ii
.censed agents, whose number is limited
and whose location is prescribed so that
competition shall not prevent "a Iucra-
tive business The traffic IS supervised
by an official whose jurisdiction covers a
specific territory subdivided among a
number of assistants The tobacco
product is bought by the licensed deal
eTs from these officials, and must ne
sold to the consumer at prices fixed by
law. which yield to the seller about 10
per cent profit from the cheapest and >
per cent from the dearest cigars.
Hotels and restaurants, which seldom
possess a license, must purchase to-
bacco Of the licensed dealers and par
the same prices as individuals. They can
flE their own selling price. however
which they do by adding o. cent to the
legal price Of a cigar or cigarette
The cheapest domestic cigar costs
.0-6 cent: the dearest, So cents. The
price for thousand or million is at
the same rate Each OF the different
kinds of cigars has a distinctive name
and as II never varies in flavor or quail
ity, the purchaser always knows evact-
" what he viii get for his money.
The tobacco for the domestic product
IS grown in the southern provinces Of
AustTla-Hungary- in Egypt, and in TuT-
key, though the better grade OF domes-
tic cigars is made partly of Cuban to
bacco.
From the official statistics of the Aus
trian tobacco industry for 1901, Just pub
lished, 1t appears that the gross value
Of the product sold was $43, 439. 942. an
increase OF 100000, OF IL per cent over
