Berlin. April 1.-THE manne IN

iChamber of Commerce to the Prussian
!Commerce. Minister Herr Moellor. as
follows:

THE output Of cigarette tobacco in Or
der to meet it's increased demand for
raw tobacco by buying not only in the
markets of producing countries but in
the chief staple markets. The war;
houses are at present empty and prices
for HI cheaper qualities have risen %
Ito 80 per cent. 1t cannot. however, be
asserted that the American purchases
were made for purposes of speculation
or for controlling the market Of the
world.
They appear on the other hand
merely to have been to cover the trusts
enormous demand. So far as the Ger
imam product is concerned the cheaper
Qualities were bought. but of the Amer
jican crops the dearer kinds were pur-
lchased. While it is hardly planned to
make the German raw tobacco market
depend upon American interests. still
the domestic industry feels keenly the
deficiency in raw material and thu en-
Ihancement of prices. The market for
Cigar tobacco has felt the influence Of
the trust to a lesser degree. OF course
the trust completely controls the raw
tobacco supply for Havana cigars.
The trust began operations in the Ger
imam cigarette market with the lur-
Ichase Of the factory of George a. Jas
Imatsi, Of Dresden. at the beginning of
Since then it has succeeded in
increasing its business fully fifty per
cent. In order to create a large mar
tket for its product the trust operates
with liberal rebates. but there is moth
ling unusual in this method of doing
business. apart from the fact that re-
ibates are given even for small Uuanti-
tiles. On the other hand it appears not
Ito be free from criticism that the trust
delivers twelve hundred cigarettes
when over a thousand are ordered
Furthermore it has developed a system
Iof bounties which is strongly disap-
proved in German business circles.
I'VE believe the trust intends to try to
secure control of the entire German
cigarette market. but there is nothing
ito indicate that it will soon succeed.
Tile German cigarette industry is
strong enough in capital equipment to
take UP the fight against the trust"
