CIGARETTE TRADE
 IS VERY ACTIVE
BIRMINGHAM NOTED AS RETAIL TOBACCO MARkET-lNCREA ING DEMAND FOR IMPORTED CIGARETTES.

Birmingham is decidedly a cigarette smoking town. There are more sticks as they are commonly known, sold in this city than in any other place of like size in the south New Orleans is noted as the cigarettes-smolSing city of the south, but Birmingham will run the Crescent City a close second, comparatively speaking
 The prices of cigarettes range from cents to 50 cents per box, or package of ten cigarettes each The domestic cigar cites sell for 5, 10 and l5 cents, while the Turkish and Egyptian goods are offer ed at 20. 25, 35, 40 and 50 cents. Accord ing to retail tobacco dealers large num- Der 35 and 5o-cent packages of cigarettes are sold here.
 Austin P. Sims, in discussing the cigar cite trade yesterday afternoon, said
 Birmingham is a splendid retail mar ket for ready-made cigarettes Almost every kind of cigarette made is sold here, and my observation has been that the im- ported cigarette trade has grown remark ably fast during the past two years.
 Two years ago the 5-cent packages of cigarettes were about the only sellers, but now we have calls for all brands.
 "The general tobacco market in Bir- mingham has been good all of this year. I estimate that 95 per cent of the adult population are tobacco users"
 Warren Falkner also reports brisk trade in cigarettes. He said:
 Tt is surprising to note what large trade Is being done in the 35 and 50-cent packages of cigarettes. There is no spe- cial classes who use cigarettes. It is the popular smoke.
 "A large amount of granulated tobacco is sold in Birmingham, too. Most of the manufacturers of this Bind of tobacco give away free with each package a book of cigarette papers and many smokers man. utacture' their own cigarettes"
 A good business in all tobacco lines, too, is reported so far this year, the cigar bus mess being specially active just at this time Cigars of all kinds are bought by Birmingham smokers.
 All the tobacco merchants of Birming- ham report good business.
