LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE smokers Of pipes
are threatened with an increase of 50 per
cent. in the price Of briars. This il owing
TO a combination of circumstances The
chief cause is strikes in the two great pipe
making districts, st. Claude, France, and
Nuremberg. Germany, which have practi-
cally stopped the output for three months.
There has also reen a scarcity Of good
briar in Italy, which produces the best
roots. The earthquake in Calabria so
shattered the industry that the workers
there turned to other occupations. Fur
thermore, the rise in the price Of v%ulcanite
and silver has increased the cost of mouth
