Increasing Profits to the Govern.
nlent From the Weed.

Consul General Skinner advises thai
the report OF the French tobacco mo-
nopoly for 1901 has just been made pub
lie. He writes from Marseilles. giving
{, summary:
The receipts for the year amounted to
So. 474,s9a. an increase Of s2.5l9,95o over
those Of 1908. and the expenses to ;l5,-
1891. a decrease OF 33o4,17s from those
OF 1909: Thus the total profits amount
to s7o.64G,54!. an Increase Of s2,595,773
over those OF 1903. The sale OF cigars
increased s.sl per cent, and aggregated
5,S6l,lS8 pounds; cigarette sales Increased
5.G4 per cent, and were 4.s52.sos pounds.
The cut packet tobacco (scaferlatD
showed the greatest increase in popu-
larity, 62,479253 pounds being Sold or
72.G3 per cent. more than the previous
year. Tho superior quality OF scafcrlau
is composed principally OF American to-
.bacco. the product OF French cultivation,
being used for the ordinary quality. Roll
and chewing tobacco sales were 2,6o3,325
pounds, or 800 per cent. more than In
1908. OF tobacco powder the sales In
creased l1.S9 per cent. to 1920. 465
pounds. The average rate OF tobacco
consumption In France for 1904 was 1923
ounces, the value being $40, of which
sum s2.2l was returned to tho Treasury.
Tho production Of tobacco In France
amounted to s3,602.0l7, as against $t,13S,-
CSC In 1903. There was n small decrease
In 1904 In number OF tobacco planters
and acreage, but Il still creator decrease
occurred In tho YIELD having been only
1850 pounds per hcctnre CAR acres.
against 2.3 pounds the previous year.
Hence, although the price advanced from
1920 10 yl7G7 pcr 100 kIlos (220 pounds),
the returns per acre dropped from S25soi
to S227.93 per hcctare.
The Increase OF tobacco imports into
France during 1904 was considerable.
From Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio and
Virginia came 2,s23 more tons OF leaf
tobacco, or n total OF 16,6o5 tons, while
from Habana, Mexico. sunatra, Java
and the Levant came 1886 tons. an In
crease OF 90 tons. From Hungary,
Ukralnef, Astrakhan Java etc. for
scafcrlati came 4,l39 tons. an Increase
OF 1017 tons. Tho 1904 imports Of cigars
OF foreign manufacture were ~ tons, and
OF cigarettes GG tons.
