matim TO the retailers that an advance
OF from So to $40 per thousand will

sumer who heretofore obtained the
three fora quarter variety will now
have 10 pay 10 cents straight on the
same article; the present 10-cent cigar
will be sold two fer 25 cents and the
present TWO for 25 will be 10 cents

Increased wages aud the cost OF ma

as a reason for the higher price. The
strike Of the Cuban cigarmakers, who
won their demands for payment in
money Of the United States. which was
equivalent TO an advance of 10 per

that goods sent into the United stat es
must also be paid for in American coin.
