In the very nature of the case the
disintegration plan is complicated in
detail. That part of it in which the in
vesting public is most interested, how
ever, contemplates the distribution of
the domestic business of the American
Tobacco Company among three cor
porations besides itself, namely the
Liggett and Myers Tobacco Company
and the P. Lorillard Company, to be
organized, and the r. j. Reynolds To-
bacco Company, an existing corpora
ton. These three companies are to is
sue new bonds and stock to the total
amount of $115,000,000 and the present
holders of Tobacco securities are to be
offered the following exchange: For
the 6 per cent. Tobacco bonds, 12O in
cash for one-half of each individuals
holdings and for the other half new
per cent. bonds at par of the Liggett
and Myers and Lorillard companies;
for the 4 per cent bonds, SO in cash
for one-half and for the other half new
per cent bonds at par in the Liggett
and Myers and Lorillard Companies;
for one-third of each individuals hold

The common stock of the American
Tobacco Company is to be left in the
hands of the present holders, frequent
ly referred to as the insiders But
they are to be called upon to subscribe
at par to s36,651, 1925 new common
stock of the companies to be organized
and will receive in the nature of div
idend the two-thirds of the capital
stock of the r. J. Reynolds Company,
now owned by the American Tobacco
Company. The latter will thus be able
to pay off it's present outstanding
bonds, and will be left with $52,549,-
400 preferred stock, to which voting
rights will be given, and S40,26O, 400
common stock as it's only outstanding
securities. Attorneys for the Tobacco
Trust point out that none of the four
companies will in effect have any in
terest in or relation to the others, al
though at the outset they will all of
necessity have many stockholders in
common. Two-thirds of the stock of
the United Cigars Stores Company now
owned by the American Tobacco Com
pany will be distributed to the latter's
common stockholders. The Imperial

THE TOBACCO TRUSTS PLAN.

On October 16 the American Tobac-
co Company filed with the Circuit
Court for the Southern District of New
York its plan of dissolution by which
it proposes to surrender it's monopoly
of both the domestic and foreign to-
bacco trade and restore lawful condi-
lions as directed by the United States
Supreme Court in it's notable decision
last June. If the Circuit Court ap-
proves the plan, the business in tobac-
co and related products will in the flu
ture be divided among fourteen "sepa-
rate and Independent companies, no
one of them having control of or dom
nance in the trade as to any of the
products manufactured by it; no one
of them having any dominance or con-
trolling position as to the purchase of
raw material of any kind, no one of
them having interest, by way of own
ership of stock or otherwise, in any
other of them, and each of them being
company, whether now existing or
to be created under the plan, in which
the American Tobacco Company will
have no interest" The radical nature
of the changes is emphasized by re-
ference to the fact that the trust, has
heretofore controlled the production of
20 per cent of the smoking tobacco
manufactured in the United States, 80
per cent of the plug tobacco, 10 per
cent of the fine cut, 80 per cent of
cigarettes, 13 per cent of cigars, 80 per
cent of snuff, and SO per cent of lit
tie cigars. 1t was dominant also in
the business of manufacturing lcorice
paste and Porto Rican tobacco, controll-
er the entire trade with foreign coun-
tries, and was an important factor in
the domestic retail trade The stocks,
factories, brands, and other properties
with which the American Tobacco
Company proposes to part in order to
restore competition in all these lines
is estimated to be worth $115,000,000

weeks ago when the last OF the large
1905 crop WAS being marketed. At
that time receipts for the first two
weeks OF September were 1857, 900
bushels while shipments during the
same time were 3,941, 600 bushels. This
year receipts for two weeks have been
5000 bushels and shipments $3.50

while there was good increase In

Is actual decrease when to the Bh4p-

than any which have yet been recorded

of the pronounced belief that the ma

opinion:
Il believe the time has come for the
