A Boston drug concern has been
selling cigarettes at discount of four
cents from the regular price, ana the
American Tobacco Co. has refused 10
sell them any more Of the goods Whiie
they are cutting the price. Tbey say
they cannot see where there is any
difference SO far as cutting goes m
making a discount in the price ana
selling at the regular price and giving
coupons that are good for four cents
although the latter operation does not
meet with any opposition from the To-
bacco Co. BY the way. we thought the
American Tobacco CO. had had deal
ings with the government, and had
been dissolved, or something, so that
il could not restrain trade. Al any
rate it would seem If it was to stick
for the regular prices it should re-
mire one dealer to stand To them as
