TOBACCO PRICES HIGH
(By Associated Press

Washington. March 29.-The eY-
traordinary European demand for to.
bacco other than the cigar types and
the immensely increased use Of tobac.
co for cigarettes during 1919 raised
the average farm price Of the COM
posite chewing, smoking, snuff and
export types to 41.3 cents on Dec.
1, or greatly above the price Of o.
cents for cigar tobacco, experts Of the
Department Of Agriculture state.
The price Of cigar types Of tobac
co before last year always has been
above that Of the other types, as
whole. Chicago tobacco last year was
lower in price than It was In either
1918 or 1917, not because Of increase
of production, but because Of weaker
demand. In commenting on the pric.
es, the Department Of Agriculture
says the cigar has been overtaken and
passed by the cigarette.
