Curb Prices Weak
In Quiet Session;
Tone Is Easier
Traders Show Little Inter-
est in Stocks and Pre-
Holiday Spirit Prevails;
Oils Are Irregular

Trading on the curb market yester-
day was quiet most Of the day, with u
pre-holiday listlessness in evidence.
Professionals took advantage of oppor-
tunties to even accounts where these
were presented. An easier tone pre-
vailed and prices sagged fractionally.
General Asphalt was fairly steady
and moved up above a? at one time, but
reacted with other industrials and
showed only a small gain on the final
sale. United Retail Candy was steady
at 9, but Sweets sold off fractionally
to s.
Oils were irregular, with Interna-
tional Petroleum weaker at 1914 and
Simms off 1s at 77s. Carb Syndicate
was virtually unchanged at the close,
after selling up to IL at one time.
Naracaibo closed at 1875, off Il.
Mining shares were rather active,
and Boston and Montana registered an
advance. Tonopah shares were steady.

Commercial Credit

The effects of the general easing in
the credit situation were reelected in
the acceptance market yesterday for
the first time, when dealers in prime
bankers bills reduced their rates IS Of
per cent
Bills accepted by member banks in
the Reserve system were quoted for the
ninety day maturities at Ga to 61s,
against former range of 6as to Ga.
A similar reduction was made in mem
Der bank bills for the sixty and thirty
day maturities.
Non-member bank bills were not
notably changed. Dealers in bankers
acceptances reported an active demand
for bills both from the interior and
for local account. Commercial paper
rates show a tendency to shade off, al
though the market for most paper holds
around per cent. Rumors of an i'm
pending cut in discount rates of the
Federal Reserve Bank are not credited
in responsible banking ,uarters. Bank
ers, however, admit that the money sit
uation is much improved.

ROW MAY |NJURE
POSTAL EMPLOYEES
Report Of Congressional Com
mittee on Salaries Threaten
ed by Political SquabbIe.

A factional row has broken out re-
garding the report OF the Joint Con-
gressional Commission on Postal Sal
aries.
The alarm echoes throughout the
Capitol that action to prevent the de-
moralization and breakdown OF the
postal service must be taken before
Congress adjourns. Nevertheless the
postal commission, after fifteen
months OF work. has not completed it's
job. and a hue and cry has been raised
over IL.
Senator McKellar declares that the
report Is almost ready and accuses
the Republican members of the COM
mission Of being responsible for what
ever delay has occurred Congressman
Britten is up in arms over the effort
to make the report partisan issue.
and says that as soon as the salaries
OF fourth-class postmssters and a few
minor ,classifications are determined
upon the report will be given to Con-
gress.
In the meantime word has spread
out of Washington that no report can
be expected at the present session,
and wholesale designations of postal
employees are coming in. Business
men, fearing a collapse OF the service.
are deluging Congressman with let
ters pleading for action.
Representatives of the postal en-
ployes' unions have not entirely absn-
doned hope that the required legisla-
ton granting horizontal increases to
the postoffice workers will be passed
i'm the closing hours before the recess
But IL the partisan row on the COM
mission should develop there is no
chance OF action.

Consumption in U. S. Shows
Enormous Growth Of 1881
y Per Capita.

An enormous growth in cigarette
consumption is shown by the Internal
Revenue figures just completed by
from 200 per capita in 1910 to 1871
per capita in 1918. an increase OF
I,OS1.
Internal revenue collections per
capita for tobacco from 1889 to 1898
averaged about x30.0O0,OOO per an
mum. The Spanish War taxes were
average annual revenue of $4,000. 900
for the ensuing four years.
From 1908 to 1916 there was a
gradual increase from S44 200. 900 to
$S5, 100000 In 1917, $103,OOO.OO was
collected; in 1918, $156,0O0. 900: in 1919.
$2O6. 100000. while current monthly
receipts indicate that approximately
$500 .0O0,0 will be collected during
the fiscal year. 1920.
The amount is greater than the
total receipts from all sources of In
ternal Revenue in any year prior to
1911. 1t exceeds the total receipts
from customs for any one year prior
to 1906.
1t is interesting to recall that so
short time ago as 1890 the total
ordinary disbursements of the United
States Government were only $297,-
100000.
In short. the revenue from tobacco
for 1920 will exceed the total an
nual expenditures Of the Federal Gov
ernment for any year prior to 1891 +.
except during the civil war period
The per capita revenue from tobac-
co taxes has increased from 80 cents
in 1914 to $1.93 in 1919.
In 1910, the per capita production
of cigars. counting only males eight
cen years of age and over, was 22S.
and in 1918. 207, a decrease of forty
one.
Based on total population, the pro-
duction of cigars deceased from sew
enty-four percapita in 1910 to sixty
seven in 1918. Cigarettes increased
from ninety-four per capita to 443.
Plub tobacco decreased from 1.S9
pounds per capita in 1910 to 1.6
pounds in 1919, while smoking toA4lc-
CO increased from 2.32 to 2.45 pounds.
