SALES OF CIGARETTES
SHOW LARGE INCREASE

Continuing the upward trend of re-
cent years, consumption of cigarettes
during 1929 showed a further expansion
of approximately IL per cent. Analysing
the causes behind this favorable attain
ment in current survey of the tobacco
outlook, the Standard Statistics Co. of
New York is of the belief that full
maintenance Of such steady growth Is
In prospect during the present year and
estimated for 1890 a consumption Of
some 133, 900, 000. 900 cigarettes, as COM
pared with around 10000 100000 in
1929.
Warnings expansion of the three prin-
cipSl producers has been equally marked,
and with the price situation compare
lively satisfactory. a new record total
Of earnings for such manufacturers in
the present year is to be looked for.
While the downward trend of cigar
consumption has been arrested during
the past year. the increase in 1929
amounted to only about is per cent.
and little promise Of rapid increase is
held forth. Concentration on n few
popular priced brands, however, is meet
ing with relatively favorable results, and
well established manufacturers should
enjoy substantial profit this year.

cheney High.

The Southern Railways earnings for
1929 reflect the sharp decline in bust
ness during the last quarter. The wear
1929 started with real promise for inn
proved business in the South. The first
three quarters of the year brought a
moderate improvement in earnings de-
spite the heavy storms and floods in
tf2 Spring, which damaged crops and
brought some business irregularitv.
Roads management successfully met
these minor difficulties through a HIGH
degree of efficiency in the control Of
train movement, but the effects of the
october panic and succeeding business
depression were more severe and traffic
slumped sharply in the last two months
of the year.
Nine Months Business Good.
For the first nine months of 1929
Southern's actual freight movement to-
tailed 6,298, 1885,, 000-ton miles, as against
1921 1882, 900 in the like period of 1923.
During the last quarter freight traffic
declined to 2,051 ,685 ,0OO-ton miles.
against 2l81 ,226,00 the year previous
bringing the movement for the entire
year to a total of 8,350,5l8.OOO-ton
miles, as against S,4l2, 900 in 1928,
decrease of OF per cent. Freight
revenues followed the same general
course as freight traffic, revenues from
this source for the year totaling $lO7.-
962. 900, compared with $lO8 Gal 900 in
1928, decrease of only 0.62 per cent.
Passenger receipts followed the de-
clining tendency which has prevailed
throughout the country for several
years. However, the percentage of loss
in the latter months of the year was
less than in the earlier months. The
loss In passenger business for the year
amounted to $2,012,000, or 81 per cent
Back Mail Pay Factor.
Due to Southern'S receipt Of $1,614,-
600 from the Government for back mail
pay, gross revenues for the year showed
a decline of but $932,504 from the $l44,-
1l6,452 reported in 1928.
Southern continued to maintain close
control over operating expenses. Efflci-
ency In train operation Is reflected In
transportation ratio of 32.9 per cent, as
against 80 per cent in 1928, despite the
decline IN business, and especially the
lower passenger receipts. The latter

ton are now being assembled at the
United States Chamber of Commerce
and a cross section Of excerpts from
them has been taken to the White
House. Almost without exception, the
executives of the enterprises addressed
have scheduled capital outlay on a
more elaborate scale than in previous
years, and there are some signs that
the total expenditures of small buSi-
ness may exceed the aggregate OF new
capital investment looked for from the
big units. President Hoover is repre-
, sented as being particularly pleased
with the responses from the small en-
terprises.
Within a week or two the Eastern
coal industry will resume again that
seemingly endless litigation over lake
cargo rates, which has moved uneasily
to and fro from the Interstate Com
merce Commission through Congress to
the Supreme Court for the last decade
A temporary sterilization Of the coal
rate structure in the East has been
attained for a year or so on the basis
of making lake cargo shipments from
West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee
mines pay IS cents more per ton than
shipment to the ports from Western
Pennsylvania. The Eastern Ohio mines
have had q rate to the lakes 80 cents
better than the Southern State pro-
ducers.
Now both the Ohio and the Penn.
sylvania coal operators are preparing
petitions to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, asking that their rates to
the lakes be lowered in comparison
with the Southern rates. The South
organization in opposition, and the con-
test will be wide open shortly. There
is one vacancy on the Interstate Com
merce Commission yet untitled, and the
President is understood to be seeking
Tennessee candidate to fill 1t, sc
that it is possible that the newcomer
will have particular interest In the
approaching litigation.
While the United States is steadily
jamming upward the total of manu-
featured, goods it supplies each year
to international trade, 1t Is just as
steadily reducing the amount and value
of food stuffs that 1t ships abroad
The Commerce Department calculations
now completed for 1929 show that the
years foreign shipments of American
foods were about l per cent less In
was largely due to the decline In ex-
ports Of grains. Exports of meat were
larger in 1929 than they were the
previous year. and 50 were exports OF
| flour.
However. in spite Of the decline OF
relative values; the total of 1920 food
exports from the United States, which
was $754, 1853 900, was manifestly for
midable. The most important recess
sion in values Of any of the stems in
cluded in 1t was exhibited by wheat
which in quantity exported during 1929
was 65 per cent less than 1928. As
the Federal Farm Board and q large
number Of other people know, the
world wheat situation is highly pecul-
| lar at present. and American wheat
exports so far in 1880 are shrinking

Washington Ticker
BY CLINTON COFFIN,
Associated Press Financial Writer,


Three separate Federal Investigations
are now converging upon single prac-
tice of railroad arrangements, the So
called reciprocal buying" of fuel and
materials, with the object of demon
strating whether it has aspects to pub
legality or is otherwise opposed to pub
lie interest.
It Is rather notable, after many years
Of operation under 1t without disturb
ance, that reciprocal buying should so
suddenly come under fire, but there ap-
pears to be reason. Obviously, rail
executives are coming to feel that some
action should be taken to limit it, and
the present attack by investigation Is
being encouraged by the feeling.
The Federal Trade Commission, which
considers that the Clayton antitrust
law may be violated by some reciprocal
buying practice, has set hearing for
Chicago on February II, to consider
state Commerce Commission has a
party of special agents in the field
looking up facts preliminary to taking
testimony on the same point. Senator
Brookhart Republican, Iowa, has fol-
lowed up both proceedings by demand
ing senatorial investigation, citing
some specific instances of the practice
against which he complains.
In general. reciprocal buying of sup
plies and fuel involves the purchase of
such materials by given railroad from
a purveyor, who undertakes to furnish
the railroad with freight business. On
the surface the mutual advantage in
having a railroad place its supply
orders with industrial establishments
which furnish 1t freight is fairly obvi-
Gus, and the practice is widespread and
as old as are railroads. Notwithstand-
ing. good many carrier representatives
conclude that 1t leads to the paying Of
unnecessarily high prices for some ma
terials, while in the case of fuel, since
the rail bituminous coal purchases are
20 per cent of the national output,
there has been much complaint that
the carriers dominate the industry.
There can be no reports for many
months from either the commission
proceedings which are under way or
the senatorial inquisition which is be-
ing sought. But the situation does IL
Iustrate the degree to which publicity
ana inspection of all functions of rail
management is being carried nowadays
After President Hoover, two months
back, made his formal request to the
great industrial, transport and utility
corporations of the country to keep up
maintenance work and capital expendi-
ture through 1880 and got amazingly
general compliance, the business or
carnations seeking to extend the slim
nIuS made the appeal more general.

Income

How to report the return of a minor
is subject Of frequent inquiry. The
revenue act specifically provides that
every individual that has a net income
Of $500 or over, or $500 or over, de-
Nnding upon his marital status, shall
file a return. However, whether the
minor has been mancipated-allowed
control of his income-by his parents
and the source of the minors income
are material factors in determining how
the income shall be taxed. Most minors
are unemancipated. In such instances,
the parent has the legal right to the
minors earnings and must include them
in his return.
A minor living in the home of his
parent may be emancipated. If the
minor pays his board and otherwise
supports himself. there is an implied
emancipation. The same rule governs

A study of the appended chart CT

reveals that major swings in the cleo
trical equipment group follow closely
those of the general market. However,
changes have generally been more vio-
lent than those of the list as a whole.
This may be attributed to the fact that
two stocks General Electric and West

are popular speculative favorites and
tend to fiuctuate over a wide range.
