WOMEN VITAL FACTOR
IN TOBACCO SALES

Which of the "Big Four" of the to-
bacco industry viii gain ascendency IN
the scramble for public favor depends
largely, says Moody's Investors Service,
on the success with which the market
among woman smokers is developed. In
a study entitled Outlook for Tobacco
Companies" issued today, Moody'S says:
THE large increases In cigarette con-
sumption in recent years have given rise
to considerable speculation concerning
the question as to what percentage OF
this consumption may be attributed 10
woman smokers. This question has I'M
portant bearing on estimates OF total
future consumption of cigarettes In TINS
country as 1t is relevant to know how
large q field still remains open TO po-
tential cigarette business. For practical
reasons we have approached this prop
lem from a purely statistical angie, put
have checked our results, 50 lar as was
possible, with opinions OF q NUMBER OF
people in the trade. We have arrived
at the conclusion that women smoked
In 1929 not more than IL per cent Oh
the cigarettes in this country-that is,
not more than about 4,000,OOO,0OO
cigarettes.
I'm the absence of any evidence to the
contrary, 1t may safely be assumed that
the popularity of the cigarette will con-
tinue for the next decade at least. The
forces which have stimulated the recent
growth of cigarette consumption are still
AT, work and the preSent-day tendencies
of our economic and social development
seem to favor continued preference OF
smokers, both men and women, for the
cigarette"

REGULATION URGED
IN COTTON TRADING
Senate Probe Committee Seeks Body
to Supervise Future Dealings
in Staple.
BY the Associated Press.


Establishment of Government COM
mission to regulate the cotton futures
exchanges was recommended today by
the Senate cotton market investigating
committee in report approved by the
Senate agriculture committee.
The committee report proposed that
the cotton futures exchanges be desig-
mated by the Secretary of Agriculture as
contract markets" and that a Gov
eminent commission be empowered to
suspend or revoke the designation of q
contract market"
1t was recommended that the Secre-
taries of Agriculture and Commerce
and the Attorney General compose the
Supernumerary Commission.
THE committee is particularly i'm
pressed" its report read, with the lack
OF reliable exact information concern
ing fundamental conditions existing
from day to day in those markets (cot-
ton futureS) and with the fact that no
governmental agency Is authorized to
exercise any regulatory supervision or
control whatever over the actual
processes of future trading or to obtain
current information of a kind which
would be absolutely essential to any re-
liable conclusions with respect to manip-
ulative or unnatural influences which
from time to time are supposed to have
an erect in their operations"
The report also urged the Secretary
Of Agriculture to Standardize bale.coyer-
ing materials with a view to affording
better protection to cotton shipments
and TO nave the Secretary study recent
productions OF cotton abroad,

MOVIE EXPORT BUSINESS
SHOULD SHOW BIG GAIN

Although the movement toward wir-
ing Of theaters for sound motion pic
ture showing has been much slower
abroad than in the United States, it is,
nevertheless, making progress, according
to q current survey of the Standard
Statistics Co., which follows, in part:
American producers, in consequence,
have been analyzing the situation and
are planning changes in production
methods to meet the new foreign de-
mand. Exports constitute q consider
able factor in total business and 1t Is
important that steps be taken to keep
this division on a profitable basis
1T Is probable that the language bar
rier will be satisfactorily overcome in
talkie production. Reproduction of an
American movie in a French studio, for
example, through the substitution Of an
entire French cast, is one of the feasible
methods suggested. In this manner a
large part of the original production
can be reproduced abroad for a small
portion of the first pictures cost"

Previously Robsion had seemed
