PRICES OF TOBACCO
REACH Low POINT
Growers Aroused Over In
ability to Obtain Better
Crop Values.
BY J. C. RoYLE.

Bitter controversy Is raging between
the bright leaf tobacco growers Of the
Southeast and the cigarette manufac-
turers and tobacco buyers.
The sales of bright leaf tobacco held
in Georgia and North Carolina have
erS who still have crops to dispose Of
are anxious and aroused. So bitterly
do they resent the prices paid that
there Is talk of an organized boycott
of manufactured tobacco In all forms,
but such policy Is frowned on BY the
cooler heads, who point out that re-
duction of consumption would hurt
them as well as the manufacturers and
buyers.
Price Controversy.
Each side blames the other for price
conditions. The manufacturers cite
overproduction and a huge volume OF
carry-over stocks. The growers In
many instances feel that they are buck
ing a gigantic combine. The fact re-
mains that in Georgia and Eastern
North Carolina prices have ranged
from ~ to IL cents pound for bright
Tugs and IL to Is for medium cutters,
which growers say is below cost OF pro-
duction.
Those farmers who are in q flnan-
cial position to do so are holding on TO
their tobacco. Offerings are limited,
but so are bids. 1t is question which
side will give way.
The growers point to the fact that
cigarette consumption is at the high
est point in history and the makers,
they say, have the prospect Of big
profits. The drop in price levels from
1929 is almost IS per cent for the
bright leaf, but growers say quality h
just as good as last year and that the
total yield will probably not be any
larger than in the 1929 season, in which
period profits to the grower were any
thing but satisfactory.
The manufacturers and buyers say
low prices are due to large stocks on
hand, production and prospects OF
q bumper crop. The warehouse men,
not allied particularly with either group,
declare that the unsettled condition Of
the foreign markets has been the thing
which has given buyers the opportunity
to secure tobacco at extremely low
prices. Some farmers agree that there
has been over-production and both
sides recognize the disorganization OF
the foreign markets, with warfare m
China and unsettled economic and
political conditions in Europe and
| South America.
Retail Situation.
! The cigarette manufacturers still are
| in active competition and large sums
are being spent for promotion and adj
vertising There seems small chance
of a decrease in retail cigarette prices
| in view Of conditions, although con-
! sumption according to returns to the
Internal Revenue Department, shows a
! continued and steady growth.
Retail tobacconists still are keeping
one eye firmly fixed on the operations
| of the chain stores, which they say,
are pushing sales of cigarettes at low
prices to attract customers who may
] be induced to buy other commoditfes
yielding a greater margin Of profit.

TRENDS AND PROSPECTS OF
LEADING ORGANIZATIONS.

NEW YORK, September S.-The fol-
lowing is q summary OF important cor
poration news prepared by the Standard
Statistics Co., Inc. for the Associated
Press:
Weekly News Review.
The stock market registered further
progress last week. Prices, which moved
in q narrow range, were higher Tues
day, declined moderately on Wednesday
and Thursday, but recovered most OF
their losses Friday, and on Saturday ad-
vanced to their best levels IN over a
month. Volume of transactions was
again small. Indications are public in
terest in stocks is at low ebb and that
price movements are largely controlled
by professional operations. With the
exception Of Latin American issues,
bonds were strong. Our index OF 80
prime bond issues touch a new high
on Friday, and is currently at the
highest point In over two years. south
American issues were disturbed by the
reports of political unrest in several
countries and receded moderately. Com
modify prices were unsettled with wheat,
rubber, coca and others touching new
years low In the money market tne
call rate advanced to az per cent. Inls
firmness is usual at this time OF the
year when QeuldLl0 lIOll hi0~AAoA POA1SN
reaches its high level. Brokers loans In
the week of September recorded an
increase of $4,000, 900. This Is the flrst
increase in brokers borrowings since the
week ended July 80. and brings total
loans to $3,lOl 100000. Daily average
volume of Federal Reserve Bank Sys-
TENS statement were increases OF $685.

grain products, coke and ore were the
only clasSifications failing to show an
increase in loadings over the week pre-
viouS. Compared with last year, however,
the contrast is distinctly unfavorable
with the decline reaching 17.3 per cent,
the largest Of any week since the be-
ginning of the present contraction in
freight last year. Steel ingot produce

holiday, but the Iron Age figures placed

capacity, compared with 81 per cent in
previous week and So per cent three
weeks ago. A survey at this time of the
various sources of demand leads to con-
illusions ingot output will be adanced
further in the early future weeks. How
ever, nothing more than normal sea-
sonal expansion is looked for. Produc-
ton of electricity in the week before
last declined or per cent from the prev
1ous week and was 4.3 per cent below
same week of 1929.
Construction Work.
Construction contracts awarded in the
States east of the Rocky Mountains
during August aggregated $347, 81 800,
according to F. w. Dodge Corporation.
This was drop of 5 per cent from July
total and 20 per cent smaller than in
August, 1929. For the first eight months
Of 1880 building awards declined 10 per
cent from year ago.
Automobile production during August
in the United States and Canada Is es-
timated at 240,100 cars by National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce.
This is the smallest output of any cor
responding month since 1921. Com
pared with July, production declined IL
per cent, while against a year ago
drop was SO per cent. Including esti-
mate for August, output in the first
eight months was 2,842 ,844 units, COM
pared with 4,444,947 in like period 1929,
a decline of SO per cent. The decrease
in outturn during August was about as
anticipated, as most plants were on part
time during the month. September Is
not expected to make q much better
showing, as output continues restricted
to trade requirements.
Statistics of the petroleum industry
continued to indicate progress in re-
duction of stocks and balancing of sup
ply and demand. Crude oil output was
reduced 9.I5O barrels and gasoline
stocks 1927 900 barrels in the week Of
August 80. Stocks of gasoline are cur
rently about 100000 barrels below
the years high point and the lowest
since December z, 1929. In response u
the improving position OF the refining
division, the wholesale price OF Unitee
States motor gasoline In midcontinent
market advanced one-haif cent to
cents during last week.

 Senator Walsh of Montana was present. Chairman Caraway asked MI. Curran if the association was working against Walsh.
 T think that is our business, Curran replied.

MODERN ESKIMO MAIDS
 HAVE AL FLAPPER WILES

SEATTLE. April IT. (P)-A beau ty expert visiting Alaska would find it hard to distinguish be- tween the Eskimo flapper and her sister in the states today.
 Those who visualize the Eskimo maiden as flat-nosed, swarthy high cheek-boned miss who chew3 blubber would be surprised should they go to Alaska, says Jonathan H. Wagner, chief of the Alaska division of the United States ed ucation office.
 The pure blood Eskimo will be extinct in another 20 years, pre- dict scientists who recently wis tied the far north, but that is nothing to worry about, says Wag- ner, whose headquarters are here
 The beauty that prevails among Eskimo girls is in no danger of vanishing, for the native popula- ton is increasing rather than dy- ing out, he declares.
 Accurate figures on the Eskimo population are difficult to obtain because of the assinilating process that is underway, but without re- gard to racial stock the number is growing from 3 to 5 per cent yearly, Wagner states.
 Records kept by school teachers show that in every section of AL aska births exec eded deaths among the Eskinos last year.
